OPERATION
TO OPERATE
MOWER
Your mower is equipped
with an operator
presence
system.
When the engine
is running,
any attempt
by the operator
to leave the seat
without
first setting the park brake will shut off
the engine.
Select desired
height of cut.
Start deck blades by pulling the PTO
switch up into the engaged
position.
To stop the deck blades,
press down on
the PTO Switch
into the disengaged
position.
MOWING
TIPS
The cutting deck should be properly
leveled
for best mowing performance.
See "TO LEVEL DECK"
in the Service
and Adjustment
section
of this manual.
The left hand side of the deck should be
used for trimming.
Drive so that clippings
are discharged
onto the area that has been cut.
Have
the cut area to the right of the mower.
This will result in more even distribution
of clippings
and a more uniform cut.
If grass is extremely
tall, it should
be
mowed twice to reduce
load and possible
fire hazard from dried clippings.
Make
first cut relatively
high; second to desired
height.
Do not mow grass when it is wet.
Wet
grass will plug the deck and leave
undesirable
clumps.
Allow grass to dry
before
mowing.
Always
operate
engine
at full throttle
when mowing
to assure
better mowing
performance
and proper discharge of
material.
Regulate ground speed by
going slow enough to allow proper deck
cutting performance
as well as the
quality of cut desired.
When operating
attachments,
select a ground speed that
will suit the terrain and give best
performance
of the attachment
being
used.
