control lever in the FAST (rabbit) position for the most
efficient use of the cutting deck or other (separately available)
attachments.

To help avoid blade contact or a
thrown object injury, keep bystanders, helpers,
children and pets at least 75 feet from the machine
while it is in operation. Stop machine if anyone
enters the area.
The following information will be helpful when using the cutting
deck with your tractor.

discharge of materials toward roads, sidewalks,
bystanders and the like. Also, avoid discharging
material against a wall or obstruction which may
cause discharged material to ricochet back toward
the operator.
Do not mow at high ground speed, especially if a mulch kit 
or grass collector is installed.
Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass is prone to weed 
growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.
Always operate the tractor with the throttle lever in the 
FAST (rabbit) position while mowing.
For best results it is recommended that the first two laps be 
cut with the discharge thrown towards the center. After the
first two laps, reverse the direction to throw the discharge
to the outside for the balance of cutting. This will give a
better appearance to the lawn.
