4. Adjust the cutting height on the wing mower so that it cuts at the same height as the tow
vehicle mower. Adjust each corner of the wing mower so that the distance form the smooth
surface to the bottom edge of the deck is equal to the cutting height minus 5/16”. The mower
blade cutting edge is 5/16” above the lower edge of the deck.
Note:
To mow in the lower half of the cutting range, set the front caster axles in the bottom
setting and set the anti-scalp wheels in the top hole. To mow in the upper half of the
cutting range (original factory setting), set the front caster axles in the top setting and
set the anti-scalp wheels in the bottom hole.
Note:
After the cutting height has been set, be sure to tighten the pivot bolts securely to
eliminate free pivoting of the front casters or rear axles. Snug the four bolts just beyond
the height adjust bolt so the front casters and rear axles can be adjusted up and down
but cannot move from side to side.

STARTING ENGINE
WARNING:
Set parking brake on tow vehicle.
Attach wing mower tongue to tow vehicle.
WARNING:
Do not start wing mower unless it is attached to the tow vehicle.
Turn on the fuel shut off valve (red colored rotating knob) located inline on the fuel hose. The
off
position on the valve is when the red handle lines up with the “O” symbol.
For Model C60BE:
Set the choke to the desired position.
Start engine and allow engine to warm up.
Set the engine speed at about half throttle and engage the mower blades clutch by pulling
outward on the PTO switch. (The PTO switch is located at the front of the mower deck on the
control panel.)
Note:
To help extend the life of the clutch the engine rpm should be placed as low as possible
before clutch engagement. If the engine should stall during clutch engagement, raise
the engine rpm until clutch engagement is possible.
CAUTION:
If the mower’s engine dies while in use, remove the wing mower from the
uncut area before attempting to engage the clutch. Inspect the blades for any obstructions
that may prevent blade engagement. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
premature clutch and belt failure or a fire.
Adjust engine speed to full throttle.
