OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
MOWING - SIDE DISCHARGE:
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 causing mower to slip on hills.
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. Do not cut more than 1/3 of the
total height of the grass.
4. Keep The Underside Of The Mower Deck Clean.
Frequent removal of dried grass and dirt will allow
the clippings to discharge correctly.
5. Maintain Sharp Blade(s) Throughout The Cutting
Season.
