SUGGESTED MOWING PRACTICES

•Operate mower engine at full throttle to assure the best cutting performance and maximum material discharge.

•Allow wet grass to dry. Wet grass will clump and collect under the mowing deck.

•Mowing should be started with tow vehicle in low gear and increased only as safe mowing conditions permit. Mowing speed should not exceed 5 MPH.

•The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2.5” during the cool season and to over 3” during the hot months.

•For a healthier lawn and better aesthetics, your lawn should be mowed often and after moderate growth.

•When cutting high or dense grass areas go slowly. Some areas may need to be mowed twice. The second cut should be at 90 degrees to the first, if possible.

•Mowing thick or high grass: Raise rear of deck to ½” to ¾” above front of the deck. See “FRONT TO BACK ADJUSTMENT”. When mowing thick or high grass, it is recommended to cut area twice. The first at a higher setting and the second at the desired lawn height.

•Creating a manicured lawn: Never cut more than 1/3 of the grass height in one cutting.

GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING

The mower is not cutting level.

•Check air pressure of all tires; make sure they are equal. See tires for maximum inflation.

•Make certain blades are installed identical, without the engine running. The engine will not start.

•Disengage blades, turn toggle switch to “OFF” position, check battery and all other electrical connections, and inspect spark plug and wire (FIGURE THREE).

•Contact engine manufacturer or qualified mechanic.

Engine runs poorly.

•See engine manual.

•Check the throttle adjuster.

•Replace fuel, clean fuel filter and fuel line.

•Check spark plug and gap.

Mower bounces excessively while towing.

•Lower tire pressure.

•Tow at a slower speed.

IF PROBLEMS PERSIST HAVE A QUALIFIED MECHANIC SERVICE THE

MOWER. NEVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT THAT YOU

ARE NOT SURE IS CORRECT. DOING SO CAN CAUSE OTHER

PROBLEMS.
