OPERATION

Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement and Tractor hitches. (S3PT-15)

1.Make sure the tractor is equipped with the correct PTO shaft. Change shafts if needed.

2.Shorten or remove the tractor drawbar to avoid interference when raising and lower- ing the mower.

3.Board the tractor and start the engine. Posi- tion the tractor to the mower with the 3-point lift arms positioned between the respective set of mower A-frame lift lugs.

4.Turn off the tractor engine and dismount.

5.One lift arm at a time, align arm end hole between the set of holes of A-frame lift lugs. Insert hitch pin through the lug and arm holes and insert retaining pin into hitch pin.

6.Walk around to opposite side and repeat procedure for remaining lift arm and lift lugs.

7.Extend or retract 3-point top link to align its end hole with the holes of the mower’s top link. Insert the top link hitch pin and insert retaining pin into hitch pin.

8.Adjust any lower link check chains, guide blocks, or sway blocks to prevent the mower from swaying side to side and possible con- tact with tractor rear tires.

Note: Offset Adaptor Hitches are available to

position the mower to the left or right. Mowers with Offset Adaptor hitches connect to the 3-Point hitch the same way as the mower A-frame. See Offset Adaptor Hitch in the Assembly Section for details to equip the mower with this feature.

8. SETTING THE MOWER

Properly setting the cutting height is essential for efficient and safe operation. A properly set mower will make a more uniform cut, distribute clippings more evenly, require minimal tractor work, and follow the contour of uneven terrain. NOTE: Avoid very low cutting heights, striking the ground with the blades gives the most damaging shock loads and will cause damage to the mower and drive. Blades contacting the ground may cause objects to be thrown out from under the mower deck. Always avoid operating the mower at a height which causes the blades to contact the ground. OPS-U- 0010
