OPERATION

COLD WEATHER STARTING (50° F and below)

•When the engine starts, slowly pull the throttle control back until the engine begins to run smoothly. Continue to pull back on the throttle control in small steps allowing the engine to accept small changes in speed and load, until the throttle control is completely in the fast position. If the engine starts to run roughly, press the throttle control back forward to choke the engine for a few seconds. Then continue to pull the throttle control back slowly to the fast position. This may require an engine warm up period from several seconds to several minutes, depending on the temperature.

MOWING TIPS

•The cutting deck should be properly leveled for best mowing performance. See “TO LEVEL DECK” in the Service and Adjustment section of this manual.

•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.

•If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clippings. Make first cut relatively high; second to desired height.

•Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass will plug the deck and leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to dry before mowing.

•Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing to assure better mowing performance and proper discharge of material. Regulate ground speed by going slow enough to allow proper deck cutting performance as well as the quality of cut desired. When operating attachments, select a ground speed that will suit the terrain and give best performance of the attachment being used.
