OPERATION 1. Slowly and evenly move both lapbar drive control levers rearward. The tractor will start to move in the reverse direction. See Figure 24. Neutral Position Slower Rearward Right Turn Faster Figure 24 2. As the lapbar drive control levers are pushed farther rearward the speed of the tractor will increase. 3. To slow the tractor move the lapbar drive control levers forward to attain the desired speed or move the lapbar drive control levers to the neutral position to stop the tractor. TURNING WHILE DRIVING REARWARD To turn the tractor while driving rearward, move the lapbar drive control levers as necessary so that one drive control lever is forward of the other. The tractor will turn in the direction of the forward lapbar drive control lever. 1. To turn to the left while traveling in reverse, move the left drive control lever forward of the right drive control lever. See Figure 25. Figure 26 NOTE: The greater the distance between the two lapbar drive control levers, the sharper the tractor will turn. 3. To execute a "pivot turn", move the turn side drive control lever to the neutral position, while moving the other drive control lever rearward. NOTE: Making a "pivot turn" on grass will greatly increase the potential for defacement of the turf. EXECUTING A ZERO TURN 1. Stop the forward or reverse motion of the tractor by moving the two lapbar drive control levers to neutral. 2. To turn clockwise, move the left lapbar drive control lever forward while simultaneously moving the right lapbar drive control lever rearward. See Figure 27. Clockwise Zero Turn Rearward Left Turn Figure 25 2. To turn to the right while traveling in reverse, move the right drive control lever forward of the left drive control lever. See Figure 26. 19 Figure 27
