Caution
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the machine while it is
unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and set the
parking brake when leaving the machine
unattended, even if just for a few minutes.
Transporting Machines
Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the machine.
Ensure that the trailer or truck has all necessary lighting
and marking as required by law. Please carefully read all
the safety instructions. Knowing this information could
help you, your family, pets or bystanders avoid injury.
To transport the machine:
Stop engine, remove key, lock brake, shut –off fuel
valve and block wheels.
Securely fasten the machine to the trailer or truck with
straps, chains, cable, or ropes.
Secure a trailer to towing vehicle with safety chains.
Side Discharge or Mulch Grass
This mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
Danger
Without the grass deflector, discharge cover, or
complete grass catcher assembly mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade contact
and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower
blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or
death.
Never remove the grass deflector from the
mower because the grass deflector routes
material down toward the turf. If the grass
deflector is ever damaged, replace it
immediately.
Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
Never try to clear discharge area or mower
blades unless you release the bail and the power
take off (PTO) is off. Rotate the ignition key to
off. Also remove the key and pull the wire off
the spark plug(s).
Adjusting the Height-of-Cut
The height-of-cut can be adjusted from
1 to 4-1/2 inch (25 to 114 mm) in 1/4 inch (6 mm)
increments. Adjustment is done by relocating four hairpin
cotter pins in different hole location and by adding or
removing spacers.
Note: All height–of–cut pins need at least one spacer or
damage can occur to bushing if none are used.
Note: All height–of–cut pins can use only two spacers
maximum.
1. Select hole in height-of-cut post and number of spacers
corresponding to the height-of-cut desired (Fig. 19).
2. Using lift handle,raise side of deck and remove hairpin
cotter (Fig. 19).
3. Add or remove spacers if needed and then align holes
and insert hairpin cotter (Fig. 19).
Note: Spare height–of–cut spacers may be stored on posts
and retained by a hairpin cotter.
Important
All four hairpin cotter pins must be in the
same hole location and with the correct number of spacers
for a level cut.
