Mowing
WARNING! To help avoid blade contact or a
thrown object injury, keep bystanders, helpers,
children and pets at least 75 feet from the machine
while it is in operation. Stop the machine if anyone
enters the area.
The following information will be helpful when using the cutting
deck with your tractor.
WARNING! Plan your mowing pattern to avoid
discharge of materials toward roads, sidewalks,
bystanders and the like. Also, avoid discharging
-- material against a wall or obstruction which may
cause discharged material to ricochet back toward
the operator.
Do not mowat high ground speed, especially ira mulch kit
or grass collector is installed.
Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass is prone to weed
growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.
Always operate the tractor with the throttle lever in the
FAST (rabbit) position while mowing.
For best results it is recommended that the first two laps be
cut with the discharge thrown towards the center. After the
first two laps, reverse the direction to throw the discharge
to the outside for the balance of cutting. This will give a
better appearance to the lawn.
Do NOT attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds or
extremely tall grass. Your tractor is designed to mow lawns,
NOT clear brush.
Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades when worn.
