ALWAYS: In case of any obstacles, immediately
disengage the blades and lift the mower deck
to the highest level.
IMPORTANT
As soon as the blades strike any solid object,
the shear pins will break. Immediately stop
the engine! Replace the broken shear pins only
with factory original pins. Check to make sure that
all blade mounting bolts are tightened.
MOWING HINTS
1. We advise mowing the lawn in a longitudinal
and cross direction, overlapping previous
cut, which allows the lifting action of the
blades into the cutting path.
2. Forward speed of the lawn tractor must be
controlled in accordance with the type
and height of grass being mowed.
IMPORTANT
The taller the grass that must be cut, the slower
the forward speed should be.
SLOPE OPERATION
* All slopes need extra caution.
* Do not cut grass when slope is more
than 10 degrees (17%).
* Mow slopes riding up and down, never across.
* Avoid sudden changes in direction.
* Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs,
ruts, etc.
WARNING
While travelling downhill - never coast!
When parking, depress the brake pedal
and lock it (Fig. 14, pos. 1 and 2).
OPERATION
CATCHER DISCHARGING (Fig. 22)
WARNING BUZZER WHEN COLLECTOR IS FULL
A micro switch located in the collection system controls this
process and, when the grass collector is full, the micro switch
is mechanically activated and the collector warning buzzer
comes on. In order to avoid clogging the grass collector
disengage the cutting system from ON to OFF position
and the collector warning buzzer will go off. Then reduce the
engine to idle, pull out the telescopic dumping lever all the
way and push it down to empty the grass collector, then
slowly pull the lever upwards to allow the grass collector to
close (grass collector is empty).
NOTE:
A. If the holes on the grass collector bag
are full of grass and are plugged, you must clean
the collector bag by using high pressure water
then leave to dry.
B. From time to time, clean the area of the cover
of the grass collector switch, mainly the bottom
section.
