BE-RCRxxxG USER MANUAL
OPERATION
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
To prevent blades from striking the ground, your rough cut mower should be set to the highest position
that will give you the desired cutting height. By setting your mower up this way, you reduce blade wear and
stress on the mower. Moving at regular intervals will produce far better results than periodic mowing.
Raise rough cut mower off the ground with the tractor and SECURELY BLOCK IN POSITION. Remove M10
round head carriage bolt from adjusting bracket.
Move the A Frame up or down to desired cutting height. Reinstall M10 round head carriage bolt and tighten
to secure in position.
Note: For best results in heavier cutting conditions adjust the deck so the rear of the mower is approximately
2” higher than the front. This method requires less horsepower and ground speeds of approximately 3-5mph.
If finer shredding results are desired, adjust the deck to level or slightly lower in the rear. This method will
keep foliage under the deck longer resulting in finer pieces. The down side of this method is if it takes a lot
more horsepower and very slow ground speed. This method is not recommended unless a PTO speed of
540RPM can be maintained.
ROUGH CUT MOWER OPERATION
STEP 1
Before each use, perform the maintenance described in maintenance section.
STEP 2
Read, understand, and follow the information on safety, preparation, starting and stopping safety,
operational safety and transport safety warning sections of this manual.
STEP 3
With tractor running, lower rough-cut mower into working position.
STEP 4
With the tractor at idle RPM, engage PTO and slowly advance throttle to approximately 540 PTO RPM.
NOTE: The rough-cut mower was designed to run at 540 PTO RPM.
STEP 5
Select a low tractor gear and begin to mow. Tractor ground speed is to be controlled by gear selection only
and not engine speed. Tractor PTO speed should allow rough cut mower to maintain 540 PTO RPM and thus
maximum blade tip speed.
NOTE: Do not allow the tractor engine or rough-cut mower to bog down or stall. This causes unnecessary
wear and tear on the mower and tractor. If this continues to occur, reduce ground speed and/or raise the
cutting height of the rough-cut mower.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN OUT A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE UNTIL THE MOWER BLADES HAVE
COMPLETELY STOPPED AND THE TRACTOR HAS BEEN SHUT OFF.
STEP 6
After each use, clean all debris from the top and bottom of the rough-cut mower. Replace any missing or
illegible safety decals. Inspect for any damaged or worn parts and replace before next use. Store the rough-
cut mower in a dry environment.
