TO OPERATE MOWER
Your mower is equipped with an operator
presence system. When the engine is running,
any attempt by the operator to leave the seat
without first setting the park brake will shut off
the engine.
• Select desired height of cut.
• Start deck blades by pulling the PTO
switch up into the engaged position.
• To stop the deck blades, press down on
the PTO Switch into the disengaged
position.
WARNING
Do not operate the deck without either
the entire grass catcher, mulch kit or dis-
charge chute installed.
TO OPERATE ON HILLS
WARNING
Do
not drive up or down hills with slopes
greater than 10 degrees. And do not drive
across any slopes.
• The slowest speed possible should be
used before starting up or down hills.
• Avoid stopping or changing speed on
hills.
• If stopping is absolutely necessary, pull
drive levers into the neutral position and
push to the outside of the unit and
engage the park brake.
IMPORTANT:
Control levers return to neutral
when released. This may cause a sudden stop
of the mower.
• To restart movement, release the park
brake.
• Pull the control levers back to the center
of the mower and press forward to
regain forward motion.
• Make all turns slowly.
