Adjusting Mower Cutting Height
The cutting height lift lever (A, Figure 4) controls the mower
cutting height. The cutting height is has seven positions
between approximately 1-1/4" and 4" (3,2-10 cm).
Attaching a Trailer
The maximum horizontal drawbar force allowed is 280 Newton.
The maximum vertical drawbar force is 160 Newton. This
equates to a 250 lbs (113 kg) trailer on a 10 degree hill. Secure
the trailer with an appropriately sized clevis pin (A, Figure 5) and
clip (B).
Storage
WARNING
Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed,
poorly ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can
travel to an ignition source (such as a furnace,
water heater, etc.) and cause an explosion.
Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and animals.
Before you store your unit for the off-season, read the
Maintenance and Storage instructions in the Safety Rules
section, then perform the following steps:
• Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, and remove
the key.
• Perform engine maintenance and storage measures listed
in the engine owner's manual. This includes draining the
fuel system, or adding stabilizer to the fuel (do not store a
fueled unit in an enclosed structure - see warning).
• Battery life will be increased if it is removed, put in a cool,
dry place and fully charged about once a month. If the
battery is left in the unit, disconnect the negative cable.
Before starting the unit after it has been stored:
• Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.
• Perform all recommended checks and procedures found in
the engine owner's manual.
• Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before use.
