OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE
A leaf mulcher, low-suction blades, front roller, and
casters are offered as optional equipment for this
mower. Some options may not be available for some
mountings.
Blades
Low-suction blades are optional for this mower. In
sandy areas where abrasive action could cause exces-
sive blade wear, low-suction blades are recommended.
Casters
Casters are used to adjust cutting height.
Leaf Mulcher
Bothersome leaf raking, bagging or burning can be
minimized by equipping your mower with a leaf
mulcher attachment. With this attachment, your mower
will dispose of leaves by quickly and thoroughly shred-
ding them. The shredded matter will decompose and
form humus.
The use of standard-suction blades is recommended
with the leaf mulcher. It is also recommended that the
leaf mulcher be removed for grass mowing.
Adjust mower with blades approximately 1-1/2" above
ground and with front of mower slightly higher than the
rear. Operate tractor at a slow ground speed with the
PTO at full rpm.
Front Roller
The front roller should be used when scalping occurs.
Side skids and casters effectively reduce scalping in
most cases.
You may encounter areas where the side skids or cast-
ers will drop into depressions and allow the center of
the mower to contact the ground and scalp. When this
occurs, you should install a front roller in the center of
the mower.
