f. Turn the key switch to the STOP position to stop
the engine.
IMPORTANT:
・Never attempt to stop the engine abruptly when it is
running at high speeds.
・Be sure to let the engine idle for about 5 minutes after
long operation to cool down engine sufficiently and
then stop the engine. Abrupt engine stopping may
lead to overheating causing seizure.
f. Remove the starter key.
(1) Starter switch
CAUTION :
When you leave the front mower, be sure
to stop the engine and remove the starter
key to prevent the front mower from
being started unexpectedly by children or
unauthorised people.
8. EFFICIENT MOWING
IMPORTANT:
・Be sure to mow at full throttle.
・Choose an adequate travelling speed in accordance
with the height or other conditions of grass to be cut.
・When the radiator screens is clogged with dust, clean
them at once. Never go on operating with clogged
screens.
・Mowing is desirable when the grass is dew-free: in the
afternoon or late afternoon, this preventing the mower
from heavy clogging.
・Always keep the mower deck clean.
・Check the blade ends for damage.
・Repeated mowing is recommended before the grass
grows too high.

・Cutting grass too short may damage the grass. To
maintain a green lawn, never mow more than one-
third off the height of the grass in one mowing.
・A slower travelling speed will result in improved
mowing. Avoid selecting such a travelling speed that
causes the front mower to bounce.
・Quick and fast turns will damage turf. Slow down
sufficiently when turning.
A. For mowing tall grass
a. Mow grass twice.
First, mow the grass to a height low enough for the
next finishing pass. Then finish to the desired grass
height.
The second travelling pass should be shifted side
ways by 20 cm (8 in.) or so, or travel perpendicular
to the first passes, which will result in a beautiful
even finish.
b. When trying to finish in one pass, select a
sufficiently slow travelling speed. It may also be
required to set the cutting width to half or one-third
of that for normal operation.
B. For mowing highly moist grass or mowing on
wet ground
a. If the turf could be damaged by the tyres, wait until
the grass and land have dried sufficiently.
b. Wet grass requires a higher grass cutting height
setting than when mowing dry grass, as the cutting
height is often lower than expected during operation
because the front mower sinks.
c. Select a sufficiently slow travelling speed and avoid
sudden starts, turns, and stops. If not, the turf may
be damaged.
C. For mowing low moist content grass or when
there is a lot of dead grass
a. Drive in a direction so that the dust does not hit
the operator by taking the direction of the wind into
consideration.
b. When the radiator screens are clogged, clean them
at once.
IMPORTANT:
・ When operating the front mower in dusty
circumstances, keep on paying attention to the coolant
temperature warning lamp.
・Never continue operating when screens are clogged,
or an engine breakdown may result.
