1. Make sure that the hairpin is installed in the
rear hole in the spring rod
.
Note: When servicing the cutting unit, move
the hairpin to the spring-rod hole next to the
turf-compensation spring
.
2. Tighten the hex nuts
on the front end of the
spring rod until the compressed length of the
spring is 15.9 cm (6.25 inches).
Note: When operating on rough terrain
decrease the spring length by 13 mm (1/2 inch). Ground following will be slightly
decreased.
Note: The turf compensation setting will need to be reset if the HOC setting or the
Aggressiveness of Cut setting is changed.
Cutting Grass with the Machine
1. Disengage the parking brake, disengage the PTO, and raise the cutting units.
2. Move the throttle to the F
AST position.
3. Drive the machine to the mowing area.
4. Park the machine approximately 6 m (20 feet) off the fairway, facing the intended
mowing direction.
5. Lower the cutting units completely with the lift/lower control lever.
6. Engage the PTO.
Note: The cutting units will not start.
7. Tap the lift/lower control lever rearward to lift the cutting units to the turnaround position.
Note: Tapping the lift/lower control lever without holding it raises the cutting units to the
turnaround position and stops the rotation of the reels until the cutting units are lowered.
8. Using the traction pedal, approach the mowing area slowly.
9. Once you reach the edge of the mowing area to start mowing, lower the cutting units
with the lift/lower control lever.
Note: Practice to ensure the cutting units do not lower early or mow an unintended
area.
10. Complete the mowing pass.
