Operating
Your Lawn
Tractor
•
•
Never attempt to mulch if the lawn is damp. Wet
grass tends to stick to the underside of the cutting
deck preventing proper mulching of the clippings.
Do NOT attempt to mulch more than 1/3 the total
height of the grass or approximately 1-1/2 inches.
Doing so will cause the clippings to clump up
beneath the deck and not be mulched effectively.
•
•
Maintain a slow ground speed to allow the grass
clippings more time to effectively be mulched.
Always position the throttle control lever in the FAST
(rabbit) position and allow it to remain there while
mowing. Failing to keep the engine at full throttle
places strain on the tractor’s engine and does not
allow the blades to properly mulch grass.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the discharge
chute to operate the mower with the mulch kit installed.
Figure 4-6
To operate the cutting deck without mulching, simply
remove the mulch plug by unthreading the plastic wing
nut which fastens it to the cutting deck. This will allow
the clippings to discharge out the side. See Figure 4-6.
WARNING
Headlights
•
On some models, the lamps are ON whenever the
tractor’s engine is running. On other models, the
lamps are ON whenever the ignition key is moved out
of the STOP position.
Plan your mowing
pattern to avoid
discharge of materi-
als toward roads,
sidewalks, bystanders
and the like. Also,
avoid discharging
material against a
wall or obstruction
which may cause
discharged material to
ricochet back toward
the operator.
•
On all models, the lamps turn OFF when the ignition
key is moved to the STOP position.
NOTE: This Operators
