Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. Check the blade mounting bolts for proper tightness every eight (8) hours of operation. Check the blades for excessive wear and sharpness every four to eight (4-8) hours of operation. Sharpen dull blades.

Recommendations for this angle: Lean back with arms stretched out straight while holding onto the stationary handlebar. This transfers more of your body weight to the rear drive wheels for more traction. Do not change speed suddenly to minimize the tendency of going into a slide. Accelerate and decelerate gently. If you ever go into an uncontrolled slide while pointing down a slope the recommended procedure is to let go of the handles and jump off if necessary.

brake. The higher engine speed will make the controls much more responsive and the mower much quicker; Use caution if it is your first time. Now try moving the hand control levers, one at a time, very slightly, forward and backward. Gradually increase your speed until you are well acquainted with the operation of the hand controls and the mower’s behavior. After gaining a good feel for how the mower handles, gradually attempt higher engine speeds until familiar with operation at full throttle engine speed.
How to Adjust Neutral Neutral refers to the mower movement when the engine is set to full throttle, parking brake is off, and the control levers are in the neutral position. The mower should not move forward or backward during this time. If the mower is moving forward or rearward, the neutral setting must be adjusted. The hydraulic pump has a Return-to-Neutral (RTN) device built into the linkage of the pump.
The height-of-cut can be adjusted the following ways: Pull the deck lift lever on the right hand side of the mower towards the rear of the mower until it clicks once into the locked transport position. Then set the mower blade height with the selector pin on the left hand side of the mower. Once the proper height setting is set on the left, pull back on the deck lift lever on the right side and then lower the lever towards the front of the machine until it stops at the set height-of-cut.

Adjustment will be to preference of feel. The two adjustment springs should at all times, be positioned next to each other not one forward or back more than the other.
