BEGIN CUTTING
•
Make sure area is clear of all bystanders.
•
Make sure that all guards, belt guides, and the spark plug wire are properly
attached.
•
Start engine, setting desired engine speed.
•
Slowly, engage blade.
•
Move transaxle into low gear and activate “GROUND CONTROL” bail.
•
Turning is done by rotating the handles left or right. This machine has significant
weight and may take more effort to turn than one may expect. Turning could take
practice.
BACKING UP
•
Disengage blade.
•
Check safety behind you.
•
Move transaxle into “REVERSE” position.
•
Activate “GROUND CONTROL” bail.
TRANSPORTING
•
Disengage blade.
•
Shut off engine and remove keys.
•
Using 3 persons to lift cutter is recommended.
•
Secure in place while unit is being transported.
•
Unit should be left in low gear to avoid any slight rolling.
SUGGESTED PRACTICES
•
Always operate engine at full throttle when cutting to assure the best cutting
performance and proper discharge of material.
•
If grass is wet, allow it to dry out. Wet grass clumps will collect on the bottom of
the deck.
•
Go Slow when cutting dense areas. Some dense areas may need to be gone over
twice. Better results occur if the second cut is 90 degrees to the first cut.
CAUTION!
Chock wheels
when parking
on a hillside.
