Always cut grass with the engine at full
throttle speed. This “ENGINE” speed
allows the cutting blades to operate at
optimum cutting speed. Control
“GROUND” speed with the Control
Lever(s).
NOTE: The tractor should never be pulled at
more than 2 miles per hour or for any
appreciable distance.

Vary ground speed to suit conditions
(i.e. go slower in tall thick grass, on hills,
wet conditions, etc.).
