MTD Troy-Bilt Zero Turn Tractor RZT 50 W Inch Deck Lawn Mower Owners Manual

Executing a Zero Turn
STOPPING THE TRACTOR
Move  both   drive  control  levers   to  the  neutral
position to stop the motion of the tractor.
WARNING:  When  executing  a  zero  turn,
the
tractor
MUST
BE
STOPPED.
Executing a zero turn while the tractor is
moving   can   significantly  reduce   your
control   of  the   tractor   and  will   cause
severe turf defacement to occur.
Push    the    PTO    switch    downward    to    the
disengaged position.
Use  the  deck  lift  handle  to  raise  the  deck  to  its
highest position.
If dismounting the tractor:
Stop the forward or reverse motion of   the tractor
by moving the two drive control levers to neutral.
-
Move the drive control handles fully outward in
the neutral position.
To  turn  clockwise,  slowly  move  the  left  control
lever  forward  while   simultaneously  moving  the
right control lever rearward. See Figure 18.

Engage the parking brake.
Move the throttle control lever between the half
and full throttle positions,

the key from the switch.
CLOCKWISE ZERO TURN
DRIVING ON SLOPES
Refer  to  the  SLOPE  GAUGE  on  page  10  to  help
determine slopes where you may not operate safely.
WARNING:  Do  not  operate   on  inclines
with a slope in excess of 15 degrees (a
rise of approximately 2-1/2 feet every 10
feet).   The  tractor   could   overturn   and
cause serious injury.
Always drive across slopes, never up and down.
Control  the  speed  and   direction  of  the  tractor
using  primarily  the  control  lever  on  the  downhill
side  of  the  tractor,  with  the  uphill  control  lever
remaining essentially in a fixed position.
Figure 18  
Avoid  turning  downhill  if  possible.  Start   at  the
bottom of a slope and work upward. Always slow
down before turning.
Use   extra  care   and   go  slowly   when   turning
downhill.
To  turn  counterclockwise,  slowly  move  the  right
control lever forward while simultaneously moving
the left control lever rearward. See Figure 19.
COUNTERCLOCKWISE ZERO TURN
OPERATING THE PTO
Operate the PTO clutch as follows:
Move  the  throttle  control  lever  to  approximately
the mid throttle position.
Pull the PTO switch upward to the “ENGAGED”
position.
Advance the throttle lever to the operating speed
(full engine speed).
The operator must remain in the tractor seat at all
times.   If  the   operator  should   leave   the  seat
without turning off the power take-off switch, the
tractor’s engine will shut off.
The  PTO  clutch  cannot  be  operated  when  the
tractor  is  driving   in  the  reverse  direction.  The
PTO   will  disengage   when   both  drive   control
levers are moved to the reverse position, and will
re-engage when one (or both) control levers are
moved to the neutral or forward position.
