Operating Instructions
Mowing
1. The Ultra Vac QDS blower operates when deck
drive is engaged. Be sure that all persons are clear
of the mower deck before engaging the cutting
blades. Set the throttle to "midway" position. Pull
outward on the PTO switch to the "ROTATE"
position. Accelerate to full throttle to begin
mowing.
2. To disengage the PTO and blower, set the
throttle to "midway" position. Push in on the
PTO switch to the "STOP" position to stop the
cutting blades and blower. The cutting blades will
require a slightly longer amount of time to come
to a complete stop when the blower is installed
on the deck. Verify that all rotation indicators
have stopped before clearing blower assembly or
mower deck
3. To empty the hopper, first shut off deck drive.
Lift up on the handle to open the door and empty
the hopper. If the unit is to be driven onto a truck
or trailer with the hopper full, always back the
unit up the ramp. This will reduce the chance of
rearward tip up. See the Transporting section
for additional information regarding loading a
unit on a truck or trailer.
4. Close and latch the door before continuing
mowing. Do Not engage the cutting blades while
the door is in the open position.
