Read the Safety Instructions section and the 

following pages if you are unfamiliar with the machine.

Zero turn mowers are far more maneuverable than 
typical riding mowers due to their unique steering 
capabilities.
We suggest that this section be reviewed in its entirety 
prior to attempting to move the mower under its own 
power. Additionally, we suggest when first operating 
the mower, use a reduced throttle speed and reduced 
ground speed by NoT moving control levers to the 
furthest forward or reverse positions during initial 
operation, or until operator becomes comfortable 
with controls. We also suggest first time users, or new 
users to Zero Turn mowers to become familiar with 
the mower’s movement on a hard surface, such as 
concrete or blacktop PRIoR to attempting to operate 
on turf. Until operator becomes comfortable with 
mower controls and zero turning capability, they may 
damage turf due to overly aggressive maneuvers.

To move forward and backward
The direction and speed of the mower’s movements 
is effected by the movement of the control lever(s) 
on each side of mower. The left control lever controls 
the left wheel. The right control lever controls the right 
wheel.

First time users should push mower (see Manual 
Transport in the 

Operation section) to an open, flat 

area, without other people or vehicles or obstacles 
nearby. To move unit under its own power, the 
operator must be in the seat, start engine (see 
Before Starting in the 

Operation section), adjust 

engine speed to idle, disengage parking brake, do 
not engage blades at this time, rotate control levers 
inward. As long as the control levers have not been 

moved forward or backwards, the mower will not 
move. Slowly move both control levers forward slightly. 
This will allow mower to start moving forward in a 
straight line. Pull back on control levers to the neutral 
position and mower should stop moving. Pull back 
slightly on control levers, this will allow mower to start 
moving backwards. Push forward on control levers to 
the neutral position and mower should stop moving.

To turn to the right
While moving in a forward direction, pull the right lever 
back towards the neutral position while maintaining 
the position of the left lever, this will slow the rotation 
of the right wheel and cause the machine to turn in 
that direction.

To turn to the left
While moving in a forward direction pull the left lever 
back towards the neutral position while maintaining 
the position of the right lever, this will slow the rotation 
of the left wheel and cause the machine to turn in that 
direction.

To zero turn
While moving in a forward direction, first pull both 
control levers back until the mower stops or slows 
dramatically.
Then by alternating one lever slightly to the forward 
position and the other in the reverse position, the 
mower turns to the direction of the reverse position 
lever.
