As the control levers are pushed farther rearward
the speed of the tractor will increase.
To slow the tractor move the controls lever
forward to attain the desired speed, or move the
levers to the neutral position to stop the tractor.
IMPORTANT: Always maintain your grasp on the
drive control levers. Do not release the levers to
slow the tractor or to return to neutral.

Turning While Driving Rearward
•
•
The greater the fore-to-aft distance between the
two levers, the sharper the tractor will turn.
•
To turn the tractor while driving rearward, move
the control levers as necessary so that one lever
is forward of the other. The tractor will turn in the
direction of the forward control lever.
To execute a "pivot turn," move the turn side
drive control lever to the neutral position, while
moving the other control lever rearward.
IMPORTANT: Making a "pivot turn" on grass
will greatly increase the potential for
defacement of the turf.

To turn to the left while traveling in reverse,
