•Rotate height adjust crank handle in a clockwise direction to lower the mower deck. counter-clockwise direction to lift the mower deck.

•Dense areas of material should be cut twice.

TOW HITCH OFFSET

•When offsetting the cutter do so to the side opposite the discharge of the tow vehicle.

•Swisher recommends if the tow vehicle is equipped with a mid-mount mower to overlap the cut approximately 6”. This may vary depending on mowing terrain, obstacles, and/or tow vehicle. Always keep safety the first priority.

•Always keep the tow vehicle cutter raised higher than the Trailcutter

•Loosen and remove two back side bolts ( NB164 ) of hitch bar ( 10339TK ) position hitch bar to desired setting see figure – 2,3 page 11 replace bolts making sure to retighten.

STARTING TO CUT

•Adjust the cutting height.

•Double check vehicle to cutter attachment.

•Start mower engine and set throttle to “FAST” for best cutting performance.

•Slowly engage T-handle lever.see figure-8 page 14

•Carefully mount tow vehicle and start mowing at a slow travel speed.

STOPPING THE CUTTING SESSION

•Bring tow vehicle to a complete stop, set the parking brake and disengage blades.

•Turn key switch to the “OFF” position.

•Always remember to remove keys to avoid irresponsible usage.

SUGGESTED CUTTING PRACTICES

•Operate cutter engine at full throttle to assure the best cutting performance and maximum material discharge.

•Allow wet grass to dry. Wet grass will clump and collect under the mowing deck.

•Cutter should be started with tow vehicle in low gear and increased only as safe mowing conditions permit. Cutting speed should not exceed 5 MPH.

•Cutting conditions and the types of grass will vary from place to place. You may find when cutting dense areas that the pressure of the wheel tracks may cause the grass to be pushed down and not effectively mowed. If this happens you may want to mow the area twice. Once with the cutter raised and the second cutting at the desired height. The second cutting should be at a right angle from the previous for best results.

•Reducing the travel speed will help cut dense growth. This allows the blades the time necessary to make its initial cut, and regain momentum to continue cutting and discharging debris properly. The engine may stall if you are mowing too fast!

•Do not attempt to cut areas that the tow vehicle cannot maneuver through and/or slopes that you do not feel comfortable riding.
