again two days later at a lower cutting height.
Raise the cutting height of the mower if the cutting
width of the mower is wider than the previous mower. This
ensures that uneven turf is not cut too short.
Raise the cutting height of the mower if the grass if
slightly taller than normal or if it contains a high degree of
moisture. Then mow it again with the cutting height set
lower.
If the machine’s forward motion must be stopped while
mowing, a clump of grass clippings may drop onto your
lawn. To avoid this, move onto a previously cut area with
the blades engaged.
WARNING: Never direct discharge of material
from mower deck towards bystanders.
WARNING: Never operate the mower deck
with discharge chute removed or in raised
position.
WARNING: Always check area to be mown for
rocks and other debris before mowing.
Mower deck operation
DANGER: Never attempt to make any
adjustments to the mower deck while the engine
is running or with the deck drive clutch engaged.
Mower blades cannot be seen and are located
very close to deck housing. Fingers and toes can
be cut off instantly.
With the engine running, engage the deck clutch switch
(Fig. 3-2) and advance engine throttle to full rpm.
NOTE: Engaging the deck clutch at high engine rpm or
when under heavy load (in tall grass for example) can cause
belts and/or electric clutch to slip, resulting in premature
wear or possible damage.
