Operator`s manual

OPERATION
The operation of any mower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields
before starting your mower and while mowing. We recommend wide vision safety mask
for over the spectacles or standard safety glasses.
CHILDREN
,_ Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children.
Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never
assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
HOW TO USE YOUR MOWER
STOPPING
MOWER BLADES-
• Move mower blade clutch switch to "DISENGAGED"
position.
ENGINE-
• Move throttle control to "SLOW" position.
NOTE: Failure to move throttle control to "SLOW"
position or allowing engine to idle before stopping may
cause engine to "backfire".
• Turn ignition key to "OFF" position and remove key.
Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent
unauthorized use.
• Never use choke to stop engine.
TO USE CHOKE CONTROL
Use choke control whenever you are starting a cold
engine. Do not use to start a warm engine.
• To engage choke control, move throttle control to
choke position.
• After engine has started move throttle control to full
• throttle position.
TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL
Always operate engine at full throttle.
• Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces
the battery charging rate.
• Full throttle offers the best mower performance.
TRANSPORTING
• Shut off engine.
• Place mower deck in the highest position directly
behind tractor.
ATTACHING MOWER TO TRACTOR

for attaching. (See Fig. 5)
