Before Each Use
• Before each use, perform the maintenance described in the maintenance section
• Read, understand, and follow the information on safety, preparation, starting and stopping safety,
operational safety, operational safety and transport safety warning sections of this manual
• With the tractor running, lower the mower into working position.
• With the tractor at idle RPM, engage the PTO, and slowly advance the throttle to approximately
540 PTO RPM.
Note: Do not allow the tractor engine or the mower to bog down or stall. This causes unnecessary
wear and tear on the mower and the tractor. If this continues to occur, reduce the ground speed
and/or raise the cutting height of the mower.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN OUT A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE UNLESS THE MOWER
BLADES HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED AND THE TRACTOR HAS BEEN SHUT OFF.
