Cutting Grass with the Machine (continued)
4. Lower the cutting units completely with the lift/lower control lever.
5. Engage the PTO.
Note: The cutting units will not start.
Note: The engine speed automatically rises to high idle when you lower the cutting
units and activate the PTO switch.
6. Tap the lift/lower control lever rearward to lift the cutting units to the turnaround position.
Note: Tapping the lift/lower control lever without holding it raises the cutting units to the
turnaround position and stops the rotation of the reels until the cutting units are lowered.
7. Using the traction pedal, approach the mowing area slowly.
8. Once you reach the edge of the mowing area to start mowing, lower the cutting units
with the lift/lower control lever.
Note: Practice to ensure the cutting units do not lower early or mow an unintended
area.
9. Complete the mowing pass.
10. When nearing the opposite edge of the fairway (prior to reaching the edge of the
mowing area), tap the lift/lower control lever rearward to lift the cutting units to the
turnaround position.
11. Perform a tear-shaped turn to quickly line up for your next pass.
12. Press the lift/lower control lever to automatically lower the cutting units from the
turnaround position and continue mowing.
13. After mowing the desired area, follow the perimeter of the area to complete the cleanup
mow pass. This will ensure that all of the turf along the edge of the fairway where the
cutting units were being lifted and lowered is uniformly cut.
Note: Use the Virtual Pedal Stop (VPS) to temporarily set a lower max speed to
improve operating control while completing the cleanup pass.
Operating Tips
Overview of the Warning System
If a warning light comes on during operation, stop the machine immediately and correct the
problem before continuing operation. Serious damage could occur if you operate the
machine with a malfunction.
Overview of Mowing Patterns
This is the most effective method to prevent washboarding.
Change mowing patterns often to minimize a poor after-cut appearance from repeatedly
mowing in the same direction.
