Features & Controls
of the Zero Turn Rider
A. Ground Speed Control Levers
These levers control the ground speed of the rider. The
left lever controls the left rear drive wheel and the right
lever controls the right rear drive wheel.
Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed
of the associated wheel, and pulling back on a lever
increases the REVERSE speed.
Note: The further a lever is moved away from the neutral
position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See the Operating the Zero Turn Rider section, page 14,
for steering instructions.
B. Seat Adjustment Lever
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the
lever forward, position the seat as desired, and release
the lever to lock the seat in position.
C. Control Panel
The control panel houses the starting, engine speed and
PTO controls. See Page 8 for more details.
Figure 1. CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The information below briefly describes the function of the individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mow-
ing require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and
sequence of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.
Please take a moment and familiarize

tion and status information. See Page 8 for more
