Recommended Operational Instructions
Warning: The following Recommendations are from the O.E.M. They can also be found in your
operator’smanualfromtheO.E.M.The same rules apply for your Propane Applications.
Caution: If you encounter tall/wet grasses or weeds. Cutting should be done with the mower deck set to
its highest position.
Note: When you encounter tall/wet grass or weeds. You will notice a slight loss in RPM on propane or
gasoline.
Commercial mowers are engineered to operate most efficiently at maximum blade speeds, which are
achieved with maximum engine speed.
Always set engine speed at full throttle when mowing, and maintain a minimum
of 3400 RPM and a maximum of 3600 RPM.
Note: If your engine drops below 3400 RPM. You must raise the deck and or slow down ground speed.
If you do not take this into account an uneven cut will occur on a Gasoline Mower or Propane Mower.
Maintaining recommended engine speed will provide the necessary airflow through the engine cowling
to prevent overheating and will maintain blade speed for satisfactory quality of cut.
If the engine drops below 3400 RPM under load slow down ground speed to allow engine to recover to
the proper RPM. This applies to Gasoline or Propane.
The ground speed of the mower should allow the blades to maintain maximum speed. Therefore, slow
the ground speed of the mower when cutting tall/wet grass or mowing uphill in order to maintain
maximum blade speed. If ground speed is too fast or blade speed is too slow an uneven cut will result.
Note: If you do not take this into account an uneven cut will occur on a gasoline or Propane fuel.
Your mowing practices may have to be altered slightly to accommodate the characteristics of propane.
