Driving on Slopes
Refer to the slope gauge in the Safe
Operation Practices section to help
determine slopes where you may not
operate safely.
WARNING
Do not operate on inclines with a slope in excess
of 20°/35% (a rise of approximately 4 feet every
10 feet). The machine could overturn and cause
serious injury.
1.
Always drive across slopes, never
up and down.
2.
Avoid turning downhill if possible.
Start at the bottom of a slope and
work upward. Always slow down
before turning.
3.
Use extra care and go slowly when
turning downhill.
Operating the PTO knob
Operate the PTO knob as follows:
1.
Move the throttle control lever (if
equipped) to approximately the
mid-throttle position.
2.
Pull the PTO knob switch upward to
the ENGAGED position.
3.
Advance the throttle lever
to the operating speed (full
engine speed).
4.
The operator must remain in the
mower seat at all times. If the
operator should leave the seat
without turning off the power take-
off switch, the mower's engine will
shut off.
Using the Mower Deck
WARNING
Make certain the area to be mowed is free of debris,
sticks, stones, wire, or other objects that can be
thrown by the rotating blades.
NOTE: Do not engage the mower deck
when lowered in grass. Premature wear
and possible failure of the "V" belt and
PTO clutch will result. Fully raise the deck
or move to a non-grassy area before
engaging the mower deck.
1.
Use the deck lift pedal (a) to raise
the deck to its highest position,
place the clevis pin (b) attached to
the mower into the desired index
hole on the deck height index, then
slowly release the deck lift pedal (a).
See Figure 3-6.
(b)
Figure 3-6
2.
Mow across slopes, not up and
down. If mowing a slope, start at
bottom and work upward to ensure
turns are made uphill.
3.
On the first pass pick a point on
the opposite side of the area to
be mowed.
4.
Engage the PTO knob and move
the throttle control to the FAST
position.
5.
Remove the clevis pin, raise the
deck to the highest (transport)
position, place the clevis pin in the
desired position and secure with
the clevis pin. Lower the mower
deck to the desired height setting.
6.
Slowly push the forward drive
pedal forward to move the mower
forward, and keep the mower
headed directly toward the
alignment point.
NOTE: The speed of the mower
will affect cut quality of the lawn.
Mowing at full speed will adversely
affect a high quality cut lawn.
Control the ground speed with the
drive pedals.
7.
When approaching the other
end of the strip, slow down or
stop before turning. A U-turn is
recommended unless a pivot or
zero turn is required.
8.
Align the mower with an edge
of the mowed strip and overlap
approximately 3".
9.
Direct the mower on each
subsequent strip to align with a
previously cut strip.
10. To prevent rutting or grooving of
the turf, if possible, change the
direction that the strips are mowed
by approximately 45° for the next
and each subsequent mowing.
Be careful when crossing gravel paths or driveways.
Disengage the PTO knob and raise the deck to the
highest/transport position before crossing.
NOTE: When stopping the mower
for any reason while on a grass
(a)
surface, always:
a.
b. Engage the parking brake.

SurePath Auto Steer System
Make certain the area to be mowed is free of debris,
sticks, stones, wire, or other objects that can be
thrown by the rotating blades.
The SurePath Auto Steer system will not detect
any objects or obstructions in the path of the
cutting deck or the machine. Always operate the
machine with care and attention. Stop the machine
immediately or manually steer the machine
around obstacles before resuming SurePath Auto
Steer Mode.
The SurePath Auto Steer system uses
GPS technology to semi-autonomously
control steering and turning capabilities
to achieve consistent stripes, reduce
turfing and maximize mowing efficiency.
Initializing SurePath Auto Steer Mode
1.
Start the mower. See instructions
provided in Starting the
Engine section.
2.
Indicator/Warning Lights will flash
blue while the SurePath Auto Steer
system is initializing.
3.
Once the system has initialized,
Indicator/Warning Lights will begin
flashing green. The SurePath Auto
Steer system is actively searching
for GPS signal.
