Operating Tips

Mowing Techniques
• To begin cutting, engage the cutting units, then approach the mowing area slowly. Once
the front cutting units are over the mowing area, lower the cutting units.
• To achieve the professional straight-line cut and striping that is desirable for some
applications, find a tree or other object in the distance and drive straight toward it.
• As soon as the front cutting units reach the edge of the mowing area, lift the cutting units
and perform a tear drop shaped turn to quickly line you up for your next pass.
• To mow around bunkers, ponds, or other contours easily, use the Sidewinder and move
the control lever left or right, depending on your mowing application. You can also shift
the cutting units to vary tire tracking.
• The cutting units tend to throw grass to the front or the rear of the machine. Front throw
grass clippings when cutting smaller amounts of grass, which produces better after-cut
appearance. To throw clippings to the front, simply close the rear shield on the cutting
units.
Opening or closing the cutting unit shields while the engine is running could result in
minor or moderate injury.
Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop before opening or closing the
cutting unit shields.
• When cutting larger amounts of grass, position the shields to just below horizontal. Do
not open the shields too far or an excessive amount of clippings could build up on
the frame, rear radiator screen, and engine area.
• The cutting units are also equipped with balance weights on the non-motor end to give
an even cut. You can add or remove weights if a mismatch occurs on your turf.
