Wet grass has a tendency to build up under the
deck. Periodic checking should be done by the
operator to determine if the deck should be cleaned.
The deck should also be checked anytime mowing
performance seems to be reduced.
Mulching procedures may vary greatly due to cli-
mate, type of grass, and soil conditions. It is gener-
ally best to mow frequently and in dry conditions.
Leaves are usually mulched and dispersed better
when some grass is cut with the leaves.
Transport of Mower
Transport the mower deck with the power unit front
hitch and mower fully raised to reduce wear of the
equipment. Travel slowly when transporting over
undulating and rough surfaces to maintain control
of power unit and to reduce the shock to the power
unit and mower deck. Always disengage the power
unit PTO before transporting the mower.
Cutting Height Adjustment
Always shut off the engine, remove the ignition
key, and set the parking brake before checking
mower deck or blade condition, or attempting
any repair or adjustment.
1.
Lift the height adjustment handle upward and
hook the lock pin into the notch (A) on the height
