The best mulching action typically results from cutting only
the top ½ inch to 3/4 inch of grass blade. This provides
short clippings which decompose properly (much more
quickly than longer clippings). The ideal cutting height will
vary with climate, time of year, and quality of your lawn. We
recommend that you experiment with both the cutting height
and ground speed until you achieve the best cut. Start with
a high cutting height and using progressively lower settings
until you find a cutting height that is matched to your mowing
conditions and preferences.
Pushing the Rider by Hand
NOTICE Do not tow rider.
Towing the unit will cause transmission damage. Do not use
another vehicle to push or pull this unit.
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, turn the
ignition OFF, and remove the key.
2. Locate the transmission release levers (A, Figure 19)
underneath the engine deck of the machine between the
two rear wheels on the transmission cradle (B). There
is one transmission release lever on each transmission.
The transmission release levers open and close the
transmission bypass valves.

3. To open the transmission bypass valve (bypass position)
(C), move the transmission release lever up and pull it
towards the rear of the machine. When the second nut
(D) has passed through the hole, lower the rod down into
the slot so it will stay in the bypass position. Repeat the
process for the other side of the unit.
4. Disengage the parking brake. The rider can now be
pushed by hand.
5. After moving the unit, close the bypass valve (run
position) (E) by raising the transmission release lever so
that the back nut clears the slot, push the lever towards
the front of the machine. Repeat the process for the other
side of the unit.
Note: Both transmission release levers must be in the same
position.
