CUTTING WITH THE MACHINE
1. Put the discharge chute in position or correctly fit a grass collector or mulching plate before starting to cut.
2. Depress the operator present controls.
3. Engage the cutterdeck with PTO switch (Do not engage blades at full throttle. Use engine speed halfway
between idle and full throttle).
4. Increase engine speed to maximum governed RPM.
5. Move the gearshift lever to the required cutting speed. Release the traction locks and gradually engage
both traction control levers together.
6. Operate so that clippings are discharged onto the area that has been cut. This will result in a more even
distribution of clippings and more uniform cutting.
•
When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right so that clippings will be discharged away from
shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After two or three rounds, mow in the opposite direction, left hand turns,
until finished.
•
If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice, the first cut relatively high, the second cut to the de
-
sired height.
•
Use the left side of the mower for trimming.
TO STOP THE MACHINE
1. Pull traction control levers up until brakes engage.
2. Engage the traction locks to parking brake position.
3. Disengage the cutterdeck with PTO switch.
4. Shift transmission to neutral.
5. Close the throttle to slow the engine, turn engine off with the keyswitch.
NOTE: When the machine is transported by truck or trailer or left to stand unused, the fuel valve (under the
fuel tank) should be turned off. This avoids the possibility of flooding should any dirt get under the carburetor
float needle. Leaving the fuel valve open can allow severe flooding which may ruin the engine by diluting the
oil.
