4.10 REMOVING CLOGGED MATERIAL

3. Cut grass when it is dry and not too tall. Do not cut

 

grass too short (cut off 1/3 or less of existing grass

 

for best appearance). Mow frequently.

ROTATING BLADES

NEVER PUTYOUR HANDS INTO THE DISCHARGE CHUTE FOR ANY REASON! Shut off the engine and remove the key and only then use a stick or similar object to remove material if clogging has occurred.

1.If the discharge chute becomes clogged, shut off the engine and remove the ignition key. Using a stick or similar item, dislodge the clogged material. Then resume normal mowing.

4.11MOVING MOWER WITH ENGINE STOPPED

To “free-wheel” or move the mower around without the engine running, place the dump valve levers in the FREE- WHEEL position (Figure 4-2, Page 11). Disengage the parking brake and move the mower by hand. The dump valves must be returned to the DRIVE position and torqued to 10ft/lbs to drive the mower.

4.Keep mower and discharge chute clean.

5.When mowing wet or tall grass, mow the grass twice. Raise the mower to the highest setting for the first pass and then make a second pass to the desired height.

6.Use a slow travel speed for trimming purposes.

7.Operate the engine at full throttle for best cutting. Mowing with a lower RPM causes the mower to tear the grass. The engine is designed to be operated at full speed.

8.Use the alternate stripe pattern for best lawn appearance. Vary the direction of the stripe each time the grass is mowed to avoid wear patterns in the grass.

4.12 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOWING

1.Do not mow with dull blades. A dull blade will tear grass, resulting in poor lawn appearance, and require extra power.

2.The discharge chute must not be removed and must be kept in the lowest position to deflect grass clippings and thrown objects downward. Direct the side discharge away from sidewalks or streets to minimize cleanup of clippings. When mowing close to obstacles, direct the discharge away from the obstacles to reduce the chance of property damage by thrown objects.

WARNING

DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT DISCHARGE CHUTE, MULCHING KIT, OR ENTIRE GRASS CATCHER INSTALLED
