Although reading this manual and the safety instructions it contains will provide you with the necessary basic knowledge to operate this equipment safely and effectively, we have placed several safety labels on the unit to remind you of this important information while you are operating your unit.
GefleraJ (JperatJflg Jflstructms BEFORE OPERATION Clear the lawn of all sticks, stones, wire and other debris which may be caught or thrown by the mower blades. Check grass condition. If wet, wait until later in the day. if grass is wet, the grass catcher is likely to become plugged. For efficient bagging, air circulation under the mower deck, through the chute and into the bag is very important.
Gefleral(Jperatiflg Iflstructms AFTER OPERATION Remove any debris from the the screen on the underside of the lid. Note: The lid screen can be partially removed for easier cleaning and should be cleaned regularly. The blower housing and tube should be removed for cleaning. Inspect the grass bags for wear or damage. Make sure that there is a snug fit between mower deck, blower housing, tubes, and grass catcher cover.
suspeflsmAdjustmflt REAR SUSPENSION For IS1500Z & IS2000Z ADJUSTMENT Models: POSITION #1 \ (FACTORY POSITION #2 (GRASS BAGGER) / / / ..........
