WARNING: To avoid possi-
ble injury, do not allow anyone
in the area opposite the dis-
charge chute while mowing.
Although the area has been
supposedly cleared of foreign
objects, small objects may be
picked up and discharged by
the mower.
WARNING: Never direct
the discharge of material
toward bystanders or allow
anyone near the machine
while in operation.
For best results it is recommended
that the first two laps should be cut
with the discharge thrown towards the
center. After the first two laps, reverse
the direction to throw the discharge to
the outside for the balance of cutting.
This will give a better appearance to
the lawn.
Do not cut the grass too short, as the
mower will tend to scalp the grass.
Short grass invites weed growth and
yellows quickly in dry weather.
Mowing should be done with the
engine at full throttle. Do not mow at
high ground speed.
During certain times of the year and
under some conditions, the mower
may leave streaks of uncut grass.
Streaking may occur when attempting
to mow heavy weeds and tall grass.
Under these conditions it may be
necessary to go back over the cut
area a second time to get a clean cut.
The following practices will help
eliminate streaking:
• Mow the area more often so the
grass doesn’t get too tall and heavy.
• Operate the tractor at full throttle
and slower forward speeds.
• Keep the blades sharp and replace
the blades when worn.

WARNING: Do not adjust
the seat when the tractor is
moving. Adjusting the seat
while the tractor is moving
could cause the operator to

To allow for the comfort of the
operator, an easy to operate adjustable
seat is a feature of this tractor. To
adjust the seat forward or back, slide
the seat adjustment lever to the left
and reposition the seat to the desired
location. Once you have found a
comfortable position, release the seat
adjustment lever. See Figure 12.
