The purpose of this manual is to assist the opera-

instructions have been compiled from extensive

The illustrations and data used in this manual were
current at the time of printing, but due to possible
in-line production changes, your machine may
vary slightly in detail. We reserve the right to
redesign and change the machine as may be
necessary without notification.
Some illustrations in this manual
show the mower with safety shields removed

never be operated with any safety shielding
removed.
