The HM/HP series mowers are designed for the sole purpose of nish mowing and are built to be the best

cutting and longest lasting nish mowers available. A rugged all steel reinforced carrier frame incorporates

a full length rear roller that maximizes grass striping of this ground oating deck.

The HM602 features a 60 inch (152 cm) cutting width, the HM722 and the HP722 feature a 72 inch (183

cm) cutting width. The HP722 mower deck is o󰀨set to the left 6-1/2 inches (16.5 cm). Ventrac’s LAS (Lin-

ear Adjustment System) provides thirteen cutting height positions ranging from 1-1/8” (29 mm) to 4-1/8”

(105 mm) in the standard position or 1-3/4” (44 mm) to 4-3/4” (121 mm) in the high position. A single hand

adjustment lever allows for a quick change in cutting height selection. A slide release allows the handle to

be returned to deck level, preventing it from catching on low branches and shrubs.

The deck can quickly be tilted up to a near vertical position for cleaning, maintenance, or storage.

ing the operator’s manual will help you become familiar with each specic piece of equipment. Under-

standing the operator’s manual will help you, as well as others, avoid personal injury and/or damage to the

equipment. Keep this manual with the machine at all times. The manual should remain with the machine
