4.6 ENGAGING THE DECK DRIVE (CUTTER
BLADES)

1. Set the throttle at about 3/4 speed. Do not attempt to

engage the deck drive at high speed as this shortens
the electric clutch life — use only moderate engine
speed when engaging the deck drive.

2. Engage the deck drive by pulling out on the yellow

switch, located on the instrument panel, (Figure 4-4)
to the engage position.

-NOTE-

A squealing noise may be heard when engaging
or disengaging the deck drive. It is caused by
the electric clutch plates meshing as the mower
comes up to speed. This is normal.

3. To disengage the deck drive, push the switch in to the

disengage position.

4. Always operate the engine at full throttle to properly

maintain cutting speed. If the engine starts to lug
down, reduce the forward speed and allow the
engine to operate at maximum RPM.
