IDENTIFICATION
CHART
Hardware sizes given in the
illustrations throughout this
manual.
If a washer or nut is identified as
“washer, l/2” or “nut, l/2”, this
means the inside diameter is
l/2
inch
If a screw is identified as “screw,
l/2
x
2”,
this means the shaft
diameter is
l/2
inch and the
shaft of the screw is 2 inches
long. If a screw is identified as
“screw,
l/2
-
16 x
2”,
the number
“16” means that the screw has
16 threads per inch.

Safety Rules
a
Read these safety rules and the safety rules in your Operator’s
Manual and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules
could result in loss of control of vehicle, severe personal injury
to yourself, or damage to property or equipment. The triangle
A
in the
text signifies important cautions or waminas which must be followed.
A
WARNING
When blower assembly is removed from mower deck, the deflector must be
properly installed.
1.
Know the tractor controls and how to stop
quickly. READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL.
2. Disengage the PTO, shut the engine off
and wait for all moving parts to stop before
attaching, adjusting, or disconnecting any
part of the collection system.
3.
Check the collection system to make sure
it is bolted tightly to tractor.
4. Check the latch handle to make sure it is
engaged so the dump cart’s box is locked
to the frame.
5.
Look behind to make sure the area is clear
before backing up.
6.
DO NOT turn sharply when the tractor or
rider is alongside a building or any object.
7.
DO NOT carry passengers in the cart.
8.
ACAUTION:
For added tractor stability
and to prevent tipping or loss of control;
a.
Use reduced speed on uneven ground
and when turning corners.
b. Reduce loads on hillsides. It is rec-
ommended that the collection system
be kept only half full when negotiating
any slopes. Start mowing on slopes
when the collection system is empty.
c.
Mow up and down the face of slopes;
never across the face of any slope.
9.
A
WARNING: When operating on
slopes, use front counterweight. Never
operate on slopes greater than 30%
(16.7’).
IO.
ACAUTION:
Objects may be thrown
from mower.
For your safety:
a. DO NOT remove the cover while the
mower blades are turning. Shut off the
engine before opening the door or
removing the grass chute.
b. Be sure the complete collection
system is in place (cover secure and
grass chute connected) before
operating the mower.
c. DO check the twin bag cover fre-
quently for wear and tear. Replace with
new cover for safety protection.
11. For best results when mowing grass: Set
the mower to cut from 1 to 2 inches of
grass. If grass isexceptionallytall,setyour
mower as high as possible for first cutting.
Lower cutting height at succeeding
cuttings until proper height is reached. It
may be necessary to mow tall grass at a
slower tractor speed.

Operation
For safety reasons grass and debris are to be
removed only after engine is shut off, key
removed, and all moving parts stopped.
BEFORE OPERATION
Clear the lawn of all sticks, stones, wire and other
debris which maybecaught
orthrown
bythemower
blades.
Clean the tube with mild detergent (other products
may damage tube). Inspection windows can be
removed to be cleaned. Make sure windows
are
securely in place before operating.
Check grass condition. If wet, wait until later in the
day. If grass is wet plugging may occur.
For efficient bagging, air circulation under the
mower deck, through the chute and into the bag is
very important. For this reason, you should remove
grass and debris from underside of mower deck,
discharge chute and screen inside cover.
The blower housing and tubeshould be removed for
cleaning. Remove the tube by unlatching the lower
tube clip from blower housing.
If desired, the bags can be lined with 30 gallon trash
bags for easy disposal.
Inspect the grass bags for wear or damage. Make
sure that there is a snug fit between mower deck,
blower housing, tubes, and grass bag cover.
OPERATION
Grass should be cut often, and not tooshort. If grass
is too long or lush it may be necessary to keep
ground speed to a minimum or to cut only half the
width to prevent clogging. If grass is high, operate
with mower in high cutting position. Cut
the,grass
again in lower cutting position, if desired.
To check if grass is flowing up tube, view tube
through rear inspection window. Do not open cover
with mower engaged.
To check if grass bags are full, reach back and feel
top of right bag (left bag will fill first) or view tube
discharge through front inspection window in
cover.
If a large aniount of cut grass is spilling out from
under deck, the tube may be plugged
orgrass
bags
are full. Shut off
tractor,disengage
PTO, and allow
all moving parts to stop before disconnecting tube.
Always operate with throttle at full speed.
OPERATION WITHOUT TURBO
For operation without turbo, the deflector must be
properly installed in the down position and retained
by spring latch.
OnWdecks,thearborpulleycover
must be rotated into correct operating positionover
latch.
To remove turbo, reverse steps 15
-
16 (38” mower) or
steps 14
-
17 (44’ and 50’ mower).

either pull the liner out, or turn the bag upside down
and allow the filled liner to slide out:
