7.4 Starting the Tractor The procedure to start the tractor is model specific. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for starting procedures for your particular tractor. Consult an authorized dealer if the starting procedure is unclear. Ensure the 3-point control lever is in the lowered position and the PTO is disengaged before starting the tractor.
Page 77
7.6 Driving the Tractor and Implement Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the tractor and unit. Moving slowly at first will also prevent the tractor from rearing up and loss of steering control. The tractor should never be operated at speeds that cannot be safely handled or which will prevent the operator from stopping quickly during an emergency.
Inclines and ditches should be approached along a line which is at an angle as shown. This type of path will reduce the possibility of resulting damage. If the gradient is so steep that such an approach increases the possibility of a tractor roll-over, select an alternate crossing path.
Page 79
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the operating parts of the mower head. These items could then swing outside the housing at greater velocities than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or even death.
Page 80
Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing objects for great distances (300 feet or more) and causing serious injury or death. Follow safety messages carefully. STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 300 Feet UNLESS: -Front and Rear Deflectors, Chain Guards, or Bands are installed and in good, workable condition;...
Page 81
8.3 Ground Speed Ground speed for mowing will depend upon the height, type, and density of vegetation to be cut. Recommended speed for efficient mower performance is between 2 and 5 mph(3-8 kph). Operate the mower at the proper speed to maintain blade speed for a clean cut. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual or the tractor instrument panel for the engine speed and gear to provide the desired ground speed.
Page 82
OPERATION MOWER LIFT The handle nearest the center of the tractor, actuates the Lift Cylinder (Inboard). Pulling the valve handle back, towards the operator, causes the Lift Cylinder to raise the Extension Arm. If the handle is released, the valve will automatically return to center and the Extension Arm will be locked in place.

OPERATION 9.2 Control Location and Functions The side mower height is controlled with a two or three spool valve and is coordinated as shown below. The optional three spool valve allows for the operation of a rear rotary mower or side ditcher. If the unit is equipped with a three spool valve, do not operate the third spool handle unless a rear rotary or ditcher is mounted.
Page 86
9.3 Operating the Mower Only operate the mower from the tractor operator’s seat with the seatbelt securely fastened. The tractor must be equipped with a ROPS in the raised position or a ROPS cab. The mower is designed to cut vegetation up to 2” in diameter. Sharp blades will produce a cleaner cut and require less power.
Page 87
When rotating parts are in motion, serious injury may occur if caution is not used or danger is not recognized. Never allow bystanders within 300 feet of the machine when in operation. Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects - such as gravel, rocks and debris.
Page 88
When encountering a very severe condition which causes the tractor to stall, disengage mower, start tractor, raise the mower from the cut. Shut tractor off and inspect the mower, blades and disk for damage before engaging mower again. If the blades jam or stop, disengage the clutch and raise the head slightly or back the tractor up. Normally, this will clear the cutter head.
Page 89
All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including (but not limited to) - the Deflectors, Chain Guards, Steel Guards, Gearbox Shields, PTO integral shields, and Retractable Door Shields should be used and maintained in good working condition. All safety devices should be inspected carefully at least daily for missing or broken components.
9.4 Shutting Down the Implement To shut down attached mower head, first bring the tractor to a complete stop. Decrease engine RPM to idle then disengage cutterhead. The mower head will come to a complete stop within a suitable amount of time. Do not engage or disengage the cutterheads at a high RPM unless there is an emergency situation.
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement. (SRM-20) 11. MOWER STORAGE It is recommended that the mower be stored with the mower fully lowered to ground level. If the mower is stored in the raised position, select a level area and place blocks under the mower to prevent the mower from falling BEFORE disconnecting the mower from the tractor.
