OPERATION
• Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills.
• If stopping is necessary, pull drive levers into
the neutral position and push outward. Engage
the park brake.
• To restart movement, release the park brake.
• Pull the control levers back to the center of
the mower and push forward to regain forward
motion.
• Make all turns slowly.
WARNING! Do not drive the rider on
terrain that slopes more than 10 degrees. Mow
slopes up and down, never side to side. Avoid
sudden directional changes.
Mowing Tips
• Observe and flag rocks and other fixed objects
to avoid collisions.
• Begin with a high cutting height and reduce
it until the desired mowing result is attained.
Cut the average lawn to 6.35 cm during the
cool season and over 7.62 cm during the hot
months. For healthier and better looking lawns,
mow frequently after moderate growth.
• For best cutting performance, mow grass over
15.24 cm in height twice. Make the first cut
relatively high; the second to the desired height.
• The mowing result will be best with a high
engine speed (the blades turn rapidly) and low
speed (the rider moves slowly). If the grass is
not too long and dense, the driving speed can
be increased without negatively affecting the
mowing result.
• The finest lawns are obtained by mowing
frequently. 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 frequent.
To make a three-point turn
A correct turn will prevent damage to the lawn.
The goal is to turn as you move forward or
rearward. Do not turn in a tight circle on a stopped
wheel.
1. After you cut a row, make a slight turn toward
the uncut area of grass (A).
2. Pull back on the levers to stop and reverse (B).
3. After you complete the turn, pull harder on the
lever that faces the previously cut area (B).
4. Push forward on both control levers to cut the
next row (C).
Moving Machine By Hand
When pushing or pulling the mower, engage the
bypass levers. The bypass levers are located at
the front of each transmission.
1. Lower the deck if needed.
2. Move the steering controls inward out of the
park brake position.
3. Lift the seat.
4. Rotate each bypass lever to the horizontal
position.
5. Lower the seat.
6. Push the mower using the sturdy feature of
the mower's structure. Do not push the mower
with the control levers.
