The rotation of the right wheel is reduced and the machine turns to the right. Turning on the spot can be achieved by moving one control backward (behind the neutral position) and carefully moving the other steering control forward from its neutral position. Operating on hills Read the Safety Instructions “Driving on Slopes” in the “Safety Instructions”. WARNING! Do not drive up or down hills with slopes greater than 10 degrees. Do not drive across slopes. • The slowest speed possible should be used before starting up or down hills. • Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills. • If stopping is absolutely necessary, pull drive levers into the neutral position and push to the outside of the unit and engage the parking brake. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Control levers return to neutral when released. This may cause the mower to suddenly stop. Stopping conditions Released parking brake • To restart movement, release the parking brake. • Pull the control levers back to the center of the mower and press forward to regain forward motion. • Make all turns slowly. English-30 OPERATION Mowing Tips • Observe and flag rocks and other fixed objects to avoid collisions. • Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it until the desired mowing result is attained. The average lawn should be cut to 2^" (64 mm) during the cool season and over 3" (76 mm) during the hot months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow often after moderate growth. For best cutting performance, grass over 6" (15 cm) in height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut relatively high; the second to the desired height. • The mowing result will be best with a high engine speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and low speed (the rider moves slowly). If the grass is not too long and dense, the driving speed can be increased without negatively affecting the mowing result. • The finest lawns are obtained by mowing often. The lawn becomes more even and the grass clippings more evenly distributed over the mown area. The total time taken is not increased as a higher operating speed can be used without poor mowing results. • Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result is poorer because the wheels sink into the soft lawn, clumps build, and the grass clippings fasten under the cowling. • Hose the mower deck underside with water after each use. When cleaning, the mower deck shall be raised into the transport position. Make sure the mower is cooled and the engine is off. • Use compressed air to clean top surface of the deck. Avoid flooding water on top surface, engine and electrical components. • When the mulching kit is used, it is important that the mowing interval is frequent. WARNING! Clear the lawn of stones and other objects that can be thrown out by the blades. Mowing pattern A WARNING! Never drive the rider on terrain that slopes more than 10 degrees. Mow slopes up and down, never side to side. Avoid sudden directional changes. English-31 OPERATION Stopping the Engine Allow the engine to idle a minute in order to attain normal operating temperature before stopping it, if it has been worked hard. Avoid idling the engine for longer periods, as there is a risk of the spark plugs fouling. • Disengage the mower deck by depressing the blade switch. 8011-668 Disengage the mower deck • Raise the mower deck by depressing the pedal forward to the transport position. • When the machine is standing still, activate the parking brake by pulling the lever upward. • Move the throttle to the minimum position (tortoise symbol). Turn the ignition key to the stop position. • Move the steering controls outward. • Remove key. Always remove key when leaving the mower to prevent unauthorized use. 8050-779 Raise the mower deck IMPORTANT INFORMATION Leaving the ignition switch in any other position than “OFF” will cause the battery to be discharged. English-32 OPERATION Moving by Hand A WARNING! Make no adjustments without: ♦ the engine stopped ♦ the ignition key removed ♦ the parking brake activated Unlocking Transmission When pushing or pulling the mower, be sure to engage the IZT (Integrated Zeroturn Transaxle) bypass linkages. • Always turn off engine before engaging or disengaging the hydro release (free wheel) lever. Never attempt to move the lever with the engine running. • Lift the seat to access release levers. Push the hydro release levers toward the rear of the machine and inward until notches lock in place on frame. Release park brake. • To engage the transmissions, move the release levers outward so they return to normal position 8050-767 Bypass linkages English-33 MAINTENANCE Maintenance Schedule The following is a list of maintenance procedures that must be performed on the machine. For those points not described in this manual, visit an authorized service workshop. An annual service carried out by an authorized service workshop is recommended to maintain your machine in the best possible condition and t...
