Controls and Operation
This mower is equipped with the patented Opera-
tor 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 en-
hance the mulching capabilities. This will also
function as a discharge safety shield. This dis-
charge 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 the
position of the chute. May also be used to
hold the chute between fully open or fully
closed.
To adjust the OCDC, move the handle to raise or
lower the screen to the desired position.
BE AWARE OF SURROUNDINGS AT ALL
TIMES!

The mower is designed to operate most effi 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 the mower blades will not be
able to lift grass into cutting position as the
mower passes over the ground.
