Using the Side Discharge Attachment
Some models may feature a "side discharge chute" attachment. The side discharge chute ejects the grass
cutting to the side of the mower. When using the side discharge chute, the grass catcher is not required. To
install the side discharge chute attachment:
1. Remove the grass catcher, if installed. Lift up and hold the flap (
A
) on the side of the mower deck.
2. Insert the side discharge chute attachment (
B
) under the flap. Ensure that the protrusions (
C
) on the
underside of the flap enter the slots (
D
) on the top of the side discharge chute, then lower the flap.
To remove the side discharge chute attachment, lift the flap until the chute unhooks from it, then remove the
chute and lower the flap.
Using the Self-Propel Function
Some models may have a self-propelling function (forward
direction only) to make mowing easier. The function is switched
on and off using "drive activation bar" (
A
). When the bar is
released, the drive stops. The speed of the drive is not directly
controllable, however, may vary somewhat with engine speed.
Note
: When the engine is not running, if the drive activation bar is
pulled in, the drive gears will engage which can make it difficult to
move the mower. It is recommended to release the drive
activation bar when changing direction, reversing etc.
To activate the self-propel function, hold the drive activation bar
against the handle (
B
). To deactivate the function, release the bar.
Using the Deck Wash Function
Some models may have a "deck wash" function to help make cleaning
the blades and cutting area (under the deck) easier. Note that the
function is not intended to completely clean the mower – it will remove
some built-up cuttings and dirt from the deck, but more importantly, will
soften it up to make removal by hand easier. Keeping the underside of
the deck clean will prolong the life of the machine and blades. To use the
deck wash function:
1. Install the mulching and side discharge chute attachments and lower
the deck to the lowest cutting height.
2. Attach a garden hose the deck wash port (
A
) and turn the water on.
3. Start the engine and allow it to run at high speed for approximately 30 to 60 seconds – be aware that
water and grass cuttings/dirt will be ejected through the side discharge chute.
4. Stop the engine and turn off the water, then scrape away cuttings/dirt from the deck by hand (wear
gloves) or using a suitable tool. This procedure may have to be repeated several times.
