Driving the Machine
Driving the machine benefits from an understanding of
what zero-turn-radius mower means. The drive wheels turn
independently, powered by hydraulic motors on each axle;
hence one side can turn in reverse while the other turns
forward causing the machine to spin rather than turn. This
vastly improves the machine maneuverability but may require
some adjustment if the operator is unfamiliar.
WARNING
The machine can spin very rapidly. The operator
may lose control of the machine and cause personal
injury or damage to the machine.
•
Use caution when making turns.
•
Slow the machine down before making sharp
turns.
The throttle control regulates the engine speed as measured
in rpm (revolutions per minute). Placing the throttle control
in the F
AST
position can be best for performance. For most
applications, operating in the full-throttle position is desirable.
