OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS (When used with a 52" or 62" Blower Kit) CAUTION When grass collector is removed, NEVER op erate without deflector in place. For best performance, regulate traction pedal to keep engine rpm high and somewhat constant. A good rule to follow is: decrease ground speed as the load on the cutting blade increases; and increase ground speed as the load on the blade decreases.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 2. Position grass deflector mounts on outside of pivot brackets (included in kit) and secure parts together with capscrews, locknuts and washers previously removed (Fig. 11). Both locknuts must face each other. Tighten locknuts until they are flush against deflector pivots. 3.
