Operation In Reverse 
Keep both feet on the foot platform at all times.  
Look behind you before backing to prevent 
injuring yourself or anyone behind you.  Operate 
the mower very slowly, inching it backward until 
you become familiar with how the mower 
operates.  Always operate slowly if in an awkward 
location or position.  While backing up never place 
your foot or feet near the wheels or the mower 
deck to prevent serious personal injury.  The 
control system is equipped with a return to neutral 
from reverse spring.  This is to aid the operator in 
returning the mower to neutral after a reverse 
maneuver. 
 
 
 
 
 
Zero-Radius Turn Operation 
During zero-radius turns (when one mower wheel 
rotates backwards while the other rotates forward) 
drive extra slowly to reduce the possibility of 
losing traction, or control, or becoming dizzy.  This 
will help prevent you from being thrown off the 
mower or into the control levers.  Be aware that if 
you do a turn on a slope you may go through all of 
the orientations to a slope mentioned below and 
must handle the mower accordingly. 
 
 
 
 
 
Operation on Slopes 
DO NOT operate on steep slopes.  Do not 
operate the mower on slopes steeper than you 
can feel secure about the traction of the tires and 
the stability of the mower.  Do not operate the 
mower on slopes at all when the grass is wet.  
There is a danger of suddenly sliding sideways or 
down the hill.  When operating on a slope, travel 
across the grade whenever possible, not in an up 
or down pattern.  Reduce speed and exercise 
extreme caution on slopes and in sharp turns to 
prevent tipping or loss of control.  Be especially 
cautious when changing direction on slopes.   
 
When pointing up a slope, your mower has the 
most weight on the drive wheels and therefore the 
most traction at the tires.  However, this is the 
angle that it has the most tendency to tip back 
(“pop a wheelie.”)  This is the preferred angle for 
mowing small areas of steeper slopes. 
WARNING
 
Recommendations for this angle: 
• Lean as far forward as possible to shift your 
weight to the front of the mower. 
• Accelerate gently.  Do not accelerate quickly to 
avoid “popping a wheelie”. 
• If backing down the hill, do not stop suddenly 
but slow down gradually. 
 
When pointing down a slope, your mower has 
the least weight on the rear drive wheels and 
therefore the least traction at the tires.  This is the 
angle that the mower has the most tendency to 
slide.  However, this is the angle that it has the 
least tendency to tip back.  Avoid this angle, as it 
has the least advantage for your mower. 
    
WARNING 
 
Recommendations for this angle: 
• Sit back as far as you can on the seat.  This 
adds more of your body weight to the drive 
wheels for more traction. 
• Do not change speed suddenly to minimize the 
tendency of going into a slide.  Accelerate 
and decelerate gently.  If you ever go into an 
uncontrolled slide while pointing down a 
slope the recommended procedure is to let 
go of the handles and jump off if necessary.  
Otherwise, control the mower gently and 
stay off slopes that tend to make the wheels 
slide.  
    
WARNING 
 
When crossing a slope sideways, your mower 
has the average amount of weight on the drive 
wheels versus the front wheels, similar to level 
ground.  However, this angle leaves the least 
weight on the higher side drive wheel, tending to 
make it slip.  This is the preferred angle for 
mowing large areas of gentle slopes. 
 
Recommendations for this angle: 
• Sit back, as far as you can on the seat.  This 
adds weight to the rear drive wheels and will 
allow you to mow more quickly across the 
slope without sliding.  Remember it is 
recommended that operators weigh at least 
120 pounds and not more than 300 pounds.  
These are general guidelines only.  The 
mower function and comfort will vary
