OPERATION

HOW TO OPERATE WITH THE MOWER HOUSING

WARNING: The deflector is a safety device. Do not re- move the deflector. The deflector forces the dis- charged material toward the ground. Always keep the deflector in the down position. If the deflector is dam- aged, replace the deflector with an original equipment part from an authorized service center.

IMPORTANT: When you operate with the mower housing, always operate with the throttle control in the FAST position.

1.Start the engine.

2.Move the lift lever to a height of cut position. In high or thick grass, cut the grass in the highest position first and then lower the mower housing to a lower position.

CAUTION: Do not operate with the mower housing in the LEVEL ADJUSTMENT position. If you operate in the LEVEL ADJUSTMENT position, the mower housing and blades can be damaged.

3.Move the throttle control to the SLOW position.

4.Slowly move the blade rotation control to the ENGAGE position.

5.Push the clutch/brake pedal completely forward.

6.Move the shift lever to one of the speed settings.

NOTE: When you mow in heavy grass or mow with a bagger, put the shift lever in the slowest speed.

7.Slowly release the clutch/brake pedal.

8.Move the throttle control to the FAST position. If you need to go faster or slower, stop the unit and move the shift lever to another speed setting.

9.Make sure the level of cut is still correct. After you mow a short distance, look at the area that was cut. If the mower housing does not cut level, see the instructions on “How To Level The Mower Housing” in the Maintenance section.

WARNING: For better control of the unit, always select a safe speed.

HOW TO OPERATE THE UNIT ON HILLS

WARNING: Do not ride up or down slopes that are too steep to back straight up. Never ride the unit across a slope. See the “Slope Guide” in the back of this book for information on how to check slopes.

1.Before you ride up or down a hill, move the shift lever to the slowest speed.

2.Do not stop or change speed settings on a hill. If you must stop, quickly push the clutch/brake pedal forward and set the parking brake.

3.To start again, make sure the shift lever is in the slowest speed. Move the throttle control to the SLOW position. Slowly release the pedal.

4.If you must stop or start on a hill, always have enough space for the unit to roll when you release the brake and engage the clutch.

5.Be very careful when you change directions on a hill. When on a slope or in a turn on a hill, move the throttle control to the SLOW position to help prevent an accident.
