11.1 Operating the Mower
When rotating parts are in motion, serious injury may occur if caution is not used or danger
is not recognized. Never allow bystanders within 300 feet of the machine when in
operation. Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects – such as
gravel, rocks and debris. These conditions should be avoided.
The rotating parts in this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use. However, they could fail
upon impact with heavy solid objects – such as steel guard rails, concrete abutments, etc., causing them to be
thrown at a very high velocity. Never allow cutter head to contact such objects. Inspecting the cutting area for
such objects prior to mowing can help eliminate these potential hazards.
Once on location, lower the mower deck slightly above the material to be cut, so the mower does not have to
start under a load. Bring the R.P.M. of the tractor up to 1200 and engage the side mower. If a rear mower is
being used, allow the R.P.M. to return to 1200 before engaging the rear mower.
The flail mower deck should be carried so that part of the weight is carried by the ground roller. When the flail is
carried this way, the roller also follows the contour of the ground more easily during mowing operations.
When cutting small shrubs or brush, begin each pass at the top of the material and work down with each
consecutive pass. Use a low speed to allow the cutting blades time to mulch as well as cut the foliage. When
the initial pass has been made, disengage the mower and return the mower to the travel position. Return to the
starting point and make next pass, etc. The flail head is not intended for cutting heavy brush, or for continually
cutting brush. Wear or damage of the blades will occur rapidly when the flail cutter is used this way.
To ensure a clean cut, engine speed should be maintained at approximately 1800 – 2200 R.P.M. If the tractor
slows to less than 1800 R.P.M., shift to the next lower gear. DO NOT ride the clutch, this will cause premature
clutch failure.
The engine should not be operated at any time at more than 2400 R.P.M. on the tractor
tachometer.
The mower will operate more efficiently in tougher conditions and with less power if the knives are kept sharp.
If mower begins to vibrate, stop the tractor, check for wire wrapped around the cuttershaft or damaged knives.
When replacing knives, replace all knives with new knives to ensure proper balance so the mower will not
vibrate. Severe vibration will result, if knives with unequal wear are used. Follow the instructions in the
maintenance section closely when replacing knife blades.
If bystanders approach within 300 feet while mower is in operation turn mower switch “OFF”
immediately! After shutdown, never leave the tractor or allow bystanders to approach within
300 feet
of the unit until all motion stops completely.
When encountering a very severe condition which causes the tractor to stall, disengage mower, start tractor,
raise the mower from the cut. Shut off tractor and inspect the mower, blades and cuttershaft for damage before
engaging mower again.
If the blades jam or stop, disengage the clutch and raise the head slightly or back the tractor up. Normally, this
will clear the cutter head. If not, shut off the mower(s), raise the cutter heads, turn off the tractor and set the
parking brake. After all motion stops completely, leave the tractor and clear the cutting heads manually.
After the first day of operation, all bolts should be checked and tightened securely. This should be done
periodically to ensure the bolts do not become loose and cause damage to the tractor or mower, or injury to the
operator. Also, be sure to lubricate the unit as instructed in the
Maintenance Section.
