OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

SIDE DISCHARGE OF THE CLIPPINGS:

In order to achieve optimum performance when side discharging the grass clippings, please read
and follow the tips listed below.
Additional information can be found in the troubleshooting guide.
CAUTION
1. Set engine speed control to the wide open or full setting.
2. Do Not Attempt To Cut Grass When It Is Wet. Wet grass will clog the underside of the
deck and discharge area.
3. If the grass is tall, place the mower deck cut height lever in the top or second notch. Initially
overlap cutting swaths instead of a full swath with each pass. Some applications may
require a second cutting.
4. Keep The Underside Of The Mower Deck Clean. Frequent removal of dried grass and dirt
will allow the clippings to discharge correctly.
5. Maintain Sharp Blades Throughout The Cutting Season.
