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! Never direct discharge toward people, animals, or property. Keep bystanders away from equipment. operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pressure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt. Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and secured.
SAFETY RULES ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate. Do not handle blades with bare hands. Careless or improper handling may result in serious injury. Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operating condition.
SAFETY & INSTRUCTIONAL DECALS ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Replace Immediately If Damaged! DANGER DANGER 1 - 15503 SHIELD MISSING DO NOT OPERATE PUT SHIELD ON 2 - 18867 ROTATING BLADES AND THROWN OBJECTS 18867--B 3 - Serial Number Plate Do not put hands or feet under or into mower when engine is running.

SAFETY & INSTRUCTIONAL DECALS ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Replace Immediately If Damaged! WARNING WARNING DO NOT EXCEED PTO SPEED OF 540 RPM PTO speeds higher than 540 RPM can cause equipment failure and personal injury. FALLING OFF CAN RESULT IN BEING RUN OVER. Tractor must be equipped with ROPS (or ROPS CAB) and seat 18866-D belt. Keep foldable ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all times. 5 - 18866 Buckle Up! Keep seat belt securely fastened. Allow no riders.
OPERATION The operator is responsible for the safe operation of the mower. The operator must be properly trained. Operators should be familiar with the mower, the tractor, and all safety practices before starting operation. Read the safety rules and safety decals on page 3 to 7. This mower is designed for lawn and grass mowing. It is not designed for rough conditions or heavy weed mowing. It is equipped with suction type blades for best results in lawn mowing.
ATTACHING MOWER TO TRACTOR CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT WARNING WARNING Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove. Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance. The standard 1-3/8" 6B-spline driveline with a QD yoke is used to connect the mower to the tractor. IMPORTANT 1. Attach the mower hitch pins to the lower tractor lift arms and secure. 2.

Pivot both front caster wheels forward and check that there is clearance between caster wheels and tractor tires. 3.
If mower becomes plugged causing belt to slip for over two seconds follow these steps: 1. Maneuver equipment into a previously cut area and allow mower to clear accumulated material. 2. Continue running at least two minutes, allowing pulleys to cool. Stopping the mower in contact with a very hot pulley will bake and ruin belt. Proper ground speed will depend upon the terrain, the height, and type and density of material to be cut. Normally, ground speed will range from 2 to 5 mph.
OWNER PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST (OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY) ___ Review and follow all safety rules and safety decal instructions on pages 3 through 7. ___ Check that all safety decals are installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged. ___ Check that all shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged. ___ Make sure the driveline guards and tether chains are in good condition. Guards must rotate freely on driveline.
OWNER SERVICE The information in this section is written for operators who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help, your dealer has trained service technicians available. For your protection, read and follow the safety information in this manual. The only approved blocking device for this mower is a jackstand with a load rating of 1000 pounds or more. One jackstand under each corner of the mower (four total) must be installed before working underneath this unit.
Driveshaft Lubrication Use SAE 90W gear lube in the gearbox. Fill to plug on side of gearbox. Lubricate the driveshaft slip joint every 8 operating hours. Failure to maintain proper lubrication could result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, and driveshaft. Check gearbox daily for evidence of leakage at both seals and the gasket between the housing and cover. If leakage is noted, repair immediately. There may be a small amount of lube emitted from the vent plug; this is not considered leakage. 1.
BELT SERVICE Belt Replacement One of the major causes of belt failure is improper installation. Before installing a new belt, check the following: 6. Adjust belt guide G to provide 1/16" to 1/8" clearance from belt. Tighten bolt to 85 lb.-ft. BLADE SERVICE WARNING 1. Check pulley shafts and bearings for wear. 2. Check pulley grooves for cleanliness. 3. Make sure spindles turn freely and without wobble.
Blade Sharpening IMPORTANT ■ When sharpening blades, be sure to balance them. Unbalanced blades will cause excessive vibration which can damage blade spindle bearings. Vibration may also cause structural cracks in mower components. could injure people or damage property. If this machine is not equipped with full chain, rubber, curtain, or belt shielding, operation must be stopped when anyone comes within several hundred feet.
TROUBLE SHOOTING MOWING CONDITIONS PROBLEM Grass cut higher in center of swath than at edge Grass cut lower in center of swath than at edge Streaking conditions in swath Material discharges from mower unevenly; bunches of material along swath POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Height of mower higher at front than at rear Adjust mower height and attitude so that mower rear and front are within 1/2 inch of same height. See instructions on page 9. Loose Blade Check blade hardware.
TROUBLE SHOOTING BELT CONDITIONS PROBLEM Belt slippage POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Mower overloading; Material too tall or heavy Reduce tractor ground speed but maintain full PTO rpm. Cut material twice, one high pass and then mow at desired height. Cut 90 degrees to first pass. Oil on belt from over lubrication Be careful not to over lubricate. Clean lubricant from belt and pulleys with clean rag. Replace oil-soaked belt. Belt hung up or rubbing Check belt position in pulleys and idlers.
DEALER SERVICE The information in this section is written for dealer service personnel. The repair described here requires special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly equipped or your mechanics are not properly trained in this type of repair, you may be time and money ahead to replace complete assemblies. WARNING Before working underneath, read manual instructions, securely block up, and check stability.
