The drawbar should also be checked for clearance when the unit is raising for the first time. 2. Align lower link arms of the tractor to hitch clevises on the mower. Insert lower hitch pins into lower ball swivels and attach link pins.
TRANSPORTING NOTE: Always disengage PTO before raising mower to transport position. 1. When raising the mower to transport position, ensure that the driveline does not contact the tractor or mower. Adjust and set tractor drawbar height so the driveline does not reach the mower deck in the fully raised position.
10. Mower blades will cut better at a faster blade speed than at reduced throttle. 11. After mowing the first 50 feet, stop and check to see that the mower is adjusted correctly. 12. Do not make sharp turns or attempt to back up while the mower is on the ground. 13.
BELT TENSION CAUTION Excessive tension on the belt may lead to premature failure of belt and drive components. Excessive tension on the belt may also lead to a safety hazard to the operator or bystanders. The belt tension should be checked after the first 20 hours of use. And then every 40 hours of use.
