CAUTION Children or bystanders may be injured if they move or attempt to operate the machine while it is unattended. Always remove the ignition and KeyChoice keys and set the parking brake when leaving the machine unattended, even if it is just for a few minutes. Using the Bag on Demand You can activate or deactivate the bag on demand feature while the machine is mowing or is stopped. If you are bagging grass that is tall and thick, raise the height-of-cut and mow at a slower speed. Figure 18 1.
Operating Tips • For the best performance, operate the engine at the maximum speed. The mower requires air to thoroughly cut grass clippings, so do not set the height-of-cut too low or completely surround the mower in uncut grass. Always leave one side of the mower free from uncut grass to allow the air to be drawn into the mower. • Cut the grass slightly longer than normal to ensure that the cutting height of the mower does not scalp any uneven ground.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
