The warning system in this manual identifies potential
hazards and has special safety messages that help you and
others avoid personal injury, even death. DANGER,
WARNING and CAUTION are signal words used to
identify the level of hazard. However, regardless of the
hazard, be extremely careful.
DANGER signals an extreme hazard that will cause
serious injury or death if the recommended precautions
are not followed.
WARNING signals a hazard that may cause serious injury
or death if the recommended precautions are not followed.
CAUTION signals a hazard that may cause minor or
moderate injury if the recommended precautions are not
followed.
Two other words are also used to highlight information.
“Important” calls attention to special mechanical
information and “Note” emphasizes general information
worthy of special attention.
The left and right side of the machine is determined by
sitting on the seat in the normal operator’s position.

3. Secure the chute to the bracket with bolts through the
discharge chute, springs, and brackets. Secure them
with locknuts (Fig. 1).

DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•Without the discharge chute mounted in place,
you and others are exposed to blade contact and
thrown debris.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and
thrown debris will cause injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
•Do not remove the discharge chute from the
mower because the discharge chute routes
material down toward the turf. If the discharge
chute is ever damaged, replace it immediately.
Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
•Do not try to clear the discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the power take off
(PTO) to “OFF” and turn the ignition key to
“STOP.” Also, remove the ignition key and pull
the wire(s) off the spark plug(s).
Mower Belt Routing
1. Route the mower belt as shown in Fig. 2. Be sure to
install the belt on the lower mower pulley.

Installing the Mower
Initial Preparation
The mower must be installed on a level concrete surface.
Rough dirt or lawn surfaces make installation much more
difficult.
1. Place the height–of–cut lever on the mower to the
position for lowest cut (Fig. 3).

5. Set the parking brake, raise the attachment lift, stop
the engine, and remove the ignition key.
