How to Operate with the Mower Housing
WARNING: The deflector is a safety device. Do not
remove the deflector. The deflector forces the
discharged material toward the ground. Always
keep the deflector in the down position. If the
deflector is damaged, replace the deflector with an
original equipment part from an authorized service
center.
1. Start the engine.
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Move the lift lever to a height of cut position. In high or
thick grass, cut the grass in the highest position first
and then lower the mower housing to a lower position.
CAUTION: Do not operate with the mower housing in the
LEVEL ADJUSTMENT position. If you operate in the LEVEL
ADJUSTMENT position, the mower housing and blades can
be damaged.
4. Move the throttle control to the SLOW position.
5. Move the blade rotation control to the ENGAGE
position.
6. Move the throttle control to the FAST position.
7. Slowly push the speed control pedal to the desired
speed.
NOTE: When you mow in heavy grass or mow with a
grass bagger, use a slow forward speed.
8. Make sure the level of cut set at the factory is still
correct. After you mow a short distance, look at the
area that was cut. If the mower housing does not cut
level, see the instructions on "How to Level the Mower
Housing" in the Maintenance section.
WARNING: For better control of the unit, always
select a safe speed.
