16 Read the Safety section and following pages, if you ae unfamilia with the machine. Taining Due to unique steeing capabilities, zeo tun mowes ae fa moe maneuveable than typical iding mowes. This section should be eviewed in its entiety pio to attempting to move the mowe unde its own powe. When fist opeating the mowe o until becoming comfotable with contols, use a educed thottle speed and educed gound speed. DO NOT move contol leves to the futhest fowad o evese positions duing initial opeation. Fist time uses should become familia with the mowe s movement on a had suface, such as concete o blacktop PRIOR to attempting to opeate on tuf. Until the opeato becomes comfotable with the mowe contols and zeo tuning capability, ovely aggessive maneuves may damage tuf. Steeing To move fowad and backwad The diection and speed of the mowe s movements ae effected by the movement of the contol leve(s) on each side of mowe. The left contol leve contols the left wheel. The ight contol leve contols the ight wheel. Fist time uses should push the mowe (see Moving Machine By Hand in the Opeation section) to an open, flat aea without othe people, vehicles o obstacles neaby. To move the unit unde its own powe, the opeato must sit in the seat and stat the engine (see Befoe Stating in the Opeation section). Adjust the engine speed to idle, disengage the pak bake but do not engage the blades at this time. Rotate contol leves inwad. As long as the contol leves have not been moved fowad o backwads, the mowe will not move. Slowly move both contol leves fowad slightly. This will allow mowe to stat moving fowad in a staight line. Pull the contol leves back to the neutal position and the mowe should stop moving. Pull back slightly on contol leves, allowing the mowe to move backwads. Push the contol leves fowad to the neutal position and mowe should stop moving. To tun to the ight While moving in a fowad diection, pull the ight leve back towads the neutal position while maintaining the position of the left leve, this will slow the otation of the ight wheel and cause the machine to tun in that diection. To tun to the left While moving in a fowad diection pull the left leve back towads the neutal position while maintaining the position of the ight leve, this will slow the otation of the left wheel and cause the machine to tun in that diection. To zeo tun While moving in a fowad diection, fist pull both contol leves back until the mowe stops o slows damatically. Then by altenating one leve slightly to the fowad position and the othe in the evese position, complete the tun.
