ALTERNATIVE STOPPING METHOD

Bring vehicle to complete stop, shut off engine, and set parking brake.

Disengage blade engage lever (6008).

Manually shut toggle and key switches to their “OFF” positions.

Always remember to remove keys to avoid irresponsible usage.

TRANSPORTING MOWER

Stop mower properly.

Place mower deck in its highest position.

If transporting unattached from tow vehicle, then remove spark plug wire and place where it cannot contact the spark plug.

SUGGESTED MOWING PRACTICES

Operate mower engine at full throttle to assure the best cutting performance and maximum material discharge.

Allow wet grass to dry. Clumps of wet grass will collect under the mowing deck.

Mowing should be started with tow vehicle in low gear and increased only as safe mowing conditions permit. This speed should not exceed 5 MPH.

The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2.5” during the cool season and to over 3” during the hot months.

For a healthier lawn and better aesthetics, your lawn should be mowed often and after moderate growth.

When cutting high or dense grass areas go slowly. Some areas may need to be mowed twice. The second cut should be at 90 degrees to the first, if possible.

Mowing thick or high grass. Raise rear height crank handles to .5”-.75” above the other two handles.

Creating a manicured lawn. Lower rear height crank handle to .25”-.5” below front of deck. This allows grass blades to be cut twice. It also continually cuts clippings to produce a mulching effect.

GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING

The mower is not cutting level.

oLevel deck, making sure the side crank-handles are equal.

oCheck air pressure of all tires; make sure they are equal (about 15-18 psi).

oExamine blades for damage, while mower engine is not running.

The engine will not start.

oDisengage blades, turn toggle switch to “ON” position, check battery and all other electrical connections, and inspect spark plug and wire.

oCheck for fuel in the engine.

Engine runs poorly.

oSee engine manual.

oCheck throttle adjuster.

oReplace fuel, clean fuel filter and fuel line.

IF PROBLEMS PERSIST HAVE A QUALIFIED MECHANIC SERVICE THE MOWER. NEVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT THAT YOU ARE NOT SURE IS CORRECT. DOING SO CAN CAUSE OTHER PROBLEMS.
