Operation With Turbo  
• Grass should be cut often but not too short. 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 too high, operate with  
mower in high cutting position. Cut the grass again in  
lower cutting position, if desired.  
• Before mowing, clear the lawn of all sticks, stones,  
wire and other debris which may be caught or thrown  
by the mower blades.  
• The blower housing should be removed for cleaning.  
If a large amount of cut grass is spilling out from  
under the deck, the tube may be plugged or grass  
bags are full. Shut off tractor, disengage the PTO,  
remove the key, and allow all moving parts to stop  
before disconnecting the tube.  
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 recommended 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.  
• Always operate at full throttle speed.  
When operating on slopes, use front counterweight.  
Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6% (10°).  
Know the tractor controls and how to stop quickly.  
READ THE TRACTOR OPERATOR’S MANUAL.  
Disengage the electric clutch (PTO). Shut off the  
engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts  
to stop before attaching, adjusting, or disconnecting  
any part of the collection system.  
Check the collection system to make sure it is bolted  
tightly to the tractor.  
Look behind to make sure the area is clear before  
backing up.  
Operation Without Turbo  
• For operation without the turbo, the deflector must be  
properly installed in the down position and retained  
by the spring latch.  
• To remove turbo, reverse the installation steps.  
Recommended Accessories  
• Front counterweight is recommended when using  
rear-mounted grass catcher.  
• On slopes over 17.6% (10°), use two rear wheel  
weights in addition to front counterweight.  
Always mow up and down the face of slopes, never across  
the face. Never mow on slopes greater than 30% (16.7  
degrees)  
DO NOT turn sharply when travelling alongside a  
building or any object.  
DO NOT carry passengers on the tractor.  
Read and obey all warning decals.  
NOTE: In these instructions, “left” and “right” are  
referred to as seen from the operating position.
