TROUBLE SHOOTING

MOWING CONDITIONS
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Height of cutter lower at rear or
front
Conditions too wet for mowing
Blades unable to cut that part of
grass pressed by path of tractor
tires
Dull blades
Material too high and too much
material
Grass wet
Rear of cutter too low, trapping
material under cutter
Shear bolt sheared
Slip clutch slipping
SOLUTION
Adjust cutter height and attitude so
that cutter rear and front are within
1/2" of same height.
Allow grass to dry before mowing.
Slow ground speed of tractor but
keep engine running at full PTO
RPM. Cutting lower will help.
Sharpen or replace blades.
Reduce ground speed but main-
tain 540 RPM at tractor PTO or
make two passes over material.
Raise cutter for the first pass and
lower to desired height for the sec-
ond and cut at 90° to first pass.
Raise rear of cutter high enough to
permit material to discharge but
not so high as to cause conditions
listed above.
Allow grass to dry before mowing.
Slow ground speed of tractor but
keep engine running at full PTO
RPM. Cutting lower will help.
Adjust cutter height and attitude.
Install new shear bolt.
Adjust slip clutch according to
instructions in Adjust Slip Clutch,
