• Lower the cutting reels until they are just
clear of the turf.
• Engage the tractor PTO at low rpm to avoid
shock loads to the mower drive train.
• Slowly lower the cutting reels into the turf.
• Select the appropriate tractor gear range, to
give 3 to 5 mph, (4.8 to 8 kph) at rated PTO
speed.
• Accelerate to maximum PTO speed (500 to
540 rpm ).
IMPORTANT
Do not make a turn when the cutting units are
operating, to do so will severely damage the turf.
