Adjustments - Cub Cadet 3206 Operator's Manual

Mowing
WARNING:
To avoid possi-
ble injury, never direct the
discharge of material toward
bystanders or allow anyone
near the machine while in op-
eration. Although the area
has been supposedly cleared
of foreign objects, small ob-
jects may be picked up and
discharged by the mower.
This tractor can be equipped with one
of Cub Cadet's high quality mowing
decks. The following information will
be helpful when using a Cub Cadet
mowing deck with your tractor.
For best results it is recommended that
the first two laps should be cut with the
discharge thrown towards the center.
After the first two laps, reverse the direc-
tion to throw the discharge to the outside
for the balance of cutting. This will give a
better appearance to the lawn.
SECTION 8: ADJUSTMENTS
Seat Adjustment
WARNING:
Do not adjust
the seat when the tractor is
moving, as this could cause
the operator to lose control
of the tractor.
For the comfort of the operator, an
easy to operate adjustable seat, with
arm rests, is a feature of this tractor.
When mounting or dismounting the
tractor, rotate upward the arm rest on
the side of the tractor from which you
are mounting or dismounting. Once
seated, rotate the arm rest downward.
To adjust the seat forward or back,
slide the seat adjustment lever to the
left and reposition the seat to the
desired location. Once you have found
a comfortable position, release the
seat adjustment lever. See Figure 13.
Do not cut the grass too short, as the
mower will tend to scalp the grass.
Short grass invites weed growth and
yellows quickly in dry weather.
Mowing should be done with the
engine at full throttle. Do not mow at
high ground speed.
During certain times of the year and
under some conditions, the mower
may leave streaks of uncut grass.
Streaking may occur when attempting
to mow heavy weeds and tall grass.
Under these conditions it may be
necessary to go back over the cut
area a second time to get a clean cut.
The following practices
eliminate streaking:
• Mow the area more often so the
grass doesn't get too tall and heavy.
• Operate the tractor at full throttle
and slower forward speeds.
• Keep the blades sharp and replace
the blades when worn.
