Breaking in Your Mower
Break in your belts, pulleys, and engine before you
actually begin mowing.
•
Start engine, engage blade control to start
blades rotating and allow blades to rotate for
approximately five minutes to break in mower
and engine.
Suggested Mowing Practices
•
Mowing should be started with tractor in low
gear and speed increased only as mowing
conditions will safely permit. This speed
should not exceed 3-1/2 MPH.
•
Better mowing results will be obtained in
grassy areas if they are mowed when the
grass is approximately 4-5” maximum height.
While your mower will cut grass taller than 5”,
you will experience a substantial increase in
the horsepower required and some change in
finished appearance of the area mowed.
•
Mowing conditions will vary from place to
place, including the types of grass that are
being mowed, such as fine stalk, coarse
stalk, dense or sparse grasses. When
mowing tall grass, you may find that the
pressure of wheel tracks may cause certain
grasses to be pushed downward and will not
be mowed properly. If this condition exists,
you may have to mow the area twice, the first
mowing with the mower raised and the
second at the normal height you have
chosen. If it is practical, better results will be
found if the second mowing is at a right angle
in travel to the previous mowing.
•
Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet grass
will accumulate under the mower deck and
leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to dry
before mowing.
•
Always operate mower at full throttle when
mowing to assure better mowing
performance and proper discharge of
material. Regulate ground speed by selecting
a low enough gear to give the mower cutting
performance as well as the quality of cut
desired.
Caution:
Shut off mower and remove
spark plug wire before making
any adjustments to the mower.
