Mowing
_WARNING: To help avoid blade contact or a
thrown object injury, keep bystanders, helpers,
children and pets at least 75 feet from the
machine while it isin operation. Stop machine if
anyone enters the area.
The following information wilt be helpful when using the
cutting deck with your tractor.
_ WARNING: Plan your mowing pattern to
avoid discharge of materials toward roads,
sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also, avoid
discharging material against a wall or
obstruction which may cause discharged
material to ricochet back toward the operator.
Do not mow at high ground speed, especially if a
mulch kit or grass collector is installed.
For best results it is recommended that the first two
laps be cut with the discharge thrown towards the
center. After the first two laps, reverse the direction
to throw the discharge to the outside for the
balance of cutting. This will give a better
appearance to the lawn.
Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass invites
weed growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.
Mowing should always be done with the engine at
full throttle.
In heavier conditions, it may be better to go back
over the cut area a second time to get a clean cut.
Do not attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds and
extremely tall grass. Your tractor is designed to
mow lawns, not clear brush.
Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades
when worn. Refer to CuttingBladeson page 22 of this
manual for proper blade sharpening instructions.
