TO
TURN AROUND
When
you
want
to
turn around in practice,
slow the engine
throttle
down
then
lift
the
handlebars
up
high enough
to
find the balance
point
between the
weight
of
the engine
up
front
and the
weight
of
the
tines in the rear.
When you have found this balance, swing the
handlebars in· the
direction
you
wish
to
turn
around and
follow
along
with
your
feet. (Be
careful to keep
your
feet and legs away from
the revolving tines.) See Photo 5/5. Let the
powered wheels
do
most
of
the
turning
and
you
just
guide
it. Also see Photos 5/6A,
B,
C and
D.
When you are
pointing
in the
direction
you
want
to
go,
lower
the tines back
to
"travel"
position by lowering the handlebars. Put the
Forward/Reverse Lever in Neutral long enough
to
get
properly
lined
up
with
the
imaginary row
you
are tilling, and then
put
the
lever back
into
Forward.
