NOTE: The operator must remain in the riding mower seat at all times.
If the operator should leave the seat without turning off the power
take-off switch, the riding mower's engine will shut off.
NOTE: The PTO cannot be operated when the riding mower is driving
in the reverse direction. The PTO will disengage when both drive
control levers are moved to the reverse position, and will re-engage
when one (or both) control lever(s) is moved to the neutral or forward

USING THE MOWER DECK
WARNING
Make certain the area to be mowed is free of debris, sticks, stones,
wire or other objects that can be thrown by the rotating blades.
NOTE: Do not engage the mower deck when lowered in grass.
Premature wear and possible failure of the 'V" belt and PTO clutch
will result. Fully raise the deck or move to a non-grassy area before
engaging the mower deck.
1.
Mow across slopes, not up and down. If mowing a slope, start at
bottom and work upward to ensure turns are made uphill.
2.
On the first pass pick a point on the opposite side of the area to
be mowed.
3.
Engage the PTO and move the throttle control to the FAST
position.
4.
Lower the mower deck to the desired height setting using the
deck lift handle.
5.
Slowly and evenly push the RH and LH drive control levers
forward to move the riding mower forward, and keep the riding
mower headed directly toward the alignment point.
NOTE: The speed of the riding mower will affect the quality of the
mower cut. Mowing at full speed will adversely affect the cut quality.
Control the ground speed with the control levers.
6.
When approaching the other end of the strip, slow down or stop
before turning. A U-turn is recommended unless a zero turn is
required.
7.
Align the mower with an edge of the mowed strip and overlap
approximately 3".
8.
Direct the riding mower on each subsequent strip to align with a
previously cut strip.
