6_ Make sure the seat switch wire is connected, If the wire is not
connected, the engine will not start
7, For longer tlfe of the battery_ charge the battery every
three month&
8. Use the shift lever to change the ground speed, not the
throttle control
9 Belt noise can occur when the blade or clutch is engaged
This noise is normal and does not affect the operation of
the unit_
MOWING AND BAGGING TIPS
1 For a lawn to look better,, check the cutting leveF of the
mower housing,, See "How To Level The Mower Housing" in
the maintenance section_
2o For the mower housing to cut level, make sure the tkes have
the correct amount of air pressure (PS!},
3, Every time you use the unit, check the blade If the blade is
bent or damaged, immediately replace the blade Also, make
sure the nut for the blade is tight,
4, Keep the blade(s) sharpened. Worn blades will cause the
ends of the grass to turn brown,
5. Do not cut or bag grass that is wet. Wet grass will not
discharge correctly Let the grass dry before cutting,
6, Use the left side of the mower housing to trim near an
object.
7.. Discharge the cut grass onto the mowed are& The result is a
more even discharge of cut grass.
8. When you mow large areas, start by turning to the right so
that the cut grass will discharge away from shrubs, fences,
driveways, etc_ After one or two rounds, mow in the opposite
direction making left turns until finished,
9 If the grass is very high, cut two times to decrease the load on
the engine First cut with the mower housing in the HIGH
position and then lower the mower housing for the
second cut,.
10 For better engine performance and an even discharge of the
cut grass, always operate the engine with the throttle in
FAST position,,
11o When you use a bagger, operate the engine with the throttle
in FAST position and the shift lever in first or second gear,
12,, For better cutting performance and a quality cut, mow with
the shift lever in one of the slower speed gears.
13 After each use, clean the bottom and top of the mower housing
for better performance. Also, a clean mower housing will
help prevent a fire,
