OPERATION

To operate on hills

To operate on slopes is a dangerous mowing job. Read the Safety Instructions section “Driving on Slopes” on page 9.

WARNING!

Do not drive up or down hills with slopes greater than 10 degrees. And do not drive across any slopes.

The slowest speed possible should be used before starting up or down hills.

Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills.

Make all turns slowly.

Mowing Tips

Observe and mark rocks and other fixed objects in order to avoid collisions.

The cutting deck should be properly leveled for best mowing performance. The blades should be parallel to the ground or slightly tipped down in the front.

Only use sharp blades.

Check tire pressure. Different pressure can cause uneven mowing results.

The left hand side of the deck should be used for trimming.

Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area that has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the mower.

This will result in more even distribution of clippings and a more uniform cut. To avoid clippings spraying on roads etc, mow the first two patterns in opposite direction.

WARNING!

Clear the lawn of stones and other objects that can be thrown out by the blades.
