Walker T23 Operator's Manual

T27i Operating Instructions
43
● When mowing, operate the engine at full
throttle for the best cutting action and perfor-
mance of the grass handling system (GHS).
Mowing with a lower engine RPM causes the
mowing blade to not cut clean and tear the
grass. The engine is designed to be oper-
ated at full speed.
● When mowing in adverse conditions (tall and/
or wet grass), mow the grass twice. Raise the
mower to the highest setting - 4 in. (102 mm)
- for the rst pass and then make a second
pass cutting to the desired height.
● Use a slow setting on the FSC for trimming
operations.
● Make sure the mower is leveled properly for a
smooth cut. Refer to Deck Leveling on page
25.
● Use an alternating stripe mowing pattern for
best appearance and vary the direction of the
stripe each time the grass is mowed to avoid
wear patterns in the grass.
● Avoid damage to the grass by slipping and
skid ding of the drive tires. Use smooth
control move ments of the steering levers
since the hydrostatic transmissions are “power
boosted controls” and jerk ing the levers can
easily slip the tires. For sharp turns, do not
allow the inside wheel to stop and twist on
grass; pull inside steering lever into reverse for
a smooth “rolling” turn (one wheel rolling
forward while the other rolls backward).
● When using a side discharge mower deck, the
side discharge deector shield must not be
removed and must be kept in the lowest
possible position to deect grass clippings and
thrown objects down ward. Orient the side
discharge away from side walks or streets to
minimize cleanup of clippings. When mowing
close to obstacles, orient the side dis charge
away from obstacles to reduce the chance of
damage to property by thrown objects.
