OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
In order to achieve optimum cutting performance, please read and follow the tips listed below.
Additional information can be found in the troubleshooting guide on Page 35.
Be sure that deflector is properly installed on the
discharge chute.
1. Set engine speed control to the wide open or full setting.
2. Do Not Attempt To Cut Grass When It Is Wet. Wet grass will clog the underside of the deck and
discharge area.
3. If the grass is tall, place the mower deck cut height lever in the top or second notch. "Initially"
overlap cutting swaths instead of a full swath with each pass. Some applications may require a
second cutting.
4. Keep The Underside Of The Mower Deck Clean. Frequent removal of dried grass and dirt will
allow the clippings to discharge correctly.
5. Maintain Sharp Blade(s) Throughout The Cutting Season.
