Entering the User Position Disengaging the Parking Brake Use the mower deck as a step to get into the user position (Figure 16). g029829 Figure 18 Operating the Mower Blade-Control Switch (PTO) g029797 Figure 16 The blade-control switch (PTO) starts and stops the mower blades and any powered attachments. Operating the Parking Brake Engaging the Blade-Control Switch (PTO) Always engage the parking brake when you stop the machine or leave it unattended.
Operating the Throttle Operating the Ignition Switch You can move the throttle control between the FAST and SLOW positions (Figure 21). 1. Always use the FAST position when turning on the mower deck with the blade-control switch (PTO). Turn the ignition key to the START position (Figure 23). Note: When the engines starts, release the key. Important: Do not engage starter for more than 5 seconds at a time. If the engine fails to start allow a 15 second cool-down period between attempts.
Shutting Off the Engine CAUTION Children or bystanders may be injured if they move or attempt to operate the machine while it is unattended. Always remove the ignition key and engage the parking brake when leaving the machine unattended, even if just for a few minutes. Let the engine idle at slow throttle (turtle) for 60 seconds before turning the ignition switch to the OFF position. g036779 Figure 24 6. Turn the ignition key to the START position (Figure 25).
Driving the Machine Using the Motion-Control Levers The drive wheels turn independently, powered by hydraulic motors on each axle. You can turn 1 side in reverse while you turn the other forward, causing the machine to spin rather than turn. This greatly improves the machine maneuverability but may require sometime for you to adapt to how it moves. The throttle control regulates the engine speed as measured in rpm (revolutions per minute).
Stopping the Machine To stop the machine, move the traction-control levers to neutral, and then move them to the locked position, disengage the blade-control switch (PTO), and turn the ignition key to the OFF position. Engage the parking brake when you leave the machine; refer to Engaging the Parking Brake (page 22). Remember to remove the key from the ignition switch. CAUTION Children or bystanders may be injured if they move or attempt to operate the machine while it is unattended.
Adjusting the Height of Cut Adjusting the Height-of-Cut Pin Using the Transport Lock The height-of-cut is adjusted from 25 to 140 mm (1 to 5-1/2 inches) in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments by relocating the clevis pin into different hole locations. The transport lock has 2 positions, and is used with the deck-lift pedal. There is a LOCK position and a UNLOCK position for the transport position (Figure 30). 1. Move the transport lock to the lock position. 2.
Adjusting the Flow Baffle Cam Locks This procedure is applicable only to machines with the flow-baffle locks. Certain models have nuts and bolts in place of the flow-baffle locks and can be adjusted the same. You can adjust the mower-discharge flow for different types of mowing conditions. Position the cam locks and baffle to give the best quality of cut. g029955 Figure 32 1. Anti-scalp roller 4. Flange nut 2. Spacer 5. Bolt 3. Bushing 1.
Positioning the Flow Baffle Position C The following figures are only recommendations for use. Adjustments vary by grass type, moisture content, and the height of the grass. This is the full open position. The suggested use for this position is as follows: Note: If the engine power draws down and the • Wet conditions • Tall, dense grass mowing conditions mower ground speed is the same, open up the baffle.
Operating Tips drop onto your lawn. To avoid this, move onto a previously cut area with the blades engaged or you can disengage the mower deck while moving forward. Using the Fast Throttle Setting For best mowing and maximum air circulation, operate the engine at the FAST position. Air is required to thoroughly cut grass clippings, so do not set the height-of-cut so low as to totally surround the mower in uncut grass.
Using the Fuel-Shutoff Valve The drive-wheel-release valves are located in the back of each hydraulic-drive unit, under the seat. Note: Make sure that the release valves are in the fully horizontal position when operating the machine or severe damage to the hydraulic system can occur. The fuel-shutoff valve is located under the seat. Move the seat forward to access it. Close the fuel-shutoff valve for transport, maintenance, and storage.
