NOTE: Always set engine speed at full-
throttle when mowing. Maintain a minimum
engine speed of 3400 RPM and a maximum
engine speed of 3600 RPM while mowing.
This engine speed will provide the neces-
sary airfl ow to the engine cowling to prevent
overheating and will maintain blade speed
for a satisfactory quality of cut. If the engine
pulls below 3400 RPM when under load, slow
down the ground speed and allow the engine
to recover to the proper RPM.
Slow the mower for cutting tall grass or
when mowing uphill. If ground speed is too
fast or blade speed is too slow, mowing will
be uneven because the mower blades will
not be able to lift the grass into cutting
position as the mower passes over the
ground.
1. Set the mowing deck height to desired cut
height
2. To release the parking brake, push the
parking brake lever all the way down.
3. Set the throttle to 3/4-power position.
4. Engage the mower deck by pulling up on
the deck engaging switch (PTO).
5. Set the throttle at the full-throttle
position.
6. Steer and accelerate the mower using the
steering speed control levers as explained
in this manual.
Set the mowing deck appropriately to achieve the
desired height of your cut. The recommended
cutting height is 2-3 inches (5-7 cm), though your
preference may be a higher or lower cut.
Tall grass or weeds should be cut with the mower
deck set to its highest position.
The fi rst time you mow, set the cut height slightly
higher than normal, then adjust accordingly.
1. Refer to the deck height indicator decal
on the left side of the deck stop housing.
2. Determine the appropriate setting for your
desired cut height.
3. Depress the deck height adjustment pedal
until it locks in the upper most setting.
4. Reposition the deck height pin to the
desired setting.
5. Slowly lower the deck to the new height
setting by releasing the deck height
adjustment pedal.
