6. Position drive belt over the drive and driven sheaves and

place idler to the inside of the belt as shown in Figure 37.

7. Position front support bar in the tractor saddle brackets

and secure with the locks and latches, see Figure 38.

4. Drive tractor to the work area before starting the mower.

5. Slowly engage the implement power clutch with the engine

running at 'A throttle. Increase engine speed to full throttle

after the blades are rotating.

CAUTION: KEEP BYSTANDERS AWAY FROM

THE AREA WHILE THE BLADES ARE ROTA TING.

6. The mower blade speed is directly related to the engine

speed. For best mowing results, OPERATE ENGINE

SPEED AT FULL THROTTLE. Regulate travel speed

on hydrostatic models with the hydrostatic control lever.

Regulate travel speed on gear shift models by selecting an

appropriate gear. The power requirement increases in

dense, high grass conditions. If travel speed of the tractor

is too fast for mowing conditions, the engine and thus

the mower will slow down reducing the cutting efficiency

of the mower. In some conditions, excessive FORWARD

travel speeds may cause the en^ne to 'stell and the mower

to plug or a drive belt to slip.

7. For any emergency or "panic" stops, depress the clutch

brake pedal on gear shift, models or the neutralizer and

brake pedal on the hydrostatic models.

NOTE: KEEP FOOT OFF PEDAL DURING NORMAL

OPERATION. NEVER USE PEDAL AND HYDROSTATIC

CONTROL LEVER SIMULTANEOUSLY AS THE PARTS

ARE INTER-CONNECTED AND THE LNIKAGE COULD

BECOME DAMAGED OR MISADJUSTED. ON GEAR SHIFT

MODELS. BELT SLIPPAGE COULD OCCUR.

MOWER ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE

BE CAREFUL: NEVER ATTEMPT TO SERVICE

OR MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE MOWER

WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. WHEN SER

VICING OR MAKING ADJUSTMENTS, IT IS A

GOOD PRACTICE TO USE THE FOLLOWING

PROCEDURE:

Reverse the attaching procedure to remove the mower from

the trwtor.

BEFORE OPERATING THE TRACTOR

Before operating your rotary mower, carefuiiy read this

manual. Become thoroughly familiar with the controls, safety

precautions and proper operating procedures. The more

familiar you become with the tractor and mower the better

results you will have.

Use the following procedure to operate the mower:

1. Move cutting height adjustment lever. Figure 37, to one of

the six positions available to obtain the desired height of

cut.

2. Raise the mower by pulling the attachment lift lever rear

ward until the lock snaps in place.

3. Start the engine as outlined in the TRACTOR OPERATION

section."'

1. Disengage implement power clutch.

2. Hydrostatic modeis — Piace hydrostatic control lever in

the "park-start" position and appiy brake lock.

Gear shift models — Place gear shift lever in first gear and

apply brake lock.

' 3. Lower the mower.

'4. Stop engine and remove ignition key.

.5. Disconnect spark plug wire.

f ADJUSTING BLADE LEVEL AND PITCH

Proper leveling of the blades is essential in obtaining a

smooth, evenly cut lawn. Blade pitch is correct when the

front blade tips are slightly lower than the rear blade tips.

Improper pitch adjustment will affect engine power require-i'

ments and can cause uneven cutting. .r

Use the following procedure to adjust blade level and

pitch:

1. Check tire pressure and adjust as required (front tires -

10 lbs.; rear tires - 6 lbs.)

2. Place tractor on a smooth level surface, preferably a

concrete slab or smooth floor.

3. Place cutting height adjustment lever. Figure 37, in the

highest cutting position.

4. With the attachment lift lever, lower the mower so the

roller assembly firmly rests on the floor.

5. Rotate the blades until they are parallel to the roller

assembly as shown in Figure 39. Measure distances A and

B (from end of blade tips to the floor). These distances

should be equal. If they are not equal, loosen ro ^

assembly adjusting bolt C or D and pivot the mower dk.

up or down until distances A and B are equal with the roller

resting firmly on the floor.
