OPERATION
• Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result
is poorer because the wheels sink into the soft
lawn, clumps build, and grass clippings fasten
under the cowling.
• Hose the mower deck underside with water
after each use. When cleaning, the mower deck
shall be raised into the transport position. Make
sure the mower is cooled and the engine is off.
• Use compressed air to clean top surface of
the deck. Avoid flooding water on top surface,
engine and electrical components.
• When the mulching kit is used, it is important
that the mowing interval is frequent.
Moving Machine By Hand
When pushing or pulling the mower, engage the
EZT bypass linkages. The EZT bypass linkages
are located on the rear of the frame, below the
rear engine guard.
1. Raise the deck into the highest cutting
position.
2. Move the steering / park brake controls
inwards to the neutral position.
3. Pull the EZT bypass linkages up and out of
the keyhole slots. Release the levers with the
head outside the frame and held in the bypass
position.
4. To reengage the EZT's to drive, reverse the
above procedure.
Load the machine into truck or trailer by driving
slowly up the ramps. DO NOT LIFT! The machine
is not intended to be lifted by hand.
