Section 4

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 and any signs of wear. Correct and adjust if necessary.

Danger

To avoid injury from burns, allow the mower to cool before removing the fuel tank cap and refueling.

4.After the mower has cooled down, fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean fuel at the end of every day of operation. See Engine Owner's Manual for proper octane requirements.

5.Check the tire pressure. Adjust pressure if necessary.

4.10 REMOVING CLOGGED MATERIAL

Danger

ROTATING BLADES

NEVER PUTYOUR HANDS INTOTHE DISCHARGE CHUTE FOR ANY REASON!

Shut off the engine and remove the key and only then use a stick or similar object to remove material if clogging has occurred.

1.If the discharge chute becomes clogged, shut off the engine and remove the ignition key. Using a stick or similar item, dislodge the clogged material. Then resume normal mowing.

4.11MOVING MOWER WITH ENGINE STOPPED

To “free-wheel” or move the mower around without the engine running, engage the neutral latches, shift the transmission to neutral and move the mower by hand.

4.12 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOWING

1.Do not mow with dull blades. A dull blade will tear grass, resulting in poor lawn appearance and reduced mowing power.

WARNING

DO NOT operate without Discharge Chute, Mulching Kit, or entire Grass Catcher properly installed.

2.The discharge chute must not be removed and must be kept in the lowest position to deflect grass clippings and thrown objects downward. Direct the side discharge away from sidewalks or streets to minimize cleanup of clippings. When mowing close to obstacles, direct the discharge away from the obstacles to reduce the chance of property damage by thrown objects.

3.Cut grass when it is dry and not too tall. Do not cut grass too short (cut off 1/3 or less of existing grass for best appearance). Mow frequently.

4.Keep mower and discharge chute clean.

5.When mowing wet or tall grass, mow the grass twice. Raise the mower to the highest setting for the first pass and then make a second pass to the desired height.

6.Use a slow travel speed for trimming purposes.

7.Operate the engine at full throttle for best cutting. Mowing with a lower RPM causes the mower to tear the grass. The engine is designed to be operated at full speed.

8.Use the alternate stripe pattern for best lawn appearance. Vary the direction of the stripe each time the grass is mowed to avoid wear patterns in the grass.
