Mowing
WARNING
To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury, keep bystanders, helpers,
children and pets at least 75 feet from the machine while it is in operation. Stop
machine if anyone enters the area.
The following information will be helpful when using the cutting deck with your
tractor:
WARNING
Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of materials toward roads,
sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also, avoid discharging material against a wall
or obstruction which may cause discharged material to ricochet back toward the
operator.
•
Do not mow at high ground speed, especially if a mulch kit or grass collector
is installed.
•
For best results it is recommended that the first two laps be cut with the
discharge thrown towards the center. After the first two laps, reverse the
direction to throw the discharge to the outside for the balance of cutting.
This will give a better appearance to the lawn.
•
Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass invites weed growth and yellows
quickly in dry weather.
•
Mowing should always be done with the engine at full throttle.
•
Under heavier conditions it may be necessary to go back over the cut area a
second time to get a clean cut.
•
Do NOT attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds and extremely tall grass.
Your tractor is designed to mow lawns, NOT clear brush.
•
Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades when worn. Refer to Cutting
Blades in the Service and Maintenence section of this manual for proper
blade sharpening instructions.
OPERATION
Moving The Tractor Manually
Your tractor's transmission is equipped with a hydrostatic relief valve for occasions
when it is necessary to move the tractor manually. Activating this valve forces
the fluid in the transmission to bypass its normal route, allowing the rear tires to
"freewheel." To engage the hydrostatic relief valve, proceed as follows:
1.
Locate the hydrostatic bypass rod in the rear of the tractor. See Figure 11.
2.
Pull the hydrostatic bypass rod outward, then down to lock it into place.
NOTE: The transmission will NOT engage when the hydrostatic bypass rod is pulled
out. Return the rod to its normal position prior to operating the tractor.
IMPORTANT: Never attempt to move the tractor manually without first
engaging the hydrostatic relief valve. Doing so will result in serious damage to the
tractor's transmission.
Headlights
•
The lamps are ON whenever the tractor's engine is running.
•
The lamps turn OFF when the ignition key is moved to the STOP
position.
