INSTALLING MOWER

OPERATING YOUR MOWER WITH OTHER EQUIPMENT

You may operate your ”60 mower with three- point hitch mounted attachments and with the FL6555 Front Loader sub frame only. You must not operate or install the mower while any other attachments are installed on the tractor.

A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on tractor front wheels with mower in transport position.

Without this weight, tractor could tip over causing personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor weights. When attaining the minimum 20% weight on the front wheels, you must not exceed the Roll Over Protection Structure (ROPS) weight certification. Weigh the tractor and equip- ment. Do not estimate.

Using Three-Point Hitch Attachments

1, Start the engine and set Lift Control Lever to “UP”and raise the mower to maximum height. Turn Lowering Speed Control fully clockwise to lock lift arms in up position. Leave Lift Control Lever in “UP” position. Stop engine, set brake and remove keys.

I! I Make sure to turn Lowering Speed Control fully clockwise to lock hydrau- lic system before attaching mower deck hook. This prevents the mower deck from descending and causing injury to feet or hands.

2.Pull linchpin holding mower hook to mower hook bracket. Turn mower hook in adjusting pin so that it is long enough to reach projecting lockup pin on bracket attached to tractor frame as illustrated.Adjust the mower hook so that it fits TIGHTLY over the projecting lockup pin on tractor. This will minimize the backlash on the lockup pin when it supports the mower.

3.Slip mower hook over lockup pin, and secure with washer and linchpin removedfrom mower hook bracket. Insert linchpin from front to back to lock properly.
