FINISHING MOWER OPERATION
STEP 1
Before each use perform the maintenance described in maintenance section (pg#
21)
STEP2
Read, understand, and follow the information on safety training, preparation, start-
ing and stopping safety, operational safety, transport safety warning sections of this
manual (pages 11 thru 16)
STEP 3
With tractor running, lower finishing mower to ground so that the swivel links are
parallel to the ground. This allows the free-floating hitch system to follow the con-
tour of the ground, thus mowing evenly on uneven terrain.
STEP 4
With the tractor at idle RPM, engage PTO and slowly advance throttle to 540 PTO
RPM. NOTE: Finishing mower designed to run at 540 PTO RPM only.
STEP 5
Select a low gear for the tractor and begin to mow. Tractor ground
speed is to be controlled by gear selection only and not engine speed.
Tractor ground speed should allow finishing mower to maintain 540 PTO
RPM and thus maximum blade tip speed.
NOTE: Do not allow the tractor engine or finishing mower to bog down or stall.
This causes undue wear and tear on the mower and tractor. If this continues to
happen reduce ground speed and raise cutting height of finishing mower. Never at-
tempt to clean out a plugged discharge chute until the tractor has been shut down
and the mower blades have completely stopped.
STEP 6
After each use clean all debris from the top and bottom of the finishing
mower. Replace any missing or illegible safety decals. Inspect for any
damaged or worn parts and replace before next use. Store finishing mower
in a dry environment.
