Help on Yard Machine 17 Hp LT- How to use blades and control it ??

[Clueless27]

My family recently bought a house and the old homeowners happened to leave their lawnmower.. So we are trying to use it. My grandpa has one similar to it but I've only ridden it for fun, so I don't know how to control the blades. I just need to know what everything means and how to use the blades properly.. So the basic things I should know.. Also it has a bagger attached to it. What does the bagger do ? and can you take it off ? how ?

Should be a lever to throw sometimes called a PTO to engage the blades. Also there is a lever to set your deck height for height to cut grass at. Set throttle on rabbit and use first or second gear on shifter. If you have a brand, model number I can find a owners manual for you to download and read as you really should familierize yourself with the controls and safety instructions.

Here is one to download for the Yard Machine as yours may be similar.
