ROTARY MOWER OPERATION

STEP 1

Before each use perform the maintenance described in maintenance section

on page 24.

STEP2

Read, understand, and follow the information on safety training, preparation,

starting and stopping safety, operational safety, transport safety warning sec-

tions of this manual (pages 14 thru 18)

STEP 3

With tractor running, lower rotary mower to ground so that the deck surface of

the mower is parallel to the ground.

STEP 4

With the tractor at idle RPM, engage PTO and slowly advance throttle to 540

PTO RPM. NOTE: Rotary mower designed to run at 540 PTO RPM only.

STEP 5

Select a low gear for the tractor and begin to mow. Tractor ground speed is to be

controlled by gear selection only and not engine speed. Tractor ground speed

should allow rotary mower to maintain 540 PTO RPM and thus maximum blade tip

speed.

NOTE: Do not allow the tractor engine or rotary mower to bog down or stall.

This causes undue wear and tear on the mower and tractor. If this continues to

happen reduce ground speed and raise cutting height of rotary mower.

STEP 6

After each use clean all debris from the top and bottom of the rotary mower.

Replace any missing or illegible safety decals. Inspect for any damaged or worn

parts and replace before next use. Store rotary mower in a dry environment.
