Swisher ZT2350A - Manual (Page 19)

OPERATION
Starting
¾ Operator must be sitting in the seat. Control handles must be in the neutral
(outward) position. Parking Brake on. PTO must be in the disengage position
(pushed down).
¾ Set choke (if needed), turn key and release as soon as engine starts. Adjust
throttle to half and shut choke off.
¾ Release the Parking Brake.
¾ Be sure all people are clear of the area. Engage blades and set RPM to
maximum.
Grass Height & Cutting Suggestions
¾ Do not attempt to cut wet grass
¾ The average lawn should be cut to 2 ½” during the cool season and to over 3”
during the hot months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow often and after
moderate growth.
¾ As a rule , never cut more than 1/3 of the total grass blade length. Correct
mowing height can reduce weeds and lawn disease.
¾ For best performance, grass over 6 inches in height should be mowed twice.
The first cut should be set relatively high and the second set to the desired height.
NOTE:
If you have never used a Zero
Turn mower before, refer to the
Operation Controls section of
this manual before attempting
to operate one for the first time.
