Section 2 Operating Instructions  
Transporting  
!
CAUTION!  
When mowing in sandy soil areas, wear may occur to your  
mower blades caused from sand erosion. Frequent inspection  
should be made and blades replaced if damaged.  
NOTE: Always disengage PTO before raising the  
mower to transport position.  
Operating Instructions  
2. When raising the mower to the transport position, be  
sure that powershaft does not contact tractor or mow-  
er. Adjust and set the tractor’s 3-point hitch lift height  
so that the PTO shaft does not contact mower deck, in  
the fully raised position.  
Proper Servicing and adjustments is the key to the long life  
of any machine. With careful and systematic inspection of  
the mower, you can avoid costly maintenance, time and  
repair.  
Before beginning to mow, the following inspection should  
be performed:  
3. Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when turning;  
and, leave enough clearance so the mower does not  
contact obstacles such as buildings, trees  
or fences.  
1. Check oil level in gearbox. Refer to "Section 5 Main-  
4. Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting  
from one area to another. When traveling on road-  
ways, transport in such a way that faster moving vehi-  
cles may pass you safely.  
2. Check that all plugs in gearbox have been replaced  
and tightened properly.  
3. Be sure all mower blades, bolts and nuts are tight.  
4. Be certain all guards and shields are in place and se-  
cure.  
5. When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor  
to a lower gear.  
5. Grease PTO shaft and all other grease fittings.  
6. Clear the area to be mowed of rocks, branches and  
other foreign objects.  
!
CAUTION!  
When traveling on public roads, whether at night or during the  
day, use accessory lights and devices for adequate warning to  
operators of other vehicles. Comply with all Federal, State, and  
local laws.‘  
7. Lower mower to ground. Set tractor throttle at approx-  
imately 1/4 open. Engage PTO to start blades rotat-  
ing.  
8. Operate with 540 rpm PTO tractor.  
Mowing Instructions  
6. Clear the area to be mowed of objects and debris that  
might be picked up and thrown by the mower blades.  
9. At first begin mowing at a slow forward speed and shift  
up until the desired speed is achieved - maintaining  
540 PTO rpm.  
7. Grass is best cut when it is dry. Mowing wet grass can  
cause plugging resulting in grass clumps behind the  
mower.  
10. Mower blades will cut better at a faster blade speed  
than at reduced throttle.  
11. After mowing the first 50 feet, stop and check to see  
that the mower is adjusted properly.  
8. Grass should be mowed frequently as shorter clip-  
pings deteriorate faster.  
12. Do not make sharp turns or attempt to back up while  
9. If mowing extremely tall grass, it is best to raise cutting  
height and mow the area, then lower cutting height

Leveling the Mower  
3-Point Hitch Adjustments  
The 3-point hitch system on this mower has been de-  
signed for front to back flotation when mowing on uneven  
terrain. Adjust the tractor’s top link to place the upper hitch  
pin vertically above the lower hitch pins as shown below.  
NOTE: Tractor and mower should be on level  
ground.  
14. Set lower hitches and upper floating hitch, as shown  
below in Figure 3-1.  
!
CAUTION!  
Engage parking brake, shut off tractor, remove key and disen-  
gage PTO before making any height adjustments!  
15. Start tractor and raise mower, watching that tractor  
draw bar (if not removed) does not interfere with mow-  
er.  
Belt Tension  
Refer to Figure 3-2:  
16. Slowly lower the mower until gauge wheels touch the  
ground and the lower mower 3-point hitch bars are  
parallel to the ground in floating position. Set tractor 3-  
point stop.  
!
CAUTION!  
Belt drive system under spring tension; use care to avoid bodily  
harm!  
17. Set park brake and turn off tractor. Remove key from  
ignition.  
18. Rotate blades parallel to direction of travel.  
1. To check tension apply force at arrow A. With a ten-  
sion tester and deflect the belt 1/4". The force required  
to get this deflection should range from 7 to 10 lbs.  
19. Measure the clearance from the cutting edge to the  
ground at front and rear of the blade. This measure-  
ment should be equal or have the blade at the front of  
the mower not more than 1/2" lower than the blade at  
the rear of the mower.  
2. To adjust belt tension, adjust eyebolt (#1), as neces-  
sary. This adjustment will increase or decrease the  
tension on spring (#2).  
3. Excessive tension on the belt may lead to premature  
failure of belt and drive components. Excessive ten-  
sion on the belt may also lead to a safety hazard to the  
operator or bystanders. Not enough tension on the  
belt may lead to premature failure of the belt due to ex-  
cessive slipping.  
!
WARNING!  
Excessive tension on the belt may lead to premature failure of  
belt and drive components. Excessive tension on the belt may  
also lead to a safety hazard to the operator or bystanders.

NOTE: Care should be taken in order not to remove  
any more material than necessary to sharpen blade.  
AIR TIRES (AIR PRESSURE):  
Tire Sealant: Heavy Duty tire sealant has been added in  
Air tires to help reduce air loss from punchers due to nails/  
thorns etc....  
Balance each blade after sharpening.  
Blade Replacement  
IMPORTANT: Always install blade with the cutting edge  
facing direction of rotation. Refer to Figure 3-2 on page 12  
for proper blade placement due to different rotations on  
decks.  
NOTE: Under inflated tires can roll off of rim. Maintain-  
ing air pressure within 5 PSI of maximum tire pressure  
reduces the risk of tires rolling off of rim.  
1. Remove the bolt and blade washer from the bottom of  
the blade to be replaced. Remove blade.  
2. Install the blade washer into the center hole on blade.
