VERTICAL MOWER – OPERATION

CAUTION

It is important that the operating instructions are followed to avoid serious damage to both the machine and also to the turf.

Recommended operating procedure :

Position the machine on level ground.

Lower the cutting reels until they are just clear of the turf.

Engage the tractor PTO at low rpm to avoid shock loads to the mower drive train.

Slowly lower the cutting reels into the turf.

Select the appropriate tractor gear range, to give 3 to 5 mph, (4.8 to 8 kph) at rated PTO speed.

Accelerate to maximum PTO speed (500 to 540 rpm ).

IMPORTANT

Do not make a turn when the cutting units are operating, to do so will severely damage the turf.

27

CAUTION

Do not engage the PTO when the cutting units are in the raised , or transport, position

Do not raise the cutting units when the PTO is engaged.

The PTO must be disengaged, and the blades not rotating, before the cutting units are raised for transport.

WARNING

When operating in areas that may have stones or gravel in the ground, exercise caution, and keep bystanders well clear of the rear of the machine. Debris can be flung out by the blades and result in injury.
