4.10HOPPER, MULCH or SIDE DISCHARGE OPERATION

When mowing with the cutting deck setup for rear discharge into the hopper, the blower belt must be installed. A control lever located on the left side of the tractor (Figure 4-8) will release tension on the idler pulley to allow the belt to be installed (grass catching operation) or removed (mulching or side discharge operations). The cutter deck must also be adapted to the type of cutting that the operator is attempting to perform.

4.8 PARKING THE MOWER

1.Place the speed control in the neutral position.

2.Slow the engine to idle speed.

3.Engage the parking brake.

4.Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove the key.

4.9 AFTER OPERATION

1.Wash the entire mower after each use. Do not use high pressure spray or direct the spray onto electrical components.

-IMPORTANT-

Do not wash a hot or running engine. Cold water will damage the engine. Use compressed air to clean the engine if it is hot.

2.Keep the entire mower clean to inhibit serious heat damage to the engine or hydraulic oil circuit.

3.Check the drive belts for proper alignment, correct if necessary. Remove any debris build up.
