Operation Instructions
The Finishing Mower is designed to be used on a tractor with a standard category 1 three-point
hitch. See the specification sheet for horsepower requirements. Using excessive power will
shorten the life of the drive train components.
Connecting to Tractor
Park the mower and tractor on a level dry area free of debris and foreign objects.
1. Slowly back the tractor up to the machine.
2. Adjust the three-point arms to align with the mower lift pins.
3. Stop the tractor, set the parking brake and remove the ignition key before dismounting.
4. Slide the three-point arms on the lift pins and lock in place with the clips supplied.
5. With the tractor engine shut off, attach the PTO shaft. Both ends of the PTO have a standard
6-spline end with a spring-loaded locking collar. Turn the round collar at the ends of the PTO
clockwise to slide onto the splined shafts. The spring-loaded pin in the PTO yoke must lock
into the groove on the splined shaft on the gearbox and tractor. Always check to see that both
ends of the PTO shaft are securely attached every time the mower is used. This should always
be done with the tractor engine shut off. Attach the safety chains supplied with the PTO shaft,
allowing sufficient slack for the driveline during turns and operation. Check booklet attached
to the PTO for instructions.
NOTE: At lease one third of the telescoping length of the PTO should overlap when the mower
is in operation.
6. Attach the top link on the tractor to the link pin assembled in the hitch weldment (#45). Adjust
the turnbuckle on the tractor top link so that the upper lift bracket hangs straight down with the
tractor and mower both on level ground
Field Use Preparation
• Read and understand the Operator’s Manual and all safety signs before operating.
• The implement and tractor should be on a dry level area, clear of debris.
• Lower the three point arms on the tractor so they line up with the mounting pins on the
implement.
• Stop the engine and set the brake.
• Mount the lower lift pins first and then adjust the implement angle using the turnbuckle on
the top link. Check that all the clips holding the three point pins are securely in place.
• Start the engine, and raise the implement slightly.
• Adjust the sway blocks or chains on the tractor so the mower is centered between the rear
wheels.
• Adjust the three-point hitch arms to level the implement from side to side.
• Adjust the turnbuckle on the top of the three-point hitch arms to level the implement from
front to back.
• Adjust the cutting height using the wheel spacers on the wheel yokes. The spacers should be
set at the same height on all four wheels.
• Check for proper air pressure in tires.
• Check tightness of belts, bolts, and other hardware.
