OPERATION
DRIVING THE LAWN TRACTOR
Once the lawn tractor is moving forward, you’ll need to know how to
steer correctly, adjust speed, begin mowing, and how to stop.
Steering
To make it easier to cut various lawns, your lawn tractor is very
maneuverable and can turn quickly.
Turning sharply when using higher
ground speeds can cause the lawn
tractor to lose traction.
The lawn tractor can tip over, and you
can be injured or killed.
Avoid sharp turns when using higher
aears.
After using the lawn tractor for a while, you’ll get a better feel for how
much effort to use on the steering wheel for a particular turn.
The speed of the lawn tractor greatly affects how the steering
responds. For this reason, you should shift the transmission to a
lower ground speed before entering turns.
Avoid turning the lawn tractor when operating on a sloped surface.
See Operation on Slopes later in this chapter for more details.
