OPERATION
16F 050758L
ATTACHMENTS
This unit can use many different attachments. See the attachment
page in this book. This unit can pull attachments like a lawn
sweeper, a lawn aerator, a hopper spreader or a small trailer. This
unit can not use attachments that engage the ground like a plow, a
disk harrow, or a cultivator.
For trailer and pull behind attachments or trailers, the maximum
gross weight is 250 pounds. Gross weight is the weight of the
attachment or trailer and any load that might be on or in it.
Do not operate on a slope that is greater than 10 degrees when
using a pull behind attachment or trailer. We have included a slope
guide in this book to help you determine the slope on which you will
be operating your unit. Never allow someone to stand or ride on or
in an attachment or trailer.
HOW TO USE THE THROTTLE CONTROL
Use the throttle control to increase or decrease the speed of the
engine.
1. The FAST position is marked with a detent. For normal opera-
tion and when using a grass bagger, move the throttle control
to the FAST position. For maximum charging of the battery and
for a cooler running engine, operate the engine in the FAST
position.
2. The engine governor is set at the factory for maximum perform-
ance. Do not adjust the governor to increase the speed of the
engine.
