Front of machine 3.
Driving the Machine The drive wheels turn independently, powered by hydraulic motors on each axle. You can turn 1 side in reverse while you turn the other forward, causing the machine to spin rather than turn. This greatly improves the machine maneuverability but may require some time for you to adapt to how it moves. The throttle control regulates the engine speed as measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Place the throttle control in the FAST position for best performance.
Using the Side Discharge Adjusting the Height of Cut Machines with Side Discharge Only Adjust the height of cut from 25 to 140 mm (1 to 5-1/2 inches) in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments by moving the clevis pin into different hole locations. The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses clippings to the side and down toward the turf. DANGER Without a grass deflector, discharge cover, or a complete grass-catcher assembly mounted in place, you and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown debris.
Adjusting the Anti-Scalp Rollers For maximum deck flotation, install the rollers 1 hole position lower. Rollers should maintain a 6 mm (1/4 inch) clearance to the ground. Do not adjust the rollers to support the deck. 1. Park the machine on a level surface. 2. Disengage the blade-control switch (PTO), move the motion-control levers to the NEUTRAL-LOCK position, and engage the parking brake. 3.
Adjusting the Skids For Models with Rear Discharge Mount the skids in the lower position when operating at heights of cut greater than 51 mm (2 inches) and in a higher position when operating at heights of cut lower than 51 mm (2 inches). Adjust the skids as shown in Figure 29. g227783 Figure 28 Rear Discharge Machines 1. Bolt 3. Anti-scalp roller 2. Bushing 4. Flange nut 5. 6. For side discharge machines, torque the flange nut to 68 to 75 N∙m (50 to 55 ft-lb).
Positioning the Flow Baffle Position B For Machines with Side Discharge Use this position when bagging. Always align it with the blower opening. The following figures are recommendations only. Adjustments vary by grass type, moisture content, and the height of the grass. Note: If the engine power draws down and the mower ground speed is the same, open the baffle. Position A This is the fully-rear position.
g295812 Figure 32 Operating with the Overheat Sensor The PTO disengages, an alarm sounds, and a bar graph displays the engine temperature when it reaches an overheat condition. The PTO does not engage until the engine has cooled and you manually shut off the PTO and engage it.
Operating Tips drop onto your lawn. To avoid this, move onto a previously cut area with the blades engaged or you can disengage the mower deck while moving forward. Using the Fast Throttle Setting For best mowing and maximum air circulation, operate the engine at the FAST position. Air is required to thoroughly cut grass clippings, so do not set the height-of-cut so low as to totally surround the mower deck in uncut grass.
After Operation After Operation Safety General Safety • Park machine on level ground, disengage drives, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove key. Wait for all movement to stop and allow the machine to cool before adjusting, cleaning, repairing, or storing.
