SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential physical injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death. In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.

• Lack of attention to safety can result in accident, personal injury, reduction of efficiency and worst of all – loss of life. Watch for safety hazards and correct deficiencies promptly.
• Use the following safety precautions as a general guide to safe operations when using this machine. Additional safety precautions are used throughout this manual for specific operating and maintenance procedures. Read this manual and review the safety precautions often until you know the limitations. Do not allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment. Do not operate equipment under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

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 tractor or mower. Never allow riders 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 cutting at the maximum height as a first pass. After completing the mowing operation at the maximum height, the area can be recut with the mower set at the desired height. 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. Mow when the grass is 3 to 4 inches tall. 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. Clean the underside of the mower deck using a scraper. Operate the mower only in daylight or with good artificial light.
