SAFETY RULES ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by an operator’s single careless act. In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of equipment.
SAFETY RULES ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on slopes and rough terrain. Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during operation. Stop power unit and equipment immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine, remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before resuming operation.

OPERATION & SERVICE MOWING GRASS Woods mowers are equipped with suction-type blades which make them ideal for finish mowing large areas of lawn. The machine should be run level when mowing, and the uncut area kept to the left side (right side on lefthand machine) to prevent small windrow that might otherwise occur.
MOWER SPINDLE ASSEMBLIES CLEANING Mower spindles are equipped with two tapered roller bearings. The proper adjustment is held by a spring pin. It is not intended that these bearings be adjusted during their useful life. When difficulty is experienced with the mower spindle assembly, time and trouble will be saved by buying a completely new spindle assembly. After Each Use ● Remove large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass, crop residue, etc. from machine.

If the back of the mower is down, the idlers will have to be down further. Belts must be in proper alignment with sheave grooves as shown in Figure 6 through Figure 8. PTO Pulleys PTO Pulleys must be moved in or out to cause the belt to be in alignment with the idlers. Belt Tension Run belts very tight. Slipping will heat and ruin a belt but tension is not harmful.
