Knowing the location, function, and operation of these controls is important for safe and efficient opera- tion of the mower.
  • Page 30: Forward Speed Control (Fsc)

    Operating Instructions Forward Speed Control (FSC) Forward Speed Control (FSC) has two functions: One is to set forward travel speed, and the other is to establish the NEUTRAL-PARK position. When the FSC lever is moved into the FORWARD posi- tion, a friction lock holds any forward speed setting from 0 to 5 mph (0 to 8 km/h).
  • Page 31: Transmission Lockout Levers

    Operating Instructions Transmission Lockout Levers The transmission lockout levers disengage the hy- drostatic transmissons. By lifting the lever on top of the transmission and locking it into place with the lockout cam, the hydrostatic transmissions are re- leased to permit freewheeling. By releasing the cam and lowering the lever, the transmissions are en- gaged for normal operation.

Release the key to the RUN position as soon as the engine starts. IMPORTANT: If the engine fails to start after approximately 10 seconds of cranking, the engine should be checked before further crank- ing.
  • Page 37: Adjusting Ground Speed And Steering

    Control setting until familiar with all operat- ing characteristics. Remember it is not necessary to hold the steering levers forward (a unique Walker feature); always PULL on the levers for steering or for reverse motion of the mower. Learn to operate the mower with your left hand on the steering levers and right hand on Forward Speed Control.
  • Page 38: Engaging The Mower

    Operating Instructions Forward Speed Control (FSC) Correct Operator Hand Position on the Controls Reverse direction of the mower by pulling both levers backward. NOTE: Smooth action on the steering levers will produce smooth mower operation. Remem- ber to keep the engine and ground speed slow until learning the control response.

  • Page 40: Transmission Lockout

    Operating Instructions Cutting height is adjusted by positioning the four re- tainer hitch pins in a series of seven vertical holes on the deck support pins. Lift handles have been pro- vided on each end of the deck to assist in raising the deck while positioning the hitch pins.
  • Page 41: Recommendations For Mowing

    Operating Instructions RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOWING IMPORTANT: Operate the engine at full speed when mowing, to allow the engine to produce full horsepower and to increase efficiency of the engine cooling system. Keep the mower deck and discharge chute clean. Mow with sharp blades. A dull blade tears the grass (resulting in poor lawn appearance) and uses extra power (slowing the mowing speed).
  • Page 42: Recommendations For Tilt-Up Deck Operation/Transport

    Operating Instructions RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TILT-UP DECK OPERATION/TRANSPORT To avoid potential deck and/or tractor damage while using the tilt-up deck, the following recommenda- tions are offered: Do not move the tractor with the deck in the tilt- up position since both the roller wheels (on the back of the deck) and the GHS discharge chute may be damaged by moving the tractor.

  • Page 44: General Information

    Operating Instructions General Information The Grass Handling System (GHS) consists of a rear discharge mower deck connected to a 10 in. (25 cm) blower and a rear mounted grass catcher with 7.0 bushel (246 liters) capacity or optional 9.5 bushel (335 liters) capacity. The GHS blower oper- ates any time the mower blade clutch is engaged and moves grass through the rear discharge deck chute into the grass catcher.
  • Page 45: Clogging Checklist

    Operating Instructions Clogging Checklist In case of clogging, there will be a distinct change in the sound of the blower, i.e., the blower sound will stop. Also, the mower deck will begin to leave a trail of grass clippings. When this occurs, stop the engine, disconnect the electrical plug on the fuel shut-off solenoid, and make sure all movement has stopped before attempting to unclog.
  • Page 46: Using The Tilt-Up Deck

    Operating Instructions Check that the openings in the removable air exhaust screen in the grass catcher are not plugged. If the screen is clogged, refer to Cleaning the GHS Exhaust Screen in this section. Remember, anything that restricts airflow or material flow along the entire path from the mower deck to the grass catcher can cause clogging.
