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 on page 22 of this 
manual for proper blade sharpening instructions.

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.

On all models, the lamps turn OFF when the ignition 
key is moved to the STOP position.
