3 Installing the Mower No Parts Required Procedure Note: Squealing when the belt is rotating, blades slipping when cutting grass, frayed belt edges, burn marks, and cracks are signs of a worn mower belt.

Refer to the Replacing the Mower Belt section in the Operator’s Manual. 3. Install the mower deck to the machine.

Operation Striping visibility is affected by the sun position Adjusting the Height This is how the light is reflected on the grass. • Mowing patterns which generally run east–west will have a greater contrast than north–south patterns. • The striping pattern contrast is less visible around noon, and is more visible in mornings and afternoons. Important: Applying excessive downward pressure with the striping bar may damage turf and the striping kit.
PAGE 6
• When side discharging, the clippings should be directed away from walks, drives, flower beds, buildings and vehicles. If the discharge throws clippings a long distance, mow additional passes to avoid unwanted cleanup of clippings. • Large areas with occasional trees or other obstructions will often look best when the mowing pattern appears to go through the obstruction. For example, it can look best for a pattern to match and continue on the far side of a small pond.
