Operation
Side Discharge
The mower has a hinged discharge chute that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Without the discharge chute or complete grass
catcher assembly mounted in place, you and
others are exposed to blade contact and thrown
debris.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and
thrown debris will cause injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• NEVER remove the discharge chute from the
mower because the discharge chute routes
material down toward the turf. If the discharge
chute is ever damaged, replace it immediately.
• Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
• Never try to clear the discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the power take off
(PTO) to “OFF” and rotate the ignition key to
“STOP.” Also remove the ignition key and pull
the wires off the spark plugs.
Operating the Power Take Off
(PTO)
The power take off (PTO) engages and disengages power
to the electric clutch.
While the ignition key is in RUN or LIGHTS position and
the power take off (PTO) is engaged, the PTO indicator
light will be on. When this light is ON, it is a reminder:
the implement is being powered and the starter will not
crank while the PTO is engaged. Always turn off the PTO
before getting off the seat.
Engaging the Power Take Off (PTO)
1. Depress the brake pedal to stop the machine.
2. Move the throttle lever to FAST.
