Operation

Grass Deflector

The grass deflector (Fig. NO TAG) is a safety
device that diverts grass and other foreign
objects being discharged downward. WE
STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE
DEFLECTOR BE IN ITS NORMAL OPERATING
POSITION WHENEVER THE CUTTING UNIT IS
ENGAGED. NEVER OPERATE CUTTING UNIT
WITH THE DEFLECTOR REMOVED FROM
THE CUTTING UNIT OR IT TIED/BLOCKED IN
A RAISED POSITION. SINCE THE BLADES
COULD THEN THROW DEBRIS A
CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE WITH
SUFFICIENT FORCE TO CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. If the
grass deflector is damaged, repair or replace
the affected part(s).

Note: The deflector is spring loaded into its
downward normal operating position, but the
operator can temporarily swing it out of the
way to facilitate loading in a trailer or when
otherwise necessary.

Operating Tips

MOW WHEN GRASS IS DRY–Mow either in the late
morning to avoid the dew, which causes grass clumping
or in late afternoon to avoid the damage that can be
caused by direct sunlight on the sensitive, freshly
mowed grass.

SELECT THE PROPER HEIGHT–OF–CUT
SETTING TO SUIT CONDITIONS – Remove
approximately one inch or no more than 1/3 of the grass
blade when cutting. In exceptionally lush and dense
grass you may have to raise your height–of–cut setting
another notch. When cutting in 1 in. or 1-1/2 in.
height-of-cut, add a second washer between rear castor
forks and bottom of castor arm housings to increase
blade rake.

MOWING IN EXTREME CONDITIONS – Air is
required to cut and recut grass clippings in mower
housing, so do not set height-of-cut too low or totally
surround housing by uncut grass. Always try to have
one side of the mower housing free from uncut grass,
allowing air to be drawn into housing. When making an
initial cut thru center of uncut area, operate machine
slower and back up if mower starts to clog.

ALWAYS START MOWING WITH SHARP BLADES
– A sharp blade cuts cleanly and without tearing or
shredding the grass blades like a dull blade. Tearing and
shredding causes the grass to turn brown at the edges
which impairs growth and increases susceptibility to
diseases. Make sure blade is in good condition and a
full sail is present.

CHECK CONDITION OF DECK – Make sure cutting
chambers are in good condition. Straighten any bends in
chamber components to ensure correct blade
tip/chamber clearance.

STOPPING – If forward motion has to be stopped while
cutting, a clump of grass clippings may be deposited on
lawn. Follow this procedure for stopping while cutting:

With deck engaged, move onto a previously cut
area.

Shift to neutral, move throttle control lever to
SLOW position and rotate ignition key to OFF.

AFTER OPERATING – To ensure optimum
performance, clean underside of mower housing,
especially around inserts (kickers) after each use. If
residue is allowed to build up in mower housing and on
inserts, cutting performance will decrease.
