Section 2: Operating Procedures

!DANGER

Prior to operating the mower the operator should be thoroughly familiar with the proper use and operation of the equipment, should read the manual completely and thoroughly, and should have attempted slow moving maneuvers to become familiar with the operation of the equipment before attempting normal speed operation. An inexperienced operator should not mow on slopes or on uneven terrain.

!WARNING

Do not operate the mower while wearing any type of loose fitting clothing. Always wear safety glasses, clothing that does not hang loosely, and shoes or boots when operating this machine.

!WARNING

The tailpipe and muffler are very hot and can ignite dry grasses, brush and other flammable materials. Always keep the area around the muffler and tailpipe clear of debris. Allow the muffler and tail pipe to cool completely before removing any debris to prevent sever burns to the body.

!WARNING

Never direct discharge of material from mower deck towards bystanders.

!WARNING

Never operate the mower deck with discharge chute removed or in raised position.

!WARNING

Always check area to be mowed for rocks and other debris before mowing.

The mower’s control levers are very responsive. For smooth operation, move levers slowly, avoid sudden movement. Skill and ease of operation come with practice and experience.

Inexperienced operators may have a tendency to over-steer and lose control. Slow-moving practice maneuvers are recommended to become familiar with these characteristics before attempting normal speed operation.

Sharp depressions or raised obstacles (such as gutters or curbs) should not be directly approached at high speed in an attempt to jump them as the operator could be thrown from the mower. Approach at a slow speed and angle one drive wheel at the obstruction. Continue at an angle until both wheels clear the obstruction.

When turning on soft wet turf, keep both wheels rolling either forward or backward. Pivoting on one stopped wheel can damage turf.

Peak mowing performance is maintained when the throttle is set at full rpm. This gives maximum power to the drive wheels and deck when needed. Use the control levers to control ground speed rather than engine rpm.

Keep blades sharp. Many problems with incorrect cutting patterns are due to dull blades or blades which have been sharpened incorrectly. Information on sharpening blades is listed in this manual’s maintenance section. In addition, most communities have individuals or companies which specialize in sharpening mower blades. Blade sharpness should be checked daily.

Use high blade speed. Your Razor is designed to operate at full throttle. The throttle setting directly controls blade speed. The highest blade speed generally gives the best cut.

Select a mowing pattern that discharges cut grass away from uncut grass. Generally, this means using a pattern utilizing left turns because the mower discharges cut grass is to the right. Refer to Figure 2-10.In any case, avoid discharging cut grass onto an unmowed area because grass is then mowed twice. Mowing twice puts an unnecessary load on the mower and reduces mowing efficiency.
