WARNING! Thoroughly inspect the area where you
plan to use the mower. Look for items such as stones,
sticks , wire, and other foreign objects. If struck by the
mower, these and other objects may become
projectiles that could lead to serious injury or death.
Clear area of all debris. Keep people and pets at a safe
distance.
WARNING! Do not operate the mower with defective
guards, shields, or without the safety devices securely
in place.
1. When the mower is in position on the area to be
mowed, start the engine and bring the engine to
operating speed.
2. With the other hand, SLOWLY push the blade
control lever forward to the ON position pausing for
10-15 seconds in the soft start range.
The Soft Start feature is critical to maintaining
belt, clutch, and engine life. NEVER “slam” the
blade on/off handle from off to on without
pausing an adequate time in the soft start range.
WARNING
WARNING
WHEN WING MOWERS ARE IN USE, THE
BLADES MAY NOT STOP IN 7 SECONDS.
VISUAL INDICATION THAT THE BLADES ARE
TURNING IS PROVIDED ON BOTH WING
MOWERS. Do not approach the mower or
attempt any service until the after the visual
warning disks have completely stopped
turning. Slow moving blades can cause
serious injury or death.
WARNING
3. Walk back to the towing vehicle keeping clear of
the mower decks by at least three feet.
4. Slowly begin pulling the tow behind mower with the
vehicle. Speed can be increased as long as cut
quality is maintained and there is no engine rpm
reduction or belt slip. This is dependent on the
height, condition and type of grass. NOTE: The
pulley and blade system is designed so the belts
slip before damage to the engine can occur.
5. To stop the blades, pull the blade control lever back
to the OFF position.
WARNING! The blades may take up to seven (7)
seconds to stop turning OR more with the wing mowers
down. Observe the visual warning disks on the wing
mowers to indicate turning blades.
IMPORTANT! The mower belts are adjusted to
ensure the blades stop turning within seven
(7) seconds of releasing the blade control
lever. If you are making any belt adjustments
whatsoever, for your safety and the safety of
others around you, you must ensure the belts
are re-adjusted to achieve this design
specification.
