OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This mower was designed to CUT PASTURE GRASS AND ROUGH AREAS UP TO 1" IN
DIAMETER. Use of your rotary mower to cut any material larger than 1" in diameter may
damage the mower and void your warranty.
PRE-OPERATIONAL ADJUSTMENTS
Set tractor's lift control stop at a position that will prevent the PTO shaft from coming in
contact with the front edge of the mower when it is at full lift. Consult your tractor manual
for instructions.
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
To prevent mower blades from striking the ground or hidden objects, your mower should
be set to the highest position that will give the desired cutting height. By setting your
mower up this way you reduce blade wear and stress to the mower. Mowing at regular
intervals will yield far better results than periodic mowing (i.e. less wind rowing). To adjust
cutting heights follow these steps.
STEP 1
Raise rotary mower off the ground with the tractor and SECURELY BLOCK
IN POSITION. Remove 5/8" bolt from adjusting bracket. (See Figure K)
STEP 2
Move the A-frame tail wheel up or down to desired cutting height. Reinstall
5/8" bolt and tighten to secure in position. (See Figure L)
Note: It may be necessary to loosen the A-frame tail wheel attachment
bolts. (See Figure L) as shown by the arrow.
