Fender Adjustment
When mowing short weeds and lawns, the Front Fender
(the small fender) should be on the front of the Mower
Hood, and the Rear Fender (The Larger Fender) on
the rear.
However, when mowing high, heavy brush, or thick tough
grass of considerable height, better mowing results will
be obtained by removing the Front Fender, and
re
p
lacin
g
it with the o
p
tional chain Guard.
30" ROTARY MOWER ATTACHMENTS
Chain Guard
Figure 13
When the Front Fender is removed, it must always be
replaced with the optional Chain Guard. It is attached to the
Mower by Bolts in place of the Front Fender. The Chains reduce
the velocity of materials that may be thrown out.
Leaf Mulcher
Figure 14
Attach the Leaf Mulcher to the 30-inch Rotary Mower as
follows:
1. Remove both the Front and Rear Fenders. Bolt the
Rear Fender to the front of the Mower Deck.
2. Attach the Leaf Mulcher to the rear of the Mower
Hood, in the position normally occupied by the Rear
Fender.
To operate the Leaf Mulcher, proceed the same as you
would in mowing. Normal walking speed is usually
adequate to do a good job, although when leaves are
wet or packed down, you may have to go over the area
twice.
Circular Saw
Figure 15
Attach the 18-inch (45.72cm) circular saw to the drive
assembly as follows:
1. Remove the mower assembly from the drive
assembly.
2. Place all collars but two on the rotor shaft. Place the
circular saw on the shaft and then the remaining
collars and then install the nut and tighten securely.
NOTE: Cutting edges of the saw teeth must face in the
direction of the shaft rotation.
4. Install the saw guard of the gear housing.
Operating Hints
Feed the Circular Saw by exerting slight pressure
on the Tractor Handles. Do not force the Saw .
...The Circular Saw is most effective for clearing land of
saplings, sprouts, and other small growth. We do not
recommend the Circular Saw for felling large trees .
....Be careful not to run the Saw into the ground or against
rocks.
Storage
When the Circular Saw is to be stored for several days
or longer, we recommend you coat it with general
purpose grease.
