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 horse-
power and ground speeds of approximately 3-5mph. If finer shredding results are de-
sired, adjust the deck to level or slightly lower in the rear. This method will keep foli-
age 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 rec-
ommended unless a
PTO speed of 540 RPM can be maintained.
ROTARY MOWER OPERATION
STEP 1
Before each use perform the maintenance described in maintenance section. (page
22)
STEP 2
Read, understand, and follow the information on safety training, preparation, starting
and stopping safety, operational safety, transport safety warning sections of this man-
ual (pages 11 thru 16)
STEP 3
With tractor running, lower rotary mower into working position.
STEP 4
With the tractor at idle RPM, engage PTO and slowly advance throttle to 540 PTO
RPM. NOTE: Rotary mower designed to run at
540 PTO RPM
only.
STEP 5
Select a low gear for the tractor and begin to mow. Tractor ground speed is to be
controlled by gear selection only and not engine speed. Tractor ground speed should
allow rotary mower to maintain 540 PTO RPM and thus maximum blade tip speed.
NOTE:
Do not allow the tractor engine or rotary mower to bog down or stall. This
causes undue wear and tear on the mower and tractor. If this continues to happen re-
duce ground speed and raise cutting height of rotary mower until the
540 PTO RPM is
able to be maintained.
Never attempt to clean out a plugged discharge chute until the tractor has
been shut down and the mower blades have completely stopped.
STEP 6
After each use clean all debris from the top and bottom of the rotary mower. Re-
place any missing or illegible safety decals. Inspect for any damaged or worn parts
and replace before next use. Store rotary mower in a dry environment.
