The best mulching action typically results from cutting only
the top 1/2 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 Unit By Hand
NOTICE
Do NOT tow zero-turn riding mower.
Towing the units will cause hydraulic transmission damage.
Do not use another vehicle to push or pull this unit.
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, turn the
ignition switch to OFF, and remove the key.
2. Locate the transmission release lever on top of the
transmission of the unit. 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 valves rotate the
transmission release levers to the "bypass" position (A,
Figure 24). The transmission release levers will contact
the bodies of the transmissions. The transmission release
levers will be oriented so that they are perpendicular to
the axles of the transmissions.

4. Disengage the parking brake. The unit can now be
pushed by hand.
5. After moving the unit, close the bypass valves by rotating
the transmission release levers to the "run" position (B).
The transmission release levers will contact the bodies
of the transmissions. The transmission release levers will
be oriented so that they are parallel to the axles of the
transmissions.
Note:Both transmission release levers must be in the same
position.
