Page 13

USING THE LIFT LEVER

To raise the cutting deck, move the lift lever to the left, then place it in the notch best suited for your application. Refer to SETTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT earlier in this section.

ENGAGING THE PTO (POWER TAKE-OFF) LEVER

•Move the throttle control lever to the FAST (rabbit) position.

•Move the PTO lever forward into the engaged (ON) position.

•Keep the throttle lever in the FAST (rabbit) position for the most efficient use of the cutting deck and other attachments.

•The operator must remain in the tractor seat at all times. If the operator should leave the seat without moving the PTO lever into the disengaged (OFF) position and setting the parking brake, the engine will shut off.

IMPORTANT: The PTO lever cannot be in the engaged (ON) position when the tractor is driving in the reverse direction. The safety interlock system will automatically shut off the engine if the PTO lever is moved into the engaged (ON) position with the shift lever in the REVERSE position. Refer to SAFETY INTERLOCK SWITCHES earlier in this section.

MOWING

This tractor comes equipped with a cutting deck. The following information will be helpful when using the cutting deck with your tractor.

WARNING: To avoid possible injury, do not allow anyone in the area of the tractor while mowing. Even if the area to be mowed has been cleared of foreign objects, small objects may be picked up and discharged by the mower.

WARNING: Never direct the discharge of material toward bystanders or allow anyone near the machine while in operation.

•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 cut the grass too short. Short grass invites weed growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.

•Mowing should always be done with the engine at full throttle.

•Do not mow at high ground speed, especially if a mulch kit or grass collector is installed.

•Under heavier conditions it may be necessary to go back over the cut area a second time to get a clean cut.

•Do NOT attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds and extremely tall grass. Your tractor is designed to mow lawns, NOT clear brush.

•Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades when worn. Refer to the MAINTENANCE section of this manual for proper blade sharpening instructions.

SECTION 9: ADJUSTMENTS

LEVELING THE DECK

WARNING: Cutting blades are sharp. Always protect hands by wearing heavy leather work gloves to grasp blades.

NOTE: Check the tractor’s tire pressure before performing any deck leveling adjustments. Refer to TIRES in the maintenance section of this manual for further information regarding tire pressure.

Front to Rear

The front of the cutting deck is supported by a stabi- lizer bar that can adjusted to level the deck from front to rear. The front of the deck should be 1/4" to 3/8" lower than the rear of the deck. Adjust if necessary as follows:

WARNING: Turn the tractor’s engine off, remove the key from the ignition switch and apply the tractor’s parking brake before making any adjustments to the cutting deck.

•With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place the lift lever in the top notch (highest position) and rotate the blade nearest the discharge chute so that it is parallel with the tractor.

•Measure the distance from the front of the blade tip to the ground and from the rear of the blade tip to the ground. The first measurement taken should be between 1/4" and 3/8" less than the second measurement.
