OPERATING THE CUTTING BLADES
The cutting blades may be engaged while the lawn
tractor is moving or standing still. DO NOT engage
the cutting blades abruptly as the sudden belt
tension on the pulley may cause the engine to stall.

from the discharge opening, the blades or
any part of the deck. When the unit is

operations, the blade drive should be
disengaged.
