OPERATION

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 11)

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly off the ground when mower is at the desired cutting height in operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck in proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions.

NOTE:Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level surface.

•Adjust mower to desired cutting height. (See “TO AD- JUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT” in the Operation section of this manual.)

•With mower in desired height of cut position, gauge wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off the ground. Install gauge wheel in appropriate hole as shown and tighten securely.

• Repeat for opposite side installing gauge wheel in same

adjustment hole.

TO OPERATE MOWER

Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sens- ing switch. While engine is running, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat without first setting the parking brake will shut off the engine. You must remain fully and centrally positioned in the seat to prevent the engine from hesitating or cutting off when operating your equipment on rough, rolling terrain or hills.

•Select desired height of cut. (See "TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT".)

•Start mower blades by engaging attachment clutch control.

TO STOP MOWER BLADES

Disengage attachment clutch control.

CAUTION:Donotoperatethe mowerwithout either the entire grass catcher, on mowers so equipped, or the deflector chute in place (See Fig. 12).

REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS) (See Fig. 13)

Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse Operation System (ROS). Any attempt by the operator to mow in the reverse direction without first pressing the ROS button (G) will stop mower blades. Ensure the transmission is in the neutral position, move the attachment clutch control to the disen- gaged position, and then back into the engaged position before continuing with ROS operation.

WARNING: Backing up with the attachment clutch en- gaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Allowing re- verse operation with the attachment clutch engaged should only be done when the operator decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the attachment engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

USING THE REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM -

Only use if you are certain no children or other bystanders will enter the mowing area.

•With engine running, depress brake pedal all the way down.

•Press ROS button (G) and ensure the ROS button is lit.

•Look down and behind before and while backing.

•Release brake pedal and depress reverse drive pedal to start movement.

•When use of the ROS is no longer needed, press the ROS button to return to normal operation. The ROS button should no longer be lit.
