OPERATION

OPERATION

The safe operation of this machine is the responsibility of the operator. The operator should be familiar with the mower and tractor and all safety practices before starting operation. This mower is designed for lawn or grass mowing. It is not designed for rough conditions or heavy weed mowing. It is equipped with suction type blades for best results in lawn mowing.

Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm.

This section provides information for attaching mower to tractor and preparing it for field operation. Review this data prior to tractor hookup and operation.

TRACTOR PREPARATION

Wheel Treads

Tractor wheel tread spacing should be increased when working on inclines or rough ground to reduce the possibility of tipping.

WARNING! Do not get between Tractor and Mower when engine is running!

DANGER!	NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE, RIDE ON, OR COME CLOSE TO MOWER OR
	TRACTOR. Usually, 15-16 year-old children who are mature and responsible can operate the
	mower with reasonable safety if they have read Operator's Manual, been trained in safe
	operation of the machine, and are physically large and strong enough to
	reach and operate controls easily.

ATTACHING CUTTER TO TRACTOR

WARNING! Never hitch or unhitch without using the Tongue Jack. The Tongue is very heavy, and attempted lifting can cause strains and crushing injury should the Tongue fall suddenly and unexpectedly. Use the Jack only for lifting the Mower. Overloading the Jack can cause failure with possible serious bodily injury or even death.

Use the Tongue Jack to either hitch or unhitch the mower. Be sure the Wheels are properly blocked to avoid rolling.
