MOWER
ATTACHING MOWER TO TRACTOR:
- Operate latch control to open hitch latches.
- Drive tractor into position aligning the quick hitch.
- Be sure both latches engage fully and and are placed in the locked position.
-
Stop engine!
Do not attempt to install drive belt with engine running.
- Release idler assembly to facilitate easy installation of the drive belt.
- Put belt over drive pulleys and engage or adjust idler assembly.
(See Power Unit Operator’s Manual for PTO belt tension adjustments.)
- Set mower to desired cutting height.
- Start engine and engage PTO slowly to prevent shock load on mower components.
- Mow with front lift lever in “FLOAT” position only.
REAR WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS
The table of requirements for rear weights is based upon average mowing conditions and operator’s weight
of 150 lbs. The recommendations may vary with the weight of the operator, other accessories, and the
mowing conditions. It is the operator’s responsibility to determine the correct amount of weight needed to
improve stability. All weights must be removed when the mower is removed. (See Caution in Power Unit
Operator’s manual.)
