Grass Discharge
WARNING: NEVER operate the mower with
the discharge shield in the raised position.
The mower deck has been designed to provide maximum air
flow for an even discharge of grass clippings. When mowing
tall, or lush grasses, select a lower mower ground speed, or
reduce the width of cut, for the best discharge efficiency.
For the best lawn appearance, do not mow when the grass
is wet or heavy with dew. Wet grass could plug the discharge
area of the mower, create an unnatural load on the blades
and spindles, and damage the mower deck belt. Wet grass
will also leave unsightly clumps on the lawn.
If the mower deck becomes clogged, back the unit out of the
uncut grass. If the mower will not clear itself, raise the deck,
shut off the engine, set the brake, remove the ignition key
and clean the bottom of the deck.
In medium and heavy cutting conditions, mow so the
discharged clippings will be AWAY from the uncut grass. In
light cutting, discharged clippings can be directed onto the
uncut grass, allowing them to be recut finer.
Tips For Efficient
Mowing
CAUTION: Clear the area of people, pets, and
all visible debris before beginning mowing
operations.
Mowing blades should be checked regularly and kept sharp
to ensure the best lawn appearance.
Best results occur normally when the grass is maintained at
a height of 2-3 inches (50-80mm).
It is best to cut the grass
often and not too short. To keep a healthy green lawn, do not
cut more than 1/3 of the overall grass blade height.
Mower engine speed while mowing should be at the
maximum rated RPM. This will ensure proper blade speed
for effective cutting and discharge of grass clippings.
Travel speed greatly affects mowing performance. Always
use a lower ground speed for slower mowing, rather than
lowering the engine RPM.
Mow often. Do not wait for the grass to get too tall. Short
grass clippings will disperse better and deteriorate faster.
Mowing areas with tall grass or weeds may require cutting at
maximum height of cut. After mowing once, recut the entire
area with the mower reset to the desired final height of cut.
PARKING
To park the unit:
1. Bring the steering levers to neutral and then push them
out to the park position.
2. Turn off the PTO, stop the engine, lower the deck to
the ground and remove the ignition key.
IMPORTANT: When parking on any slope, be sure to chock
the wheels on the downhill side to prevent the unit from
sliding.
Moving
the Unit with the Engine
Off
If the mower engine stalls and will not restart, the unit can be
pushed or towed for short distances with the pump bypass
valves open. Do not exceed 5 m.p.h. (8 kph) when towing.
IMPORTANT: The bypass valves must be opened two full
turns (maximum) before the unit is moved (see figure 10).
Be sure the bypass valves are closed before running the
mower again. Failure to fully close the bypass valves before
operation could result in hydraulic system damage.
TOWING
Bypass Valves
Figure 10
WARNING: Exercise care when turning the
mower while towing. The mower will turn more
sharply than the towed object.
IMPORTANT: Attempting to tow more than
200 pounds (90.7 kg) with the Ariens mower
will lead to premature parts failure and void the
warranty.
The mower is designed for towing in light duty applications
only. Do not attempt to tow more than 200 Ibs. (90.7 kg).
Tongue weight is not to exceed 30 Ibs (13.61 kg).
