OPERATION
Driving the Tractor in Reverse
WARNING
Always look behind and down on both sides of the tractor
before backing up. Always look behind while traveling
in the reverse direction. Mowing in reverse is not
recommended.
1. Slowly and evenly move both lapbar drive control levers
rearward. The tractor will start to move in the reverse
direction (Figure 24).

2. As the lapbar drive control levers are pushed farther rearward
the speed of the tractor will increase.
3. To slow the tractor move the lapbar drive control levers
forward to attain the desired speed, or move the lapbar drive
control levers to the neutral position to stop the tractor.
Turning While Driving Rearward
To turn the tractor while driving rearward, move the lapbar
drive control levers as necessary so that one drive control lever is
forward of the other. The tractor will turn in the direction of the
forward lapbar drive control lever.
1. To turn to the left while traveling in reverse, move the left
drive control lever forward of the right drive control lever
(Figure 25).

2. To turn to the right while traveling in reverse, move the right
drive control lever forward of the left drive control lever
(Figure 26).
Rearward Right Turn
Figure 26
NOTE: The greater the distance between the two lapbar drive
control levers, the sharper the tractor will turn.
3. To execute a “pivot turn,” move the turn side drive control
lever to the neutral position, while moving the other drive
control lever rearward.
NOTE: Making a “pivot turn” on grass will greatly increase the
potential for defacement of the turf.
