Mowers blades. Do not use Mowers on stony ground.
2. Make the following machine checks before operating the Mowers.
a. All hook-up pins should be secured.
b. All shields should be in place and secured.
c. All bolts and lock nuts should be present and tight.
d. Make sure the blades are not broken or loose.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Proper servicing and adjustments are the key to the long life of any machine. With careful and
systematic inspection of the Mowers, costly maintenance, time, and repair can be avoided.
! BEFORE BEGINNING TO WORK, THE FOLLOWING INSPECTION AND CHECKS SHOULD BE
PERFORMED:
1. Be sure all Mowers blades, bolts, and lock nuts are tight.
2. Be certain all guards and shields are in place and secure.
3. Grease driveline shaft and all other grease fittings.
4. Clear area to be worked of rocks, branches, and other foreign objects. Do not use Mowers on
stony ground.
5. After working the first 50 feet, stop and check to see that the Mowers is adjusted properly.
6. Do not make sharp turns or attempt to back up while Mowers is on the ground.
7. Never work close to or on steep slopes.
8. Do not allow anyone including yourself near the Mowers when it is operating.
GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
It’s now time to do a running operational safety check. If at any time during this safety check you
detect a malfunction in either the Mowers or tractor, shut the tractor off immediately, remove the
key, and make necessary repairs or adjustments before continuing.
Ensure the tractor is stopped and the lawn mower is connected to the tractor. Minimize the throttle
modulation of the gasoline engine. Use the key to start the engine and gradually increase the
throttle, ensuring the engine speed increases; when the engine speed is 2000r/min, and the cutter
shaft clutch is closed, the cutter shaft will start to work. The engine speed will reach the maximum
torque when the operating speed is 2800r/min. It is recommended to use this speed for maximum
working resistance. The higher the engine speed, the easier it is for the blade to cut the grass. You
should now be ready to move to the crushing site to begin working. It would be best if you had
inspected and should only be Crushing in an area you are familiar with, which is relatively free of
debris and unseen objects. Never assume an area is clear. If you strike an object, stop the tractor and
Mowers immediately to inspect the rotor and make any necessary repairs before resuming
operation. It pays to check a new area and to develop a plan before you cut. The average working
speed will be between 2-5 mph.
Generally, the cut quality will be better at lower ground speeds and crushing denser ground cover or
heavier brush may create the need to slow down. Always cut downward on slopes and avoid
crossing the face of steep slopes. Avoid sharp drop sand cross diagonally through dips to prevent

14
hanging up the tractor and Mowers. Slowdown in turns and avoid sharp turns if possible. Remember
to look back often.
SECTION 3: ADJUSTMENTS
! CAUTION
1. Engage parking brake, shut off tractor, remove key.
2. Ensure Mowers with special supports if it is
necessary to lift Mowers off the ground to adjust!
If not supported, the Mowers
LEVELING THE MOWERS
Adjust the height of the lawn mower by adjusting the tires
1. Park tractor and Mowers on a flat level surface.
2. Adjust the handle of the lawn mower tire, first
adjust one side to the specified height, and then
adjust the handle on the other side reaches the
specified height.
3. Ensure that the lower arms are stabilized to
prevent excessive side movement.
4. Adjust the screw on the traction frame and adjust
the front and rear inclination of the machine.
BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
! WARNING
Excessive tension on the belt may lead to premature
failure of belt and drive components. Excessive tension on
the belt may also lead to a safety hazard to the operator or
bystanders.
The Belt tension should be checked after the first 20 hours
of use and every 40 hours thereafter.
1. Check belt tension by applying approximately 22
pounds of pressure halfway between the pulleys.
The belt should deflect approximately 3/8".
2. Belt tension can be adjusted at the belt tension
bolt. Turn belt tension bolt until desired belt
tension is achieved.
CRUSHING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The machines cutting height depends upon the position of
Adjustment plate.
1. Remove bolts that fix the roller height on both sides.
2. Lift or lower both sides of roller inequal measurements.
3. Replace bolts and re-tighten to the proper torque

accumulated on the Mowers and moving
parts Scrape off compacted dirt from under
the hood and then wash the surface
thoroughly with a garden hose.
2. Check rotor blade and blade bolts for wear
and replace if necessary. See “Rotor blade
Replacement” on
3. Inspect Mowers for loose, damaged, or
worn parts and adjust or replace as
needed.
4. Repaint parts where paint is worn or
scratched to prevent rust. Ask your dealer
for aerosol touch-up paint It are also
available in touch-up bottles with brush,
quarts, and gallon sizes by adding TU, QT,
or GL to the end of the aerosol part
number.
5. Replace all damaged or missing labels.
6. A light coat of oil or grease may also be
applied to areas where paint has worn off
to minimize oxidation. 7. Lubricate as
noted under “Lubrication Points”.
