Step 6: Inspect all guards to insure they are in good working order. If they are not, replace them
before using the unit.
Step 7: Check the bolts, the nuts, and the belt to insure each is tight and secure.
Height Adjustment
To prevent blades from striking the ground, your mower should be set to the highest
position that will give the desired grass height. By setting the mower, you will
reduce the blade wear and stress on the mower. Mowing at regular intervals will yield
far better results than periodical mowing, e.g., weekly and bi-weekly mowing.
Step 1: Raise the mower off the ground with the tractor and SECURELY BLOCK IT IN POSITION.
Step 2: Remove the pin from the top of the wheel fork assembly. Lower the wheel fork assembly from
the tail wheel arm.
Step 3: Arrange the spacers until the desired cutting height is achieved. Cutting heights range from
approximately 1-1/2-10 inches in height.
Step 4: Reinstall the wheel fork assembly into the tail wheel arm and install the keeper pin.
Step 5: Repeat the adjustment process on the remaining wheel fork assembly.
NOTE: Make sure each wheel fork is adjusted to the same height for an even cut.
Step 6: Check to ensure that the tail wheel does not come within the specified 1" of the rear deck.
Mower Operation
Step 1: Before each use, perform the steps described in the Maintenance section.
Step 2: Read, understand, and follow the information on safety training, preparation, starting and
stopping safety, operational safety, and the transport safety warning sections of this manual.
Step 3: With the tractor running, lower the mower to the ground so that the deck surface of the mower
is parallel to the ground.
