OPERATION

ATTACHMENTS

This unit can use many different attachments. See the attachment page in this book. This unit can pull attachments like a lawn sweeper, a lawn aerator, a hopper spreader or a small trailer. This unit can not use attachments that engage the ground like a plow, a disk harrow, or a cultivator.

For all pull–behind attachments or trailers, the maximum gross weight is 250 pounds. Gross weight is the weight of the attachment or trailer and any load that might be on or in it.

Do not operate on a slope that is greater than 10 degrees when using a pull–behind attachment or trailer. We have included a slope guide in this book to help you determine the slope on which you will be operating your unit. Never allow someone to stand or ride on or in an attachment or trailer.

HOW TO USE THE THROTTLE CONTROL

Use the throttle control to increase or decrease the speed of the engine.

CAUTION: Always operate the engine with the throttle control in the FAST position. If the engine runs for several minutes at slower than the FAST position, the engine and transmission will overheat and can be damaged.

1.The FAST position is marked with a detent. For normal opera- tion and when using a grass bagger, move the throttle control to the FAST position. For maximum charging of the battery and for a cooler running engine and transmission, operate the en- gine in the FAST position.

2.For transport and to tow pull behind attachments, control the ground speed with the speed control pedal.

3.The engine governor is set at the factory for maximum perform- ance. Do not adjust the governor to increase the speed of the engine.

HOW TO USE THE BLADE ROTATION CONTROL

The blade rotation control is next to the steering wheel (Figure 6). Use the blade rotation control to engage the blade(s) or to operate a snow thrower attachment.

1.Before you start the engine, make sure the blade rotation con- trol is in the DISENGAGE position.

2.Move the blade rotation control to the ENGAGE position to rotate the blade(s).

Note: If the engine stops when you engage the blade(s), the seat switch is not activated. Make sure you sit in the middle of the seat. Also, make sure the wire is connected to the seat switch.

3.Move the blade rotation control to the DISENGAGE position to stop the blade(s). Before you leave the operator’s position, make sure the blade(s) has stopped rotating.

4.Before you ride the unit across a sidewalk or a road, move the blade rotation control to the DISENGAGE position.

WARNING: Always keep your hands and feet away from the blade, deflector opening, and the mower housing when the engine runs.
