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.
