Operating Tips
1. Checkthe blade rotation control or the PT0 clutch for
correct adjustment. For the blades to disengage
correctly, the adjustment must be correct.
2. Before you use the unit, check the oil in the engine and
add oil if necessary.
3. If the engine will not start, first make sure the wire is
attached to the spark plug.
4. Make sure all the belts are inside all the belt guides.
See the instructions on how to remove and install the
motion drive and mower drive belts.
5. Before you make an inspection, adjustment (except for
the carburetor), or repair, make sure the wire from the
spark plug is disconnected.
6. For longer life of the battery on electric start models,
charge the battery every three months.
7. Use the speed control pedal to changethe ground
speed, not the throttle control.
8. Belt noise can occur when the blade is engaged. This
noise is normal and does not affect the operation of the
unit.
Mowing and Bagging Tips
1. For a lawn to look better, check the cutting level of the
mower deck. See "How To Level The Mower Deck" in
the Maintenance section.
2. For the mower deck to cut level, make sure the tires
have the correct amount of air pressure.
3. Every time you use the unit, check the blade. If the
blade is bent or damaged, immediately replacethe
blade. Also, make sure the nut for the blade is tight.
4. Keep the blades sharpened. Worn blades will cause the
ends of the grass to turn brown.
5. Do not cut or bag grass that is wet. Wet grass will not
discharge correctly. Let the grass dry before cutting.
6. Use the left side of the mower deck to trim near an
object.
7. Discharge the cut grass onto the mowed area.The
result is a more even discharge of cut grass.
8. When you mow large areas, start by turning to the right
so that the cut grass will discharge away from shrubs,
fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in
the opposite direction making left turns until finished
(Figure 18).

9. If the grass is very high, cut two times to decrease the
load on the engine. First cut with the mower housing in
the highest position and then lower the mower housing
for the second cut.
10. For better engine performance and an even discharge of
the cut grass, always operate the engine with the
throttle in FAST position.
11. When you use a bagger, operate the engine with the
throttle in FAST position and the speed control pedal
pushed 1/3 forward.
12. For better cutting performance and a quality cut, mow
with the speed control pedal pushed 1/3 to 1/2 forward.
13. After each use, clean the bottom and top of the mower
housing for better performance. Also, a clean mower
housing will help prevent a fire.
