Controls and Operation
This mower may be equipped with the patented
Operator Controlled Discharge Chute (OCDC) to
regulate discharge. This discharge chute has a
variable adjustment that ranges from fully open to
fully closed.
In the fully closed position, it will serve to keep
some of the clipped material under the mower deck
for a longer period of time, in order to enhance
the mulching capabilities. This will also function as
a discharge safety shield. This discharge chute
should ALWAYS BE OPERATED IN THE FULLY
CLOSED POSITION WHEN MOWING NEXT TO
VULNERABLE OBJECTS
1. Handle: Used to raise and lower the OCDC.
2. Chute Adjustment: Used to adjust position
of the chute. May also be used to hold
chute between fully open or fully closed.
To adjust the OCDC, move handle to raise
or lower the screen to desired position.
BE AWARE OF SURROUNDINGS AT ALL
TIMES!

Cut Height Setting
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 rst time you mow, set the cut height slightly
higher than normal, then adjust accordingly.
1. Refer to the deck height indicator and determine the
appropriate notch setting for your desired cut.
3. Depress the deck foot pedal to lift deck, allowing the
deck to lock into the highest position.
4. Reposition the deck height pin to the selected setting,
then depress the deck foot pedal and release the
deck lock.
5. Slowly release pressure on the deck foot pedal to
lower the deck to the new height setting.
CAUTION
WARNING
Before setting cut height, the en-
gine must be OFF and the park-
ing brake must be engaged.
Mowing Speed
The mower is designed to operate most efciently at
maximum blade speed (engine 3600 rpm).
The speed of the mower should allow the mower deck
blades to maintain this maximum speed while
mowing across turf. Control the ground speed with
speed control levers. Slow the mower for cutting tall
grass, grass that is heavy with moisture, or when
moving uphill. If ground speed is too fast, or blade
speed is too slow, mowing will be uneven because
mower blades will not be able to lift grass into cutting
position as mower passes over the ground.
