Mowing

Before operating this riding mower you should read and under-

stand the SAFETY INSTRUCTION on pages 4-7.

1 IMPORTANT NOTICE 1

l Be aware of rocks, roots, holes and hidden hazards in the terrain. Un-

seen hazards may cause loss of control or damage the riding mower.

l In tall grass, first mow with the cutter deck fully raised (3 l/2”); this will

help expose any hidden obstacles. When you are sure the area is com-

pletely cleared, re-mow at the desired height.

l If the riding mower should accidentally gets caught by an unseen ob-

ject, (holes, roots, or rocks) do not try to ride over the obstruction or

turn the steering wheel to free the mower. This will damage the steer-

ing mechanism or cutter deck.

l Operating the riding mower near the edge of a ditch or an embankment

could cause the mower to tip or roll-over.

l Avoid sharp turns or sudden stops on sloping surfaces. Avqid backing

down or rapid acceleration on sloping surfaces. Both of which could

cause loss of control.

l Stop the engine before removing the grass bags or cleaning the

discharge chute.

l Empty the grass bags after use to avoid creating a fire hazard when the

riding mower is stored.

Mowing tips

l For good mowing conditions, the grass should not be wet, but the

ground should be damp to control dust.

l If dust is a problem, water the lawn the day before mowing, allowing

the grass to dry while the ground remains moist.

l Always allow the grass to dry before cutting. Cutting wet grass will

cause the cutter deck or the discharge to clog, resulting in poor cut

quality.
