Clutch life will be maximized if these procedures are
followed.
1. Engage the clutch
only when the throttle is set at
approximately
2/3 throttle
and there is
no load
on the
blades. After clutch engagement, advance the engine
throttle to full rpm.
Engaging the deck clutch at high engine rpm or when
under heavy load (in tall grass, for example) can cause
belts and/or electric clutch to slip, resulting in premature
wear or possible damage.
2. Disengage the clutch
only when the throttle is set at
less
than 1/2 throttle.
Never disengage the clutch with the engine running at
high rpm. Setting the throttle to less than 1/2 throttle
when disengaging the clutch will help extend clutch life.
Warranty will not be allowed
for deck clutches that fail due
to improper engagement and disengagement practices.
Deck Cutting Height Adjustment
Deck cutting height is adjustable in 1/4” (6.4mm) increments.
Step on the deck lift pedal and latch the transport lever in the
deck transport position. Pull the adjusting pin out of the hole
that it is in and insert it into the desired cutting height hole. Step
on the deck lift pedal to release the transport lever. Figure 3-10
Step on the deck lift pedal and raise the deck to its highest
position and latch the transport lever in place when transporting
the unit.Figure 3-10
Anti-Scalp Wheels
Anti-scalp wheels are standard on this mower. These anti-
scalp wheels are designed to minimize scalping when mowing
on rough uneven terrain. Figure 3-11
Anti-scalp wheels can be installed in two positions. With the
wheel installed in the bottom hole, the wheel is located 1.60”
(40.6mm) below the mower blades. This setting is preferred
when mowing at cutting heights of 2-1/2” (63.5mm) or higher.
When the wheel is mounted in the top hole, it is located .70”
(17.8mm) below the mower blades. This is the acceptable
setting for mowing at cutting heights of 1-1/2” (38.1mm) or
higher.
