If "jumper cables" are used for emergency starting, follow this procedure: IMPORTANT INFORMATION Your mower is equipped with a 12-volt negative grounded system. The other vehicle must also be a 12-volt negative grounded system. Do not use your mower battery to start other vehicles. To attach jumper cables · Connect each end of the RED cable to the POSITIVE (+) terminal on each battery, taking care not to short against chassis.

Release the parking brake by moving the lever downward. Your mower is equipped with an operator presence system. · 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. 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. [. . . ] Check that the right amount of oil is in the engine. Adjust the position of the steering controls.
