OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
General Safety
Only qualified people familiar with this operator’s manual
and the mower’s operator’s manual should operate this
machine.
Operation And Tips On Mowing
A. Perform BEFORE EACH USE the maintenance list
referenced in Section IV.
B. Start mower.
C. With the mower at high idle speed, engage the mower
deck.
D. While seated in the operator’s seat, move Bagger
PTO switch to the on position. With the PTO
assembly engaged, you can proceed to operate the
control levers of the mower.
NOTE:
If the collection system does not appear to be
collecting the grass clippings, disengage the deck
and PTO assembly, then, engage the parking brake and
turn the mower off. Check upper and lower hoses for any
clogs.
To obtain the maximum effectiveness from your
collection system, the tips listed below should be
followed:
* Watch your speed- Normal conditions will allow a
speed of up to approximately 4 mph, but thick, heavy
damp conditions will require reduced ground speed.
* Mow with sharp blades- A sharp blade cuts cleaner.
* Wet grass and leaves will decrease effectiveness and
will increase horsepower requirements.
* Mow at higher cutting heights- Remove and mulch no
more than 2” of grass length with each mowing.
(Experts recommend not cutting off more than 1/3 of
the grass blade length at any given time.)
* Mow twice, at different height settings, (high, then low),
if grass is extra tall.
* Remember that horsepower requirements will vary with
the mowing conditions such as type and height of turf
grass, moisture content, amount of leaves, whether the
terrain is flat or hilly, etc.
