<5>
GENERAL OPERATION
1. Know your controls. Read this operator's manual and the manual provided with your tractor.
Learn how to stop the tracor, the engine, and the mower quickly in an emergency.
2. Watch overhead clearances carefully before driving under power lines, bridges, tree branches, or
when exiting or entering buildings. These situations may allow the operator to be struck or
pulled from the tractor, which could result in serious injury or death.
3. Do not put hands or feet under the mower deck or near rotating parts.
4. Always wear safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles during operation.
5. Clear the area to be mowed of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc. which could be struck and
thrown by the mower baldes.
A thrown object by the mower could travel in any direction and cause injury to the operator or a
bystander. To help avoid injury, keep bystanders, children, and pets at least 75 feet from mower while
in operation. Stop the mowing operation if anyone enters the area.
6. Watch for hidden hazards in the area being cut during operation.
7. Disengage the mower before shifting tractor into reverse and backing up. Always look down
and behind before and while backing.
8. Stop the mower blades when crossing gravel driveways, walks or roadways.
11. To avoid injury from thrown devris, never operate the mower when it is raised in the
transport position.
14. Do not attempt to mow through unusually tall, dry grass or piles of dry leaves.
Devris may build up on the mower deck or contact the tractor exhaust causing a potential fire
hazard
<6>
SLOPE OPERATION
WARNING- Slopes are a major factor leading to loss of control and tip over accidents,
which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution.
If slopes are greater than 15 degrees, do not operate the mower on that area otherwise
serious injury or death could result.
1. Add wheel ballast for stability when operating on slopes. Pay extreme care when operating
on slopes to maintain stability.
3. Do not stop, start, otherwise change directions suddenly on slopes. If the tractor tires lose traction,
stop mower and proceed slowly straight down the slope.
4. To prevent loss of control and overturning the tractor and mower, always mow up and down slopes,
never across.
6. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause silding on slopes.
TRANSPORTATION
3. Always use accessory lights and devices when transporting on a road or highway to warn operators
of other vehicles. Check your local government regulations.
4. Be sure the slow moving vehicle(SMV) emblem is visible to the rear. If the SMV sign is worn,
faded, or damage, replace immediately.
5. Use caution and reduce speed when transporting under adverse conditions, turning, or on inclines.
<7>
OPERATION
WARING- Make sure Deflector Chute is installed and correctly functioning to prevent injury.
Never operate mower with chute removed or raised out of operating position.
WARING-To avoid injury never direct the discharge of material towards bystanders or allow anyone
near the machine while in operation.
CAUTION- To avoid injury and damage, re-torque all fastening hardware, including blades end
spindle retaining hardware after the first hour of operation.
Safe operation of the tractor and mower is the responsibility of the operator.
Operator must be familiar with tractor and mower controls and how they function, and all safety
precautions before starting operation.
The mower is designed as a finish cut mower.
Do not allow anyone but the operator on the tracotr or mower. Never allow tiders on tractor.
The deck cutting height is set by positioning the Clevis pin at the rear three-point Hitch area and
allowing the Clevis pin to rest on the draw bar. Refer to "Cutting height. Adjustment" section of this
manual for proper adjustment.
The anti-scalp wheels on each side of the mower deck can serve as a guide for mowing.
When mowing, position the mower deck such that the anti-scalp wheel overlaps the edge of
the grass previously cut. This will assure full mower cut coverage.
Mowing should be performed with the tractor engine operating at the recommended RPM.
Do not mow at high ground speed. Operating at recommended RPM will insure proper blade
speed for effective cutting and discharge of grass from the deck.
For best results, it is recommended that the first two passes around the area to be mowed has
the discharge chute directed towards the center. After the first two passes have been completed,
reverse direction to have the discharge chute pointed outward.
This will give a better appearance to the lawn.
Blade sharpness will affect the appearance of the area cut. Dull or damaged blades will cause
the grass to appear torn, rather than cut cleanly.
Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass will promote weed growth and yellows in dry weather.
Allow grass to grow longer in hot, dry conditions. The additional length reduces heat build-up,
preserves needed moisture and protects the grass from heat damage.
Mow often. Do not allow the grass to get too tall. Mowing areas with tall grass may require
primary cutting at the maximum height. After completing the mowing operation at
the maximum height, the area can be recut with the mower set at the desired height.

OPERATION
WARNING- Make sure Deflector Chute is installed and correctly functioning to prevent injury.
Never operate mower with chute removed or raised out of operating position.
WARNING-To avoid injury never direct the discharge of material towards bystanders or allow anyone
near the machine while in operation.
CAUTION- To avoid injury and damage, re-torque all fastening hardware, including blades end
spindle retaining hardware after the first hour of operation.
At certain times of the year and under some conditions, the mower may leave streaks of uncut grass.
The general cause is tall grass and weeds. With this type of condition, it may be necessary to make
a second pass over the cut area to get an even cut.
Cutting off too much at one time shocks the plant's growth system and weakens the grass plants.
A good guideline to follow is the 1/3 rule: cut no more than one third of the grass height, and never
more than 1 inch at a time.
The time of day and condition of the grass will affect the results you obtain when mowing.
Mow at the time of day when the grass is cool and dry. Late afternoon or early evening will provide
the most ideal conditions.
Do not mow when the grass is wet or heavy with dew.
Wet grass can build up on the underside of the deck, creating an imbalance through the blades
and spindles, causing possible damage to the mower deck belt. Wet grass also leaves unsightly
clumps on the lawn.
Should the mower deck become plugged, raise deck, shut off engine, set parking brake, and lock
the deck in the transport position.

MAINTENANCE
1. Protect your eyes- Wear Safety Glasses.
2. Never run the tractor and mower inside a closed area. Engine exhaust fumes can be lethal.
4. Before performing any service work, make sure hoists, floor jacks, and jack stands are in
good working order and properly rated to support the tractor and mower.
5. Do not work under the tractor or mower unless they are secured by a hoist and jack stands.
Never place any body part underneath equipment or between moveable parts even after tractor
has been turned off. Hydraulic system leak downs, hydraulic system failures, mechanical failures,
or control lever movement can cause mower and tractor components to drop or rotate unexpectedly
and cause serious injury or death.
6. Avoid injury, do not adjust, service, clean, or unclog the mower when the tractor engine is running.
8. Do not handle mower blades with bare hands. Wear leather gloves or wrap blades in the area
Where they will be handled. Improper handling may result in serious injury.
9. Your dealer can supply genuine replacement blades. Non-genuine blades may not meet original
equipment specifications and may be dangerous if installed.
10. To reduce fire hazard, keep the tractor and mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris build up.
Debris may build up on the mower deck or contact the tractor exhaust causing a
potential fire hazard.
11. Never alter safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly. Use all guards as instructed
in this manual.
12. It is not recommended to use a pressure washer to clean the mower assembly. High pressure
water may cause damage to spindles, pulleys, belts, or bearings, shortening life and
reducing serviceability.
