4.
Figures 2 and 3 illustrate two systems for mowing. If
the grass is high or heavy, always mow to throw the
clippings away from the uncut area. Figure 2. If the
grass is light and more thorough mulching is desired,
discharge the clippings toward the center of the uncut
area.
Figure 3. When mowing in this manner, a final
strip of mulched clippings about three to four feet wide
will remain near the center of the lawn. This can be
easily raked up to leave a well groomed appearance.
FIGURE 3
5. Trimming will be neater and closer by using the right
side of the mower since the clippings will be discharged
away from the object. Also the safety shield over the
discharge opening prevents mowing as close to objects.
CAUTION:
Never get on or off
the tractor while the mower is
6. Do not step on the mower deck when getting on or off
the tractor. If mounting the tractor from the right side,
place your right foot on the right foot rest, your right
hand on steering wheel and left hand on the seat back
and step onto the tractor, swinging your left foot
through between the steering wheel and seat.
When mounting from the left side, start with your left
foot on the left foot rest, your left hand on steering
wheel and right hand on seat back and step onto tractor
swinging your right foot through between steering
wheel and seat. Dismount the tractor using the reverse
of the above procedures.
7. The mechanical or hydraulic lift lever is used to raise
the mower into transport and to lower it into cutting
position.
A slight pulling pressure on the mechanical
lever will permit the release button to be more easily
depressed.
Lower the hydraulic lift until the lift arms are
posi-
tioned midway in the lift link slots. This will allow the
mower deck and gauge wheels to follow the contour of
the ground. Do not place the hydraulic lift control
lever in the hydraulic float position when mowing.
The Height Selection settings are explained in the
adjustments section of this manual.
8. Always engage tractor and mower drive systems
smoothly.
A
Be certain whoever operates the
mower has read and understands
the Safety Rules in the front of this
manual.
