OPERATION
The safe operation of this machine is the responsibility of the operator. The operator should be familiar with
the cutter and tractor and all safety practices before starting operation. This mower is designed for lawn or
grass mowing. It is not designed for rough conditions or heavy weed mowing. It is equipped with suction
type blades for best results in lawn mowing.
Always operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM.
This section provides information for attaching mower to tractor and preparing it for field operation. Review
this data prior to tractor hookup and operation.
TRACTOR PREPARATION
Wheel Treads
Tractor wheel tread spacing should be increased when working on inclines or rough ground to reduce the
possibility of tipping.
Stabilizer Bars or Sway Blocks
Use stabilizer bars or sway blocks to prevent side sway of the mower.
Drawbar
Shorten or remove the tractor Drawbar so it will not interfere with the up and down movement of the Mower.
WARNING! Do not get between Tractor and Mower when engine is running!
ATTACHING MOWER TO TRACTOR - LIFT TYPE
This mower is designed for 540 RPM PTO only with CAT I or CAT II hitch. Back the tractor up to the mower
so that the lower Draft Arms are in alignment with the mower lower lift pins. Stop the engine, lock the brakes
or place the tractor in park. Connect the tractor and Stabilizer Bars to the lower lift pins. Adjust the Top link
so it will pin to the top holes in the A-Frame or into holes in floating top link.
DANGER! NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE, RIDE ON, OR COME CLOSE TO MOWER
OR TRACTOR. Usually, 15-16 year-old children who are mature and responsible can
operate the mower with reasonable safety if they have read Operator's Manual, been trained
in safe operation of the machine, and are physically large and strong enough to reach and
operate controls easily.
