How to Operate the Mower Deck
WARNING: The deflector is a safety device. Do not remove the deflector. The deflector forces the discharged material toward the ground. Always keep the deflector in the down position. If the deflector is damaged, replace the deflector with an original equipment part from an authorized service center.
1.Start the engine.
2.Release the parking brake.
3.Move the deck lift lever to a height of cut position. In high or thick grass, cut the grass in the highest position first and then lower the mower deck to a lower position.
CAUTION: Do not operate with the mower deck in the LEVEL ADJUSTMENT position. If you operate in the LEVEL ADJUSTMENT position, the mower deck and blades can be damaged.
4.Move the throttle control to the SLOW position.
5.Engage the blades.
6.Move the throttle control to the FAST position.
7.Slowly push the speed control pedal to the desired speed.
NOTE: When you mow in heavy grass or mow with a grass bagger, use a slow forward speed.
8.Make sure the level of cut set at the factory is still correct. After you mow a short distance, look at the area that was cut. If the mower deck does not cut level, see the instructions on “How To Level The Mower Deck” in the Maintenance section.
WARNING: For better control of the unit, always select a safe speed.
Reverse Mowing Option (RMO)
WARNING: Mowing in reverse can be hazardous to bystanders. Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Never activate RMO if children are present. Children are often attracted to the unit and the mowing activity.
1.Engage the blades.
2.Insert the supplied key into the RMO switch, located to the right of the steering wheel bellows (Figure 16).
3.Turn the key. The L.E.D. light will illuminate, indicating thet the RMO feature has been activated. The mower deck can now be operated while the unit is traveling in reverse.
4.The reverse mowing option is deactivated when the blades are disengaged, and must be reactivated each time the blades are engaged, if desired.
5.Remove the key to restrict access to the RMO feature.
WARNING: The engine will shut off if the speed control pedal is moved into reverse while the blades are engaged and the RMO is not activated.
