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.

1.Start the engine.

2.Release the parking brake.

3.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.

4.Move the throttle control to the SLOW position.

5.Move the blade rotation control to the ENGAGE position.

NOTE: When you mow in heavy grass or mow with a grass bagger, use a slow forward speed.

8.Make sure the level of cut set at the factory 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.
