OPERATION
CUTTING SPEED
For best mowing results, it is important that blades be run at maximum speed. Set engine throttle lever in full throttle
position, thus providing proper blade speed and maximum engine horse-power.
Choose a ground speed which will provide the desired finish cut, maximum operator comfort and will not overload
the Mower drive. A slower ground speed will provide a smoother operating machine.
UNEVEN TERRAIN
WARNING:
Be
careful
when
operating
Tractor and Mower on
uneven ground.
In extremely uneven terrain, the front weights of Tractor should be used to improve stability.
Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent "hanging up" of the Tractor and Mower. Practice will
improve your skills in manoeuvering on rough terrain.
Avoid sudden starts and stops when travelling up or down hill.
Always mow down slopes, never up or across the face. Avoid operation on steep slopes.
Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping or loss of control.
GRASS DISCHARGE
This Mower was designed to provide a strong discharge to scatter clippings and prevent clogging in heavy cuttings.
When cutting lush, thick tall or wet grass shift to a slow ground speed setting and/or reduce width of cut to prevent
possible belt damage. FOR BEST CUTTING DO NOT MOW WHEN GRASS IS WET. Wet grass will cause clogging
and produce unsightly clumpings on lawn.
WARNING:
To avoid injury from
thrown objects keep discharge flap in
position and secure at all times.
The under side of Mower should be
cleaned out (sprayed with water)
after operation with the engine
stopped and blades not rotating.
If Mower becomes clogged, back unit out of uncut grass and try to clear deck by engaging the PTO. If deck does
not clear itself STOP engine, remove starter key and clean underside of deck using a stick or scraper.
