The warning system in this manual identifies

potential hazards and has special safety messages that

help you and others avoid personal injury, even death.

DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION are signal

words used to identify the level of hazard. However,

regardless of the hazard, be extremely careful.

DANGER signals an extreme hazard that will cause

serious injury or death if the recommended

precautions are not followed.

WARNING signals a hazard that may cause serious

injury or death if the recommended precautions are

not followed.

CAUTION signals a hazard that may cause minor or

moderate injury if the recommended precautions are

not followed.

Two other words are also used to highlight

information. “Important” calls attention to special

mechanical information and “Note” emphasizes

general information worthy of special attention.

The left and right side of the machine is determined

by sitting on the seat in the normal operator’s

position.

Operation

Side

Discharge

or Mulch Grass

The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses

clippings to the side and down toward the turf.

POTENTIAL HAZARD

•Without the grass deflector or complete

grass catcher assembly mounted in place,

you and others are exposed to blade contact

and thrown debris.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

•Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and

thrown debris will cause injury or death.

HOW TO AV

OID THE HAZARD

•

NEVER r

emove the grass deflector from

the mower because the grass deflector

routes material down toward the turf. If the

grass deflector is ever damaged, replace it

immediately.

•Never put your hands or feet under the

mower.

•Never try to clear discharge area or mower

blades unless you move the power take-off

(PTO) to “OFF” and rotate the ignition key

to “OFF.” Also remove the key and pull the

wire(s) off the spark plug(s).

Engaging

the Mower Blades

(PTO)

The blade control switch (PTO) in conjunction with

the blade control bail engages and disengages power

to the electric clutch and mower blades.

1. Pull on the upper control bar to stop the machine

(Fig. 8).

2. To engage the blades, squeeze the blade control

bail against the upper control bar.

3. Press the blade control rocker switch forward to

“ON”. Hold the blade control bail against the

control bar while operating.

Note: Repeat the procedure to engage the

mower blades if the blade control bail

is released.

4. To disengage the blades, release the blade

control bail, or push the blade control switch to

the “OFF” position.

Operation

Adjusting

the Height-of-Cut

The height-of-cut is adjustable from 2” to 5” (51 to

127 mm) in 1/2-inch (13 mm) increments by

relocating the clevis pins in different hole locations in

brackets at each corner of the cutting unit (Fig. 9).

Stop the engine before adjusting the height-of-cut.

Note: All four pins must be in the same hole

location for even cutting.

Adjusting

Gage Wheels

The gage wheels must be adjusted in the proper hole

location for each height-of-cut position.

1. After adjusting height-of-cut remove nut and

washer while holding stud with wrench

(Fig. 10).

Note: Do not remove the wheel nut and

washer (Fig. 10).

2. Select a hole position so the gage wheel is 3/8”

(9.5 mm) off the ground for the height-of-cut to

be used (Fig. 10).

3. Reinstall the stud nut and washer (Fig. 10).

4. Repeat adjustment on other gage wheels.
