Operation
■ Operation prior to mowing
●
In order to perform grass clipping work with the mower, it is necessary to engage the blade clutch and
the work attachment clutch.
●
The blade clutch turns the blades for cutting grass.
●
The work attachment clutch turns the work attachment.
●
The blades and work attachment begin to turn after both of these clutches are engaged and then the
main clutch is engaged.
〈Engaging the work attachment clutch〉
●
Engage the work attachment clutch before engaging the
blade clutch.
1. When you arrive at the workplace, find a flat and soft
ground near the grass where you can remove the tires.
2. When you are ready to start grass clipping work, install
the basket, and then before starting the engine confirm
that the main clutch is not engaged, and that there are
no people 5m in front of you or 3m behind and to either
side of you.
●
Move the ▽ mark on the throttle lever to the “L” position.
3. Make sure that the mower does not begin to move for-
ward even if the brakes are not engaged. Push the work
attachment clutch from the left side until it stops.
●
If you press this clutch until it stops, it will be in the
"Normal (counterclockwise)" position. If you pull it back
one position, it will be in the "Released" position. If you
pull it back one more position, it will be in the "Reverse
(clockwise)" position.
Danger
●
Be sure to operate the work attachment clutch
knob and the shift know from the side of the
mower.
●
Be sure to install the basket before operating
the clutches and starting grass clipping work.
