A | READ T HE " RULES FOR SAFE OPERA- | |
TION | CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERAT· | |
lNG | YOUR MOWER. | |
THE MAIN DRIVE BELT (ENGINE TO CENTER MAN·
DREL) MUST BE PROPERLY ADJUSTED BEFORE OPERA-
TING. A DRIVE BELT NOT PROPERLY ADJUSTED CAN
BE RUINED IN JUST A FEW MINUTES OF OPERATION.
REFER TO STEP 1, PAGE 4. THE MOWER MUST BE
LEVELED FROM SIDE TO SIDE, AND FROM FRONT TO
REAR, BEFORE OPERATING. (REFER TO PAGE 5). THIS
IS NECESSARY FOR LEVEL AND EFFICIENT MOWING.
NOTE: Place Gear Shift Lever in neutral and unlock Parking Brake. Depress tractor clutch pedal and disengage Mower Clutch Lever (Fig. 12). (Tractor will not start if clutch pedal is not depressed and Mower Clutch Lever is in " IN" position). Also, tractor will not start if Snubber Pull Rod is not adjusted properly. Refer to step 7, page 4.
1. Start tractor and set engine speed to about 1/3 to 1/2 throt· tie before engaging mower. In either case, engage or disen· gage Mower Clutch Lever slowly. After mower is engaged, set to full throttle.
A | NEVER ENGAGE MOWER EXCEPT WHEN |
SITTING ON TRACTOR SEAT. |
2.Start mowing in a low range and increase ground speed as conditions will permit. Average cutting height is approximately 2 - 1/2 to 2 - 3/4 inches. Height of cut can be ad·
FIGURE 13justed by means of the Lift Lever (Fig. 13). Moving the lever forward lowers the mower. Moving it backwards raises the
mower. The lever latch is actuated by depressing the latch button at the top of the lever handle (Fig. 12). Each notch changes the height of cut approximately 1/2 inch .
3.Should some intermediate height be desired, loosen the two Nuts at the bottom of the Lift Lever (Fig . 13) . Rotate the Lever forward or backward relative to the shaft. Forward movement will raise the height of cut. Rearward movement will lower the height of cut. This adjustment will raise or lower the cutting range approximately 1/2 Inch • the equivalent of one notch on the Lift Lever Quadrant. Re· t ighten Lift Lever Nuts securely .
4 .Drive so that clippingsare discharged onto the area that has been cut. See Fig. 14 for line of cut on right hand side of mower. Have the cut area to the right of the machine. This will result in a more even distribution of clippings and more uniform cutting. When mowing large areas (Fig. 15), start by turning to the right so that the clippings will be dis· charged away from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After
two or three rounds, mow in the opposite direction making
~~~=~:~~~~ left hand turns until finished. If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice. The first time cut relatively high.
The second time to the desired height. The left hand side of mower should be used for trimming.
