Section 4 - Operating the Mower
Page 4-4
7. Lower to the Cutting Height
The mower shall not be operated
without the chain guards in place
or in good condition.
- Lower the deck to the preferred cutting
height.
- Install height stops around the height
cylinder rod to maintain the preferred
height.
- Operate at a sufficient height that
prevents the blades from striking the
ground or cutting the edge of the ditch,
which increases blade wear and
causes undue strain on the driveline.
8. Adjust Ground Speed for the terrain, the
type & height and density of vegetation
and the cutting height.
The mower shall not be operated
without the skid shoes in place.
- Recommended speed is between 2
and 5 mph (3 - 8 kmh)
- Decrease the ground speed as the
severity of the cutting condition’s
increase and to permit grasses to
partially rebound from the tires.
- The mower can cut vegetation up to
3½” (89mm) in diameter for short
periods of time.
9. Operate the PTO at the rated PTO speed
to maintain blade speed for a clean cut.
Do not operate within 300 ft
(100m) of any person. Thrown
objects can cause serious injury or
death.
