Make sure Deector Chute is in-

ing position.
To avoid injury never direct the

torque all fastening hardware,
including blades end spindle
retaining hardware after the rst
hour of operation.

CAUTION
Safe operation of the Ride on Mow-
er is the responsibility of the opera-
tor.
Operator must be familiar with Ride
on Mower controls and how they
function, and all safety precautions
before starting operation.
The mower is designed as a finish
cut mower.
Do not allow anyone but the opera-
tor on the Ride on Mower. Never al-
low riders on Ride on Mower.
The deck cutting height is set by
positioning the Clevis pin at the rear
three-point Hitch area and allowing
the Clevis pin to rest on the draw
bar. Refer to "Cutting height. Ad-
justment" section of this manual for
proper adjustment.
The anti-scalp wheels on each side
of the mower deck can serve as a
guide for mowing.
When mowing, position the mower
deck such that the anti-scalp wheel
overlaps the edge of the grass
previously cut. This will assure full
mower cut coverage.
Mowing should be performed with
the Ride on Mower engine operating
at the recommended RPM.
Do not mow at high ground speed.
Operating at recommended RPM
will insure proper blade speed for
effective cutting and discharge of
grass from the deck.
For best results, it is recommended
that the rst two passes around the
area to be mowed has the discharge
chute directed towards the center.
After the rst two passes have been
completed, reverse direction to have
the discharge chute pointed out-
ward.
This will give a better appearance to
the lawn.
