Operating Tips
Becoming Familiar with the Machine
Before mowing grass, practice operating the machine in an
open area. Start and stop the engine. Operate in forward and
reverse. Lower and raise the cutting units and engage and
disengage the reels. When you feel familiar with the machine,
practice operating up and down slopes at different speeds.
Understanding the Warning System
If a warning light comes on during operation, stop the
machine immediately and correct the problem before
continuing operation. Serious damage could occur if you
operate the machine with a malfunction.
Mowing Grass
Start the engine and move the engine speed switch to the
Fast position. Move the Enable/Disable switch to the Enable
position and use the Lower Mow/Raise lever to control the
cutting units (the front cutting units are timed to lower before
the rear cutting units). To move forward and cut grass, press
the traction pedal forward.
Note:
Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes before shutting
it off after a full load operation. Failure to do so may lead to
turbo-charger trouble.
Driving the Machine in Transport Mode
Move the Enable/Disable switch to the Disable position and
raise the cutting units to the transport position. Move the
Mow/Transport lever to the transport position. Be careful
when driving between objects so that you do not accidentally
damage the machine or the cutting units. Use extra care when
operating the machine on slopes. Drive slowly and avoid
sharp turns on slopes to prevent roll-overs. Lower the cutting
units when going downhill for steering control.
