Operation Safety
Do not put mower into service unless dis-
charge chute is installed and in good condition.
Replace if damaged.
Install Discharge Chute, page 36
Stop power unit and equipment immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage
before resuming operation.
IMPORTANT
Power for operating mower is supplied by
tractor mid-PTO. Do not exceed tractor manufac-
turer's rated mid-PTO speed of 2000 rpm maxi-
mum. Know how to stop tractor and mower
quickly in case of an emergency.
Should mower become plugged, causing belt
to slip for over two seconds, maneuver equipment
into a previously cut area and allow mower to
clear accumulated material. Continue running at
least two minutes, allowing pulleys to cool. Stop-
ping the mower with belt in contact with a very hot
pulley will bake and ruin belt.
Mower vibration tends to loosen bolts during
operation. All hardware should be checked regu-
larly to maintain proper torque. It is a good prac-
tice to check mower before each operation to
ensure all bolts are secure.
