OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE

A leaf mulcher, low-suction blades, front roller, and casters are offered as optional equipment for this mower. Some options may not be available for some mountings.

Blades

Low-suction blades are optional for this mower. In sandy areas where abrasive action could cause exces- sive blade wear, low-suction blades are recommended.

Casters

Casters are used to adjust cutting height.

Leaf Mulcher

Bothersome leaf raking, bagging or burning can be minimized by equipping your mower with a leaf mulcher attachment. With this attachment, your mower will dispose of leaves by quickly and thoroughly shred- ding them. The shredded matter will decompose and form humus.

The use of standard-suction blades is recommended with the leaf mulcher. It is also recommended that the leaf mulcher be removed for grass mowing.

Adjust mower with blades approximately 1-1/2" above ground and with front of mower slightly higher than the rear. Operate tractor at a slow ground speed with the PTO at full rpm.

Front Roller

The front roller should be used when scalping occurs. Side skids and casters effectively reduce scalping in most cases.

You may encounter areas where the side skids or cast- ers will drop into depressions and allow the center of the mower to contact the ground and scalp. When this occurs, you should install a front roller in the center of the mower.
