TREATMENT OF MOWER DECK INSIDE
SKID
[ONLY RCK60R]
A If you wish to avoid the streaking of grass clipping
which remain behind after the grass is cut, removing
the skids will help prevent streaks of grass clippings
from forming.
A Mowing without the skids on a surface that is not
properly flat may result in damage to the mower deck.
Use caution whenever mowing without the skids
attached.
A Mowing without the skids should be done only in
locations that are completely flat.

A Park the machine on a firm and level surface.
A Apply the parking brake.

PREVENTING GRASS CLIPPINGS AND
DUST FROM SCATTERING
[ONLY RCK60R]
A If grass clippings are scattered and adhere to the hood
and surrounding area during mowing, install the
rubber plates onto the mower deck.
Continuous mowing under these conditions may result
in overheating. This machine is equipped with an
overheat warning buzzer as standard.
Even when the rubber plates are installed, clean the
areas around the hood and the transmission at a
minimum once every five hours.
(See "Checking and Cleaning Bonnet Screen to
Prevent Overheating"
"PERIODIC SERVICE" section.)
A Be aware that when mowing with the rubber plates
installed onto the rear of the mower deck, the cut grass
will be left in even clearer lines than usual.
