OPERATION SECTION
When you get to the end of a pass, slightly raise the cutter (2-4”) before turning. never raise the
cutter entirely while the blades are turning. If the cutter must be raised higher than 12” from ground
level, disengage the tractor PtO and wait for all cutter rotation to come to a complete stop before
proceeding to raise the cutter. neVeR raise the cutter wings while the blades are turning.
When turning, the angle between the tractor and cutter should not be so great that a clattering of
the u-joints occurs. Sharp turns can cause premature failure of the joints and place pressure
on the tractor PtO shaft and could cause extensive mechanical damage to the cutter and tractor.
If the cutter is operated in conditions that require frequent sharp turning, the cutter should be
equipped with a Constant Velocity driveline. CV joints enable the tractor PtO shaft and cutter
driveline to be angled safely up to 80 degrees with no damage to the cutter or driveline.
Do not let the Blades turn when the Cutter Deck is raised for any reason, including
clearance or for turning. Raising the Cutter deck exposes the Cutting Blades which
creates a potentially serious hazard and could cause serious injury or even death
from objects thrown from the Blades.
Stay alert and watch for trees, low hanging limbs, power lines, and other overhead obstacles and
solid ground objects while you are operating. use care to avoid hitting these items.
When mowing across uneven areas such as road shoulders, ditch edges, and other uneven terrain,
position cutter so that one support wheel is near the highest point to prevent blades from cutting
into gravel or dirt which can cause rapid blade wear and extremely severe shock loads on the
drivetrain resulting in rapid wear or damage to these components. Blades contacting the ground
may cause objects to be thrown out from under the cutter deck. always avoid operating the cutter
at a height or position which may cause the blades to contact the ground. Cutting into the berm or
edge of the ditch will cause abnormal and accelerated blade wear and possible blade component
failure.

When you get to the end of a pass, slightly raise the
mower (2-4”) before turning. Never raise the
mower entirely while the blades are turning. If the
mower must be raised higher than 12” from ground
level, disengage the tractor PTO and wait for all
mower rotation to come to a complete stop before
proceeding to ra
ise the mower. NEVER raise the
mower wings while the blades are turning.
When turning, the angle between the tractor and
mower should not be so great that a clattering of
the U-joints occurs. Sharp turns can cause
premature failure of the joints and place pressure
on the tractor PTO shaft and could cause extensive
mechanical damage to the mower and tractor.
If the mower is operated in conditions that require
frequent sharp turning, the mower should be
equipped with a Constant Velocity driveline. CV
joints enable the tractor PTO shaft and mower
driveline to be angled safely up to 80 degrees with
no damage to the mower or driveline.
OPS-R-0027
Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any reason,
including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower deck exposes the
Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard and could
cause serious injury or even death from objects thrown from the Blades.
