To raise the cutting deck, move the deck lift lever to the left, then 

place it in the notch best suited for your application. Refer to 

Setting The Cutting Height earlier in this section.

To help avoid blade contact or a 

thrown object injury, keep bystanders, helpers, 

children and pets at least 75 feet from the machine 

while it is in operation. Stop machine if anyone 

enters the area.

The following information will be helpful when using the cutting 

deck with your tractor:

Plan your mowing pattern to avoid 

discharge of materials 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.

• 

Do not mow at high ground speed, especially if a mulch kit 

or grass collector is installed.

• 

For best results it is recommended that the first two laps be 

cut with the discharge thrown towards the center. After the 

first two laps, reverse the direction to throw the discharge 

to the outside for the balance of cutting. This will give a 

better appearance to the lawn.

• 

Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass invites weed 

growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.

• 

Mowing should always be done with the engine at full 

throttle. 

• 

Under heavier conditions it may be necessary to go back 

over the cut area a second time to get a clean cut. 

• 

Do NOT attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds and 

extremely tall grass. Your tractor is designed to mow lawns, 

NOT clear brush.

• 

Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades when worn. 

Refer to Cutting Blades in the Service section of this manual 

for proper blade sharpening instructions.

• 

The Headlights are ON whenever the tractor’s engine is 

running. 

• 

The lamps turn OFF when the ignition key is moved to the 

STOP position.
