Mowing

Keep all bystanders well away from the machine when it is
operating. Always maintain a safe operating distance
between personnel and other equipment.
Carefully walk the entire area to be mowed beforehand.
Look for debris, rocks, tree limbs that could damage or be
thrown by the mower blades. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Use extra caution when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that could obscure vision. Reposition
yourself to avoid these conditions.
Disengage the blades (PTO) when crossing gravel areas or
roadways.

Engaging / Disengaging Blades (PTO)

Ensure engine speed is at low idle when engaging PTO.
Failure to do so will result in premature component failure.
If mowing tall grass, fully raise deck or move to an area with
lower grass before engaging PTO to avoid overloading
clutch.
▪
With the engine at low idle speed, push the PTO on/off toggle
switch forward to engage the PTO.
▪
With the engine at low idle speed, pull the PTO on/off switch
rearward to disengage the PTO.

Cut Height Adjustment

The deck height is fully adjustable from 2.25–8 inches.
▪
Push the deck raise / lower toggle switch on the remote control
forward to raise the deck height. Pull the switch rearward to
lower the deck. The deck can be raised or lowered while the
machine is moving.
▪
Observe the height indicator on the side of the machine.
High grass and weed area inspection
▪
Inspect and remove any hidden large debris.
▪
Mow at an intermediate height.
▪
Inspect and remove remaining debris.
▪
Mow at final height.
NOTE: An audible 'clicking' sound will be heard when the
actuators are at the end of their stops. Release the deck
raise / lower switch.
