Understanding the
Diagnostic Light
The machine is equipped with a diagnostic light
which indicates if the electronic controller senses an
electronic malfunction. The diagnostic light is located
on the InfoCenter, above the display screen
56). When the machine is functioning properly and
the key switch is moved to the O
diagnostic light turns on briefly to indicate the light is
working properly. When a machine advisory message
is displayed, the light illuminates when the message is
present. When a fault message is displayed, the light
blinks until the fault is resolved.

Operating Tips

Becoming Familiarized 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
Start the engine and move the engine-speed switch
to the F position. Move the Enable/Disable switch

lever 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.
Transporting the Machine
Move the Enable/Disable switch to the D
position and raise the cutting units to the T

machine or cutting units. Use extra care when
operating the machine on slopes. Drive slowly and
avoid sharp turns on slopes to prevent rollovers.
Lower the cutting units when going downhill for
steering control.
