SECTION III
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3-1 General Safety
Only qualified people familiar with this operator’s manual
and the mower’s operator’s manual should operate this
machine.
3-2 Operation & Tips On Mowing
A. Perform BEFORE EACH USE maintenance list in
paragraph 4-1.
B. Start the engine/blower/blade assembly.
B. Start mower.
C. With the mower at high idle speed, engage the mower
deck.
D. Proceed to operate the control levers of the mower.
NOTE: If the collection system does not appear to be
collecting the grass clippings; disengage the deck,
and blower, engage the parking brake and turn the
mower off. Check the upper hose, lower hose, top
screen and boot for clogs.
To obtain the maximum effectiveness from your
collection system the tips listed below should be
followed:
* Watch your speed- Normal conditions will allow a
speed of up to approximately 5 mph, but thick, heavy
damp conditions will require reduced ground speed.
* Mow with sharp blades- A sharp blade cuts cleaner.
* Wet grass and leaves will decrease effectiveness and
will increase horsepower requirements.
* Mow at higher cutting heights- Remove and mulch no
more than 2” of grass length with each mowing.
(Experts recommend not cutting off more than 1/3 of
the grass blade length at any given time.)
* Mow twice, at different height settings, (high, then low),
if grass is extra tall.
* Remember that horsepower requirements will vary with
the mowing conditions such as type and height of turf
grass, moisture content, amount of leaves, whether the
terrain is flat or sloped, etc.
