ADJUSTING MOW SPEED
To determine mow speed, run a time check on how fast the
unit travels in a distance of 50’ (15.24 M). Prepare a level
surface with enough room to start and end beyond the 50’
marks.
Place a stake in the ground where you want to begin timing
the unit. Measure and place another stake at a distance of
50’ (15.24 M). Lower the cutting heads and press the direc
-
tion pedal forward so the unit is traveling at full throttle (the
cutting heads should be in the neutral position when timing
the unit).
Begin timing the unit when the centre of the front tire aligns
with the first stake. Stop timing when the centre of the front
tire aligns with the stake placed at 50’ (15.24 M). Estimated
time for 3.8 mph (6.1 Km/hr) will be approximately 8.8 to 9.2
seconds. If there is a significant difference in the times listed
above, you can adjust the mow speed as follows.
