Stopping the Machine
To stop the machine:
1.
Move the motion control levers to the center
T-slot position and then outward to engage the
parking brake. Disengage the blade control
switch.
2.
Place the throttle in the “FAST” position.
3.
Allow the engine to run for a minimum of 15
seconds, then turn the ignition switch to the
“OFF” position. Remember to remove the key
from the ignition switch.
CAUTION
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the mower while it
is unattended.
Always disengage the blade control switch, move
the motion control levers outward to engage the
parking brake, and remove the key when leaving
the machine unattended, even if just for a few
minutes.
Adjusting the Anti-Scalp
Rollers
It is recommended to change the anti-scalp roller
position when the height of cut has changed.
1.
Park machine on level ground, move the motion
control levers out to engage the parking brake,
disengage the blade control switch, stop engine,
and remove key and wait for all moving parts to
stop before leaving the operating position.
2.
After adjusting the height of cut, adjust the
anti-scalp rollers by removing the nyloc nut.
3.
Adjust the anti-scalp rollers for the normal
operating conditions. Place rollers in one of
the positions shown in Figure 16. Rollers will
maintain 3/4 inches (19 mm) clearance to the
ground to minimize gouging and roller wear or
damage.
Note:
For Maximum Deck Flotation,
place
the rollers one hole position lower. Rollers should
maintain 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) clearance to the
ground. Do Not adjust rollers to support the
deck.
