The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can

result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your

tractor or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask

over the spectacles or standard safety glasses.

unauthorized use.

“ Never use choke to stop engine.

NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing

idle with the engine running, hot engine exhaust gases may

cause “browning" of grass. To eliminate this possibility,

always stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

pletely, as described above, before leav

ing the operator's position; to empty

grass catcher, etc.

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 9)

“ Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the

battery charging rate.

° Full throttle offers the best bagging and mower perfor

mance.

motion control lever,

• Start tractor with motion control lever in neutral (N)

TO ADJUST IVIOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

(See Fig. 9)

The cutting height is controlled by turning the height adjust

ment knob in desired directiori.

• Turn knob clockwise to raise cutting height.

• Turn knob counterclockwise to tower cutting

height.

The cutting height range is approximately 1 -1/2" to 4". The

heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with

the engine not running. These heights are approximate

and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of

grass and types of grass being mowed.

" The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2-1/2

inches during the cool season and to over 3 inches

during hot months. For healthier and better looking

lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.

» For best cutting performance, grass over 6 inches in

height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut

relatively high; the second to desired height.
