-NOTE-

When the PTO is engaged or (possibly) disen- gaged, a squealing sound from the underside of the machine is normal. It is caused by the electric clutch plates meshing as the cutter blades come up to speed. For best equipment life, engage the clutch with the engine at 1/2 throttle, not under full load.
