turbocharger to cool down before shutting off the engine.
Failure to do so may lead to turbocharger trouble.
Before shutting off the engine, disengage all controls and
move the throttle to S . Moving the throttle to S
LOW LOW

Operating Tips

Becoming Familiar with the Machine
Before mowing grass, practice operating the machine in an
open area. Start and shut off the engine. Operate in forward
and reverse. Lower and raise the cutting units and engage and
disengage the reels. When you feel familiar with the machine,
practice operating up and down slopes at different speeds.
Understanding the Warning System
If a warning light comes on during operation, stop the
machine immediately and correct the problem before
continuing operation. Serious damage could occur if you
operate the machine with a malfunction.
Mowing Grass
Start the engine and move the engine speed switch to the
F position. Move the mow speed limiter to the M
AST OW
position. Move the PTO switch to the O position and use
N
the lift switch to control the cutting units (the front cutting
units are timed to lower before the rear cutting units). To
move forward and cut grass, press the traction pedal forward.
Driving the Machine in Transport Mode
Move the PTO switch to the O position and raise the
FF
cutting units to the transport position. Move the mow speed
limiter to the transport position. Be careful when driving
between objects so that you do not accidentally damage the
machine or cutting units. Use extra care when operating the
machine on slopes. Drive slowly and avoid sharp turns on
slopes to prevent rollovers.
