Transport height is adjusted to stabilize the mower in the up, locked position. 2. Adjust height-of-cut lever on mower to the middle of the range and lower attachment lift. 1. Raise attachment lift lever all the way to the latched position. Check if bumpers, on rear of mower draft bars contact under footrests. 3.
2. Pull the power take off (PTO) to the on position (Fig. 12). Operation Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. 2 Using the Side Discharge 1 Warning An uncovered discharge opening could allow the lawn mower to throw objects in the operator’s or bystander’s direction and result in serious injury.

best one to use. When cutting grass longer than six inches tall, you may want to cut the lawn twice to ensure an acceptable quality-of-cut. 1 Cut 1/3 of the Grass Blade It is best to cut only about 1/3 of the grass blade. Cutting more than that is not recommended, unless grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass grows more slowly. 2 m–2825 Mowing Direction Figure 19 1. Mid-mount hitch Alternate mowing direction to keep the grass standing straight.
Keep the Underside of the Mower Clean grass brown at the edges, which slows growth and increases the chance of disease. Every 30 days, check the cutter blade(s) for sharpness and file down any nicks. Clean clippings and dirt from the underside of the mower after each use. If grass and dirt build up inside the mower, cutting quality will eventually become unsatisfactory.
Danger A worn or damaged blade can break, and a piece of the blade could be thrown into the operator’s or bystander’s area, resulting in serious personal injury or death. 2 1 • Inspect the blade periodically for wear or damage. • Replace a worn or damaged blade. 3 151 Warning Figure 21 1. Cutting edge 2. Curved area A blade that is bent or damaged could break apart and could seriously injure or kill you or bystanders. • Always replace bent or damaged blade with a new blade.
Greasing and Lubrication Service Interval/Specification 1 Grease the mower after every 25 operating hours or once a year, whichever occurs first. Grease more frequently when operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy. Figure 23 Grease Type: General-purpose grease. 1. Sharpen at original angle How to Grease 1. Disengage the power take off (PTO), set the parking brake, and turn the ignition key to off. Remove the key 2. Check the balance of the blade by putting it on a blade balancer (Fig. 24).
Installing the Blade Drive Belt 1. Install the new belt around the blade pulleys and the idler pulley (Fig. 27). 3 8 4 7 5 1 1 2 6 m–5508 2 Figure 29 m–2830 1. 2. 3. 4. Figure 27 1. Idler 2.
