OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
SIDE DISCHARGE OF THE CLIPPINGS:
In order to achieve optimum performance when side discharging the
grass clippings, please read and follow the tips listed below.
Additional information can be found in the troubleshooting guide.
CAUTION Be sure that the deflector is properly
installed on the discharge chute.
1, Set engine speed control to the wide open or full
setting.
2. Do Not Attempt To Cut Grass When It Is Wet.
Wet grass will clog the underside of the deck
and discharge area.
3. If the grass is tall, place the mower deck cut
height lever in the top or second notch. “Initially”
overlap cutting swaths instead of a full swath
with each pass. Some applications may
require a second cutting.
4. Keep The Underside Of The Mower Deck Clean.
Frequent removal of dried grass and dirt will
allow the clippings to discharge correctly.
(Disengage blade and stop engine prior to clearing
grass from either the discharge chute or grass
catcher components.)
5. Maintain Sharp Blade(s) Throughout The Cutting
Season.
