STARTING THE ELECTRIC ZERO TURN MOWER
Operating a zero turn mower is different from operating a standard riding mower. Zero turn mowers are rear-wheel
drive and the wheels operate independently as directed by the position of the steering levers. Before you begin to mow
your grass, we strongly encourage you to find a large, level, and open area to practice operating the mower using the
instructions that follow. Once you can comfortably and reliably perform each of these maneuvers, you are ready to begin
mowing.
WARNING: Clear the area of bystanders before operating the mower. If anyone enters the mowing area, stop
immediately and do not continue mowing until the bystanders leave the area.
WARNING: Avoid sudden starts, stops, and turns, as well as exces sive speed, especially when first learning to
operate the mower. The mower can spin rapidly, which may cause you to lose control and could result in death, serious
per sonal injury and/or damage to the mower. Press the driving-speed adjustment button to the lowest speed (refer to
Driving Speed Adjustment Button in this manual) to limit the amount of speed avail able until you are fully capable of
operating the mower in all situations.
1. Insert the safety key.
2. With the safety key inserted, press the start/stop button for 3 seconds to illuminate the LCD screen.
3. Check for the appropriate driving mode by pressing the driving mode button.
NOTICE: It is always recommended to start the mower in the lowest driving speed.
4. Release the parking brake pedal from the braking position and move the two steering levers inward from the open
position to the neutral position. You are ready to maneuver the steering levers to drive the mower.
5. Pull the PTO switch to start the cutting blades.
6. Push the steering levers forward for forward motion and pull back for reverse motion (Fig. 22).
NOTICE: The electric park brake will engage until the steering levers are returned to the open position. When the steering
levers are back in neutral position, the mower just stops without braking electrically (Fig. 22).
NOTICE: When the mower is started on a slope, the moment the steering levers are pushed forward, the mower will keep
still on the slope without sliding along the slope. Once the steering levels are pushed forward enough, the mower can be
driving forward normally. It is a Slope Assist feature for safe starting of EGO electric zero turn mower.
