OPERATION
speed can be increased without negatively
affecting the mowing result.
• The finest lawns are obtained by mowing
often. The lawn becomes more even and the
grass clippings more evenly distributed over
the mown area. The total time taken is not
increased as a higher operating speed can be
used without poor mowing results.
• When mowing large areas, start by turning to
the right so that clippings will discharge away
from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After one
or two rounds, mow in the opposite direction
making left hand turns until finished.
• Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result
is poorer because the wheels sink into the soft
lawn, clumps build, and grass clippings fasten
under the cowling.
• Hose the mower deck underside with water
after each use. When cleaning, the mower deck
shall be raised into the transport position. Make
sure the mower is cooled and the engine is off.
• Use compressed air to clean top surface of
the deck. Avoid flooding water on top surface,
engine and electrical components.
• When the mulching kit is used, it is important
that the mowing interval is more frequent.
WARNING! Do not make adjustments
unless:
• the engine is stopped,
• the park brake is engaged
• the ignition key is removed,
Moving Machine By Hand

engine not running, engage the hydraulic release
lever.

CAUTION! With the hydraulic release
engaged, the mower will have unrestricted
motion if the parking brake is not engaged. Do
not use the release lever if the mower is not on
a level surface.
Access the lever on the left side of the unit. Set
the deck to the lowest position when engaging the
bypass linkage. To engage, slide the lever out.
Load the machine into truck or trailer by driving up
ramps in low gear. DO NOT LIFT! The machine is
not intended to be lifted by hand.
WARNING! Use extreme caution when
loading the machine into a truck or trailer using
ramps. There is the possibility of serious injury
or death if the machine falls off the ramps.
Tracking - Speed
1. Pull the retaining clip out of the vertical control
rod.
2. Adjust the nylon coupler until the desired
speed is achieved. When the unit tracks
straight and is at appropriate maximum
forward speed, reinsert the retaining clip to
lock the coupler in place.
