OPERATION
WARNING!
Clear the lawn of stones and
other objects that can be thrown
out by the blades.
WARNING!
Never drive the rider on terrain
that slopes more than 10 degrees.
Mow slopes up and down, never
side to side. Avoid sudden
directional changes.
Mowing Tips
• Observe and ag rocks and other xed
objects to avoid collisions.
• Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it
until the desired mowing result is attained.
The average lawn should be cut to 2½"
(64 mm) during the cool season and over 3"
(76 mm) during the hot months. For healthier
and better looking lawns, mow often after
moderate growth.
For best cutting performance, grass over 6"
(15 cm) in height should be mowed twice.
Make the rst cut relatively high; the second
to the desired height.
• The mowing result will be best with a high
engine speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and
low speed (the rider moves slowly). If the
grass is not too long and dense, the driving
speed can be increased without negatively
affecting the mowing result.
• The nest lawns are obtained by mowing
often. The lawn becomes more even and the
grass clippings more evenly distributed over
the mown area. The total time taken is not
increased as a higher operating speed can
be used without poor mowing results.
• Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result
is poorer because the wheels sink into
the soft lawn, clumps build, and the grass
clippings fasten under the cowling.
• Hose the mower deck underside with water
after each use. When cleaning, the mower
deck shall be raised into the transport
position. Make sure the mower is cooled and
the engine is off.
• Use compressed air to clean top surface
of the deck. Avoid ooding water on top
surface, engine and electrical components.
• When the mulching kit is used, it is important
that the mowing interval is frequent.
