Heavy Duty Finishing Mower

FIELD OPERATION

1.The mower works best on dry grass. Slower cutting speed and occasional cleaning may be required on damp or wet grass.

2.The PTO must run at the full 540 rpm for a good cut. Slower speeds or double cutting could be required for very high grass.

3.Use a higher blade setting for rough areas to prevent scalping of the surface.

4.Always cut counter-clockwise so grass clippings are thrown on the grass already cut. This saves power and wear on the blades.

5.Sharpen blades if grass tears instead of cutting cleanly.

6.Slow down when cutting corners. Turning too sharply on corners can leave a small strip of grass uncut.

DISCONNECTING FROM TRACTOR

1.Park on a firm level area and clean the mower.

2.Lower the mower until the load is off the hitch arms.

3.Disconnect the hitch arms and the PTO shaft.

4.Cover the mower for storage to prevent rust.
