OPERATION

Operation With Turbo

• Grass should be cut often but not too short. If grass is

too long or lush, it may be necessary to keep ground

speed to a minimum or to cut only half the width to

prevent clogging. If grass is too high, operate with

mower in high cutting position. Cut the grass again in

lower cutting position, if desired.

• Before mowing, clear the lawn of all sticks, stones,

wire and other debris which may be caught or thrown

by the mower blades.

• The blower housing should be removed for cleaning.

If a large amount of cut grass is spilling out from

under the deck, the tube may be plugged or grass

bags are full. Shut off tractor, disengage the PTO,

remove the key, and allow all moving parts to stop

before disconnecting the tube.

• Always operate at full throttle speed.

Operation Without Turbo

• For operation without the turbo, the deflector must be

properly installed in the down position and retained

by the spring latch.

• To remove turbo, reverse the installation steps.

Recommended Accessories

• Front counterweight is recommended when using

rear-mounted grass catcher.

• On slopes over 17.6% (10°), use two rear wheel

weights in addition to front counterweight.

Always mow up and down the face of slopes, never across

the face. Never mow on slopes greater than 30% (16.7

degrees)
