Engaging the PTO
Engaging the PTO transfers power to the cutting deck or other 
(separately available) attachments. To engage the PTO:
Move the Throttle/Choke control lever to the FAST (rabbit) 
1. 
position.
Push the PTO/Blade Engage lever forward into the engaged 
2. 
(ON) position.
NOTE: Always operate the tractor with the Throttle/Choke 
control lever in the FAST (rabbit) position for the most 
efficient use of the cutting deck or other (separately available) 
attachments.
Mowing
WARNING! 
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.
WARNING! 
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.
Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass is prone to weed 
• 
growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.
Always operate the tractor with the throttle lever in the 
• 
FAST (rabbit) position while mowing.
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 attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds or 
• 
extremely tall grass. Your tractor is designed to mow lawns, 
NOT clear brush.
Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades when worn.
