Operators should be familiar with the mower and tractor and all safety practices before starting operation. Read the safety information on 4 to 7. This mower is designed for lawn or grass mowing, It is not designed for rough condi- tions or heavy weed mowing, It is equipped with suction type blades for best results in lawn mowing. Recommended mowing speed for most conditions is from two to five mph. WARNING Do not allow children or unquafified persons to operate equipment Keep bystanders away from equipment while it is in operation. Before working underneath, raise mower, install transport lock and block mower securely. Hydraulic system leak down and failure of mech- anicaf or hydraulic system can cause equipment to drop.

OPERATION ___________________ _ Cutting Height Adjustment Mower cutting height is raised. lowered, and maintained by adjusting caster and gauge wheels. Refer to figure 1 and accompanying chert for approximate outting heights. Raise mower with tractor hydraulics to adjust gauge and caster wheels. It is important that all three adjustments be the same. To set cutting height, match numbers shown in illustration. (Example: hole 2 in caster adjustment with hole 2 in gauge wheel adjustment, etc.) 2 I Approximate Cutting Height 1-1/2# 2 1/8" 2-3/4" 3-318# 4" Position 1 2 3 4 5 Figure 1 - Cutting Height Adjustment IMPORTANT - Avoid very low cutting heights. Striking the ground with blades gives one of the most damaging shook loads a mower can encounter and, if this occurs re- peatedly it will cause damage to mower and drive. 11

____________________________________ _ o p ~ n O N Transport Lock Installation There may be occasions when you would like to use your tractor for tasks other than mowing but do not want to remove the mower, For your convenience we have provided a method to pin and lock the mower up and free tractor auxiliary valve for im* plement use. Make sure mid-PTO is disengaged. Raise mower with tractor hydraulics, Remove safety pin (3) and clevis pin (4) from mowing position "8* in front lift stop assembly (1) and install pin through lock-up bracket on front rockshaft assembly and l o c k ~ u p bar (2) in position 'W, Secure with safety pin (3), Restore the mower to the intended use by removing safety pin (3) and clevis pin (4) from lock-up bar.

OPERATION ______________________________________ __ Removing Mower from Tractor Should it become necessary to remove the mower from the tractor, it may be discon- nected and the lift mechanism left 00 the tractor. Lift mower off of ground and remove adjustment pins from gauge wheels and caster wheel points. Lower mower to ground and shut off engine. NOTE: If the front tire outside width exceeds 53 inches, the left front caster arm must be removed. Remove drive shaft from tractor mid-PTO shaft. Pull the s p r i n g ~ l o a d e d pins on the front mounting plates to release the front mounting channel. Pull the spring*loaded pins on the front rockshaft to release the froot mower lift bers. Remove rear lift bars from rear rockshaft and flip bars down. Refer to Assembly section for locatioos. Raise mower lift mechanism with tractor hydraulics. Refer to previous section 00 Tran- sport Lock Installation and pin lift mechanism up. . Place blocks between front tires and mower frame.

OPERATION ___________________ _ Pre-Operation Check Ust WARNING Operate tractor mid-PTO at 2000 rpm. You may not be able to stop the tractor safely if the clutch or brake pedal mechanisms are improperly adjusted, allowing them to contact mower components. When the mower lift stops are installed as instructed In this manual, properly adjusted clutch and brake pedal mechanisms will not contact mower components, You should frequently check that the tractor clutch and brake pedal mechanisms ara in adjustment. If the clutch or brake pedal mechanisms can contact mower com- ponents, do not operate umil properly adjusted. _ _. _ Do not operate mower unless belt shield and discharge chute are in place and securely fastened. __ . Check that mower is properly and securely attachad to tractor ensure blades are sharp and secure and cuttIng edge is positioned to lead in a clockwise rotaUOf'L __ Check that all hardware is properly installed and secured, _ Check to ensure spindles and. caster wheels are lubricated, __ When attaching drivellne yoke to tractor mid-PTO shaft, it is important that the spring-activated locking collar slides freely and the balls are seated in groove on mid-PTO shaft, _ Check mower cutting and attitude adjustment __ Raise mower carefu!1y and check to be sure it does not come In contact with hydraulic Boos, Review and rollow rules on pages 4 to 7. IMPORTANT Mower vibration tends to loosen bolts during operation, All hardware should be checked regular!y to maintain proper torque. It is a good practice to check mower before each operation to ensure aU bolts are secure. Power for operating mower is supplied by tractor mid PTO. Do not exceed tractor manufacturer's rated mid-PTO of 2000 rpm maximum, Know how to stop traciorand mower quickly in case of an emergency, Should mower become plugged, causing belt to slip for over two seconds, maneuver equipment into a previously cut area and allow mower to clear accumulated material, Continue running at least two minutes, allowing pulleys to cool. Stopping the mower with belt in contact with a very hot pulley will bake and ruin belt CAUTION Stop mower and tractor immedistely upon striking an ob- struction. Turn off engine, remove key, inspect and repair any damage before resuming operation. 14

OPERATION __________________ _ Operating Technique Proper ground speed will depend upon the terrain, the height, type and density of material to be cut Normally, ground speed will range from two to five mph. Tall dense material should be cut at a low speed; thin m e d i u m ~ h e i g h t material can be cut at a faster ground speed. PJways operate tractor mid PTO at 2000 rpm. This is necessary to maintain proper blade speed and produce a clean cut. Under certain conditions, tractor tires may roll some grass down and preverrl it from being cut at the same height as the surrounding area When this occurs, reduce your ground speed, but maintain 2000 rpm mid-PTO speed, The Lower ground speed will permit grass to at least partially rebound. Under some conditions, grass will not rebound enough to be cut evenly. In general. lower cutting heights give a more even cut with less tendency to leave tire tracks. However, it is better to cut grass frequently rather than too short. Short grass deterior * ates rapidly in hot weather and invites weed growth during growing seasons. Follow local recommendations for the suitable cutting height in your area. When operating the mower, move the hydraulic control valve to the float poSition. This will allow the mower to follow ground contours. Tips Extremely tall material should be cut twice. Set mower at a higher cutting height for the first pass. Then cut at desired height at 9()<' to the first pass. Remember. sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and require less power. Analyze area to be cut to determine the best procedure. Consider height and type of grass and terrain type: hilly, level or rough. Plan your mowing pattem to travel straight forward whenever possible. Mow with uncut grass to the left This will distribute the clippings over the cut area. Discharging clippings over uncut grass will cause a b u i l ~ u p and may prevent uniform cutting. A DANGER Do not operate mower unless discharge chute Is installed. 15
