Before starting operation ensure there are no people or animals in the vicini-
ty of the mower.
Section 7 Operation
Do not operate mower in rocky conditions.
Do not operate the mower without covers in place.
1. Engage the PTO drive and gradually increase the speed to 1000 RPM. Do not
reduce speed below 1000 RPM when mowing as this may cause plugging.
2. Start the forward motion of the tractor. Generally a ground speed of 6-10 KPH
will produce best results. Reduce speed on hilly/uneven ground, around corners
(especially left corners).
3. Reduce speed if the mower leaves uncut material.
4. Cut around fields in a clockwise direction.
5. In some conditions such as newly seeded fields, dirt or debris may build up be-
tween the stone guards resulting in a reduced performance. Clean the cutter bar
frequency to maintain a good cut and prevent premature blade wear.
6. When finished, gradually reduce PTO speed and disengage PTO drive.
Danger of tipping exists when turning left or going downhill.
Reduce speed accordingly.
