Page 18

Engaging the PTO

Engaging the PTO transfers power to the cutting deck or other (separately available) attachments. To engage the PTO:

1.Move the Throttle/Choke control, or Throttle control lever to the FAST (rabbit) position.

2.Push the PTO/Blade Engage lever forward into the engaged (ON) position.

NOTE: Always operate the tractor with the Throttle/Choke control, or Throttle control lever in the FAST (rabbit) position for the most efficient use of the cutting deck or other (separately available) attachments.

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 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 mow at high ground speed, especially if a 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.
