4.11Moving Mower With Engine Stopped

1.To “free-wheel” or move the mower around without the engine running, rotate the dump valve levers counter-clockwise open. See Figure 4-4. Disengage the parking brake and move the mower by hand. When the machine is in the desired position, engage the parking brake and rotate the levers clockwise until they stop (closed). The dump valve levers must be returned to the CLOSED position and torqued to 10 lb-ft to drive the mower.

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.

4.13 Adjusting Cutting Height

The mower deck can be adjusted from a height of 1-1/2 inches to 5-1/2 inches at 1/4-inch intervals. To adjust the cutting height:

WARNING

DO NOT adjust the cutting height with the mower blades rotating. Disengage the power to the cutter blades and then adjust cutting height.

1.Disengage the power to the cutter blades.

2.Push the cutting height adjustment foot pedal all the way forward using your right foot until it locks in place. See Figure 4-5.
