5. Mowing Tips
NOTE: TIRE CHAINS CANNOT BE USED WITH THE
MOWER HOUSING ATTACHED
READ THE "SAFETY RULES" CAREFULLY I
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR MOWER.
I
REFER TO PAGE 2.
a. Use the runner on the R.H. side as a guide; the
blade cuts approximately an inch outside the run-
ner (Fig. 17).
b. Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the
area that has been cut. Have the cut area to the
right of the machine. This will result in a more
even distribution of clippings and more uniform
cutting.
c. When mowing large areas (Fig. 18), start by tur-
ning to the right so that the clippings will be
discharged away from shrubs, fences, driveways,
etc. After two or three rounds, mow in the op-
posite direction making left hand turns until
finished.
d. If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed
twice. The first time cut relatively high. The se-
cond time to the desired height.
e. The left hand side of mower should be used for
trimming.
5. Operating The Tractor On Hills
a. Choose the lowest gear BEFORE starting up or
down hills.
DO NOT DRIVE UP OR DOWN HILLS WITH
SLOPES GREATER THAN 15 ° AND DO
NOT DRIVE ACROSS ANY SLOPE, REFER
TO PAGE 51.
b. Avoid stopping or shifting on hills.
c . If slowing is necessary, move throttle control lever
to middle position.
LEAVE ENOUGH ROOM WHEN STOPPING
AND STARTING TO ALLOW SLIGHT TRAC-
TOR ROLL DOWNHILL AS CLUTCH/BRAKE
PEDAL MOVES THROUGH CLUTCH
POSITION.
d. If stopping is absolutely necessary, push
clutch/brake pedal quickly to brake position and
engage parking brake.
