Note: Tighten 1/2” x 3-1/2” and 1/2” x 1” hex head bolts until just snug. This area needs to pivot when adjusting the height. Under tightening can result in excessive wear and flexing.

The hitching system is designed so that the wing mower can be pulled directly behind a tow vehicle without a mower deck or as a left or right wing mower when towed behind a tow vehicle with or without a mower deck. If more than one wing mower is towed, they can be pulled in tandem or one on the left and one on the right or a combination of the above conditions until the desired cutting width is obtained. CAUTION: Do not operate two wing mowers in tandem on slopes greater than 25% (1 foot rise, 4 foot run).
PAGE 11
C. ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT WARNING: Shut off all engines and allow the mower blades to come to a complete stop on the wing mowers and on the tow vehicle before adjusting the cutting height. The mower deck must first be leveled from front to back before the height can accurately be adjusted. See Figure 6. This is generally a one time adjustment that should not need to be performed again. Adjust the levelness of the mower deck as follows: 1. Pull the mowing unit on to a smooth, level surface. 2.
PAGE 12
Adjust the mower as follows: 1. Pull the mower on to a smooth, level surface. 2. Adjust the mower evenly from side to side by measuring to the ground from the lower edge of the mower deck. The desired height will be the distance from the ground to the outside lower edge of the mower deck plus 5/16”. The mower blade cutting edge is 5/16” above the outside lower edge of the mower deck.

Adjustment Crank Adjustment Nut Tube Carrier Arm Upper Pivot Support Figure 8: Securing Crank While Not In Use D. STARTING ENGINE WARNING: Set parking brake on tow vehicle. Attach wing mower tongue to tow vehicle. WARNING: Do not start wing mower unless it is attached to the tow vehicle. Turn on the fuel shut off valve (red colored rotating knob) located inline on the fuel hose. The off position on the valve is when the red handle lines up with the “O” symbol. Set the choke to the desired position.
PAGE 14
E. SHUTTING OFF WING MOWER WARNING: Shift to neutral, disengage power to the mower deck, and set the parking brake before dismounting the tow vehicle. Slow the engine speed down and disengage the clutch by pushing inward on the PTO switch. Allow engine to cool down for a short time before moving the ignition switch to the off position. Turn off the fuel shut off valve (red colored rotating knob) located inline on the fuel hose.

Backing up with one wing mower is easy. Backing becomes a greater challenge as additional wing mowers are towed. Avoid backing up by planning ahead. Make loops instead of backing. WARNING: Look down, to the sides, and behind before and while backing to avoid backing over something or someone. Care should also be taken while backing so that the wing mower or mowers do not jackknife and damage hitches.

MOWER BLADE REMOVAL, BALANCING & INSTALLATION CAUTION: Sharp blades can cause bodily injury if not handled properly. When removing the blade, it is recommended that a block of wood be placed between the blade and the underside of the mower deck. This will allow the removal of the blade without the need to hold the blade by hand.

I. LUBRICATION There are three lubrication points on the wing mower -- one spring-loaded idler pivot and two caster wheel pivots. Lubricate at approximately 10 hr. intervals or more often as required in dusty conditions. Lubricate with a high grade of pressure gun grease. J. TIRE PRESSURE To reduce wing mower bounce on rough yards, the front and rear tire pressure can be reduced so they feel slightly soft (approximately 15 PSI) when they are stepped on. K.
