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.
5. Maintain Sharp Blade(s) Throughout The Cutting Season.
