John Deere GM2072 Lawn Mower User Manual


 
23.Use only the driveline supplied with the mower. Do not use it if it is missing any
shield or safety protection.
24.Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent “hanging up”
tractor and mower.
25.Avoid sudden starts and stops while traveling up or downhill.
26.Always cut down slopes; never across the face. Avoid operation on steep slopes.
Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping and or loss of control.
3.02 - Set Up
Notice to dealer: Pre-delivery setup and service including lubrication is the
responsibility of the authorized dealer. It is up to him to assure that the machine is in
perfect condition and ready to be used. It is his responsibility to ensure that the
customer is aware of all safety aspects and operational procedures for the mower. He
must also fill out the Pre-Delivery Checklist
3
prior to delivering the mower.
CAUTION: Stand clear of bands when cutting as they could be under sufficient
tension to cause them to fly loose. Take care in removing bands and wire, they
often have extremely sharp edges and cut very easily.
As mentioned above, all our grooming mowers may be either tractor front or rear
mounted. Changing our mowers from front mount to rear, or vice versa, can be easily
done at our authorized dealerships. This is accomplished by simply turning the three
point hitch and the gearbox 180 degrees .
3.03 - Cutting Height Adjustment
WARNING: Keep hands and feet away from moving blades.
Be sure tractor engine is off, parking brake is locked, and key is removed before
making any adjustments.
Never rely on the tractor lift system. Install blocks or stands under the mower
deck to prevent it from falling.
The cutting height is the distance from the blades to the ground. The cutting height is
adjusted by moving the spacers on the wheel yokes. Placing spacers between the
wheel arm and the wheel yoke raises the cutting height by the size of the spacer.
Removing the spacers lowers it by the same height (see fig. 5).
Be sure all wheel arms are adjusted equally. This is the only way to ensure a
completely uniform cut.
