Yard-Man 131704F Extension, Grasscollectoravailable, ~~ r~wl~rr~, Control Lever, Loosen, Pintle

To stop the lawn tractor, pull the hydrostatic control lever into NEUTRAL (N) or depress the clutch-brake pedal.

Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects which could damage lawn tractor or engine. For best results and to insure more even grass distribution, do not mow when lawn is excessively wet.

A	WARNING:		Before	leaving	the operator's
	position	for	any	reason,	disengage	the

blades, place the hydrostatic control lever in neutral, engage the parking brake, shut engine off and remove the key.

When stopping the unit to empty a grass bag, etc., follow the instructions above. This procedure will also eliminate "browning" the grass, which is caused by hot exhaust gases from a running engine.
