2.   To set the cruise control, while driving at the desired speed, push the cruise control lever under the steering wheel to  down till sets.

3.  If the engine begins to labor while cutting high or wet grass, drive slower and/or increase the cutting deck height by one or more levels, than make a second pass at the recommended cutting height.

4.   Cutting the grass at slower speeds allows for better mulching of the grass and less grass cutting build-up.

5.   If heavy grass cuttings begin to build up on the flying field, make another pass over the cutting build-ups.

6.   Cut near the fences and field edges with the left side of the mower nearest the fence.

7.   If the blades stop while cutting, check the PTO knob, you may have pushed it in with your knee.

8.  Do not try to cut too close to the fence near the road with our new mower.  The grade is sloped and there are small rocks there. This may cause the mowing blades to hit the rocks and the dirt slope.  Use the old mower or a weed eater.

9.  If you need to push the mower when it is not running, there is a transmission release lever in rear on the right side. Directions are posted near the lever.
