OPERATION

CUTTER BAR

Before each use of the mower, examine the cutter bar to

make sure it is in good operating condition. Lay the

machine onits side and check asfollows:

A WARNING

To avoid possible serious bodily

injury completely detach the mower

from the tractor before doing any

maintenance onthe mower.

1. Thecutter bar should follow along a straight line and

should not be bent. The bar can be checkedwitha

straightedge.

6

2. If the cutter baris bent asmay happen if it strikes a

curb, survey stake or other object, it should be

replaced as it may be damaged. Thedamage might

be a microscopic crackwhichcould grow, allowing a

piece of the barto break off and bethrown out from

under the mower, causing serious bodily injury (See

"B", Fig. 6).

3. Examine theends of the cutter barandthe transition

between the turned upair vanes andthe flat part on

the side awayfrom thegrass. When cutting grass in

dry or sandy soil, abrasive dust of sand particles can

wear away the metal connecting thevanesand the

flat part (See "A", Fig. 6). If aslot forms ina bar as

shown in "B", Fig. 6,the bar should be replaced.

4. If the wear is allowed totake place for along time,

the slot will grow, permitting apiece of the vane to

break off the bar and be thrown from the mower,

causing possible serious bodily injury.

CUTTING HEIGHT

Depending upon thetype of cut desired, the mower can

be used intwo different ways:

1. To obtain acut which follows the contour of the

ground, the mower should beoperated with the rear

rollers onthe ground and the lift system lowered

enough to permit the mower to float.

NOTE

It isvery important to permit the mower to float.

If the lift system islowered too far, the mower

can't move independently from thetractor, it

could result in premature roller wear and

damage tothe mower deck.

To adjust the cutting height, raise the mower to

transport position and set the rearrollers to the

desired cutting height using the cutting height

control lever(SeeFigs. 7 & 11).

2. To obtain alevel cut which doesn't follow small

changes in ground contour, the mower should be

suspended from thetractor lift system with therear

rollers set in the 1.1/2" cutting position to act as anti-

scalp rollers (See Fig. 12). If the tractor has a manual

lift, set the mower atthe desired cutting height using

the implement lift handle perthe Instructions on

Page 5. If the tractor has a hydraulic lift, set the

cutting height by using the position control as

follows: (See Fig. 3).

a. Raise mowerto transport position.

b. LoosenLock Bar.

c. Turn position control knobclockwise to lowest

position.

d. Lowermowerto desired cutting height.

e. Turn position control knob counterclockwise until

lift is contacted (Resistanceis felt).

f. Tighten lock barfinger tight, do not use a wrench.

NOTE

No matter which type of cut Is desired, the

mower must be properly leveled. See

maintenance section Instructions.

ENGINE SPEED

Make sure electric clutch is disengaged before starting

engine. For all cutting conditions, operate theengine at

full throttle to maintain sufficient blade speed.

In the interest of safety, have your tractor checked

yearly and make sure the full throttle, no load, "on

governor" engine speed Isnot in excess of maximum

3400 rpm at full throttle.

NOTE1

The ANSI-Outdoor Power Equipment Institute

Safety Standards aresubject to continuing review

and improvement. If maximum permissible blade

tip speeds arechanged, it will becomenecessary to

change theengine speed listed. Your Authorized

Service Station will be kept informed of changes, If

such occur, and will beable to adjust your machine

to keep it up to datewith themost modern safety

standards on cutter blade speeds.

NOTE2

Engine speeds will vary, evenwith the best ofgover-

nors, and safe practice isto setengines 100to 200

rpm under the maximum acceptable rates.

NOTE3

The ANSI-OPEl Safety Standards require thedis-

charge chute extension aspackaged with this mow-

er to be bolted securely inplace for proper, safe

operation. See UNPACKING AND SET-UP

INSTRUCTIONS.

TRACTOR GROUND SPEED

Gear Drive Tractors -For light to medium cutting,

operate the tractor in 2nd or 3rd gear. Shift the

transmission into low gear for heavy cutting. The

mower will not cut clean oreven if the forward speedof

the tractor istoo fast.

Hydrostatic Driven Tractors -For all cutting conditions,

move the control pedal forward and down until the

tractor groundspeed matches the cutting conditions,

that is, when the mower is making aclean, level cut.

The mower will not cut clean or even if the forward

speed of the tractor istoo fast.

Cutter Bar Removal -This operation must be performed

with the mower detached from the tractor. Turn the

mower over on its back and remove thescrew and

lockwasher at the center of each cutter bar.

When sharpening the cutter bar, do not follow the

original angle of grind as shown in "A" (See Fig. 10).

Instead, grind new cutting edges onthe diagonal as

shown in "8". Make sure that each cutting edge

MOWER LEVELING ADJUSTMENT

The mower is pre-set at the factory and under normal

conditions will never need adjusting. However, the

mower should be checked periodically and if necessary

adjusted as follows:

1. Side to Side: If one side of the mower is lower than

the other, remove the rearhanger bracket onthe low

side of the mower and reassemble it in adifferent set

.of holesto makeit shorter and raisethe lowside of

the mower.

2. Blade Tilt: Position cutter blade parallel to tractor

centerline (Foreand Aft). Check that the front tip of

the blades are .125to .375 below rear tip. If the

mower needs to be adjusted, remove both rear

hanger brackets and reassemble them in different

sets of holes as necessary to get the proper

adjustment. Move both rear brackets the same

amount.

BELT INSTAllATION AND

ADJUSTMENT

IMPORTANT

The following instructions must be followedeach

time anew belt isinstalled on your mower, or the

mower is reinstalled on your tractor. You should

also check forproper adjustment during theseason

of usage. The end result will be good performance

and extended belt life.

1. Attach the drive belt, slipping it over the attachment

pulley, through the belt guide, over the two smaller

idler pulleys, and the larger of the two engine drive

pulleys, asshown in Figure 13. Makesure that the

belt is not twisted more than required for proper

function (1/2 Turn).

2. Start theengine and raise themower to the highest

position. BESURETHE ENGINE ISSHUT OFF

BEFORE PERFORMING STEPS3, 4, and 5.

3. Grasp the two belt sections that extend from the

attachment pulley tothetractor idlers, and squeeze

together. At the same time observe the spring onthe

spring-loaded idler (right side of tractor). Asthe belt

section6 are manually squeezed together, the spring

should begin to compress. There should be a

minimum of 1/8" (3.17mm) spring movement before

9

.the spring is completely (solid) compressed. If the

'811owable inside movement between the totaLspring

coils is 118"(3.17 mm) or less, the spring should be

adjusted by turning the nut on the rodextending

through the spring. The nut should be turned back,

allowing the spring to beextended.

4. After adjusting the nut, recheck the spring, making

sure that there is 1/8" (3.17mm)or more spring travel

before the spring is completely compressed. The

mower must be in the highest position for this

adjustment.

5. It is important tocheck thebelt occasionally to make

sure that it has not become too loose. Belts may

stretch or wear. If the belt h~s become loose, the

tension can beincreased byadjusting the nut on the

spring rod. The spring should becompressed. Refer

to step 3andcheck to make sure the spring is not

compressed too far.
