Since mulching requires more horsepower than broadcasting, using a slower ground speed is vitally important for proper mulching operation. HOW MUCH GRASS TO MULCH The best mulching action typically results from cutting only the top 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch of grass blade. This provides short clippings which decompose properly (much more quickly than longer clippings). The ideal cutting height will vary with climate, time of year, and quality of your lawn. We recommend that you experiment with both the cutting height and ground speed until you achieve the best cut. Start with a high cutting height and using progressively lower settings until you find a cutting height that is matched to your mowing conditions and preferences. ATTACHING A TRAILER The maximum weight of a towed trailer should be less than 200 lbs (91kg). Secure the trailer with a appropriately sized clevis pin (A, Figure 12) and clip (B). Excessive towed loads can cause loss of traction and loss of control on slopes. Reduce towed weight when operating on slopes. The surface being driven on greatly impacts traction and stability. Wet or slippery surfaces can greatly reduce traction and the ability to stop or turn. Carefully evaluate the surface conditions before operating the unit and trailer, and never operate on slopes greater than 10°. See SLOPE OPERATION and TOWED EQUIPMENT in the safety section of this manual for additional safety information. A B Figure 12. Trailer Weight Recommendations A. Clevis Pin B. Clip Figure 11.

Push or pull the top of the roll bar (C) forward against the rubber stops (D) and remove the retainer pins (B). 3. Lower the roll bar and reinstall the retainer pins and hair pin clips to secure the roll bar in the down position (see insert, Figure 13). To raise the roll bar: 1. Pull the hair pin clips (A) out of the retainer pins (B) and remove the retainer pins. 2. Raise the roll bar (C) until the rubber stops (D) contact the upright tubes. 3. Push or pull the top of the roll bar forward against the rubber stops and reinstall the retainer pins and hair pin clips to secure the roll bar in the raised position. WARNING C B A D D C Figure 13.

THERE IS NO ROLL OVER PROTECTION WHEN THE ROLL BAR IS DOWN Lower the roll bar only when necessary and NEVER remove it. Do NOT use seat belt when the roll bar is down. Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance permits. Do NOT jump off if mower tips. Operation 23 Operation Operation STORAGE Temporary Storage (30 Days Or Less) Remember, the fuel tank will still contain some gasoline, so never store the unit indoors or in any other area where fuel vapor could travel to any ignition source. Fuel vapor is also toxic if inhaled, so never store the unit in any structure used for human or animal habitation. Here is a checklist of things to do when storing your unit temporarily or in between uses: • Keep the unit in an area away from where children may come into contact with it. If there’s any chance of unauthorized use, remove the spark plug (s) and put in a safe place. Be sure the spark plug opening is protected from foreign objects with a suitable cover. • If the unit can’t be stored on a reasonable level surface, chock the wheels. • Clean all grass and dirt from the mower. Long Term Storage (Longer Than 30 Days) Before you store your unit for the off-season, read the Maintenance and Storage instructions in the Safety Rules section, then perform the following steps: 1. Drain crankcase oil while engine is hot and refill with a grade of oil that will be required when unit is used again. 2. Prepare the mower deck for storage as follows: a. Remove mower deck from the unit. b. Clean underside of mower deck. c. Coat all bare metal surfaces with paint or light coat of oil to prevent rusting. 3. Clean external surfaces and engine. 4. Prepare engine for storage. See engine owner’s manual. 5. Clean any dirt or grass from cylinder head cooling fins, engine housing and air cleaner element. 6. Cover air cleaner and exhaust outlet tightly with plastic or other waterproof material to keep out moisture, dirt and insects. 7. Completely grease and oil unit as outlined in the Normal Care section. 8. Clean up unit and apply paint or rust preventative to any areas where paint is chipped or damaged. 9. Be sure the battery is filled to the proper level with water and is fully charged. Battery life will be increased if it is removed, put in a cool, dry place and fully charged about once a month. If battery is left in unit, disconnect the negative cable. WARNING Never store the unit, with gasoline in engine or fuel tank, in a heated shelter or in enclosed, poorly v...
