  • Page 12: Safety Training

    SAFETY TRAINING  Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our product. Un- fortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator or bystander.  In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and ac- cident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of this equipment.
  • Page 13 PREPARTION  Never operate the tractor and mower until you have read and completely under- stand this manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the safety mes- sages found on the safety signs on the tractor and mower.  Personal protection equipment including hardhat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintenance, re- pairing, removal, or moving the implement.
  • Page 14: Operational Safety

    OPERATIONAL SAFETY  The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards that cannot be protected against by the mechanical means or product design. All operators of this equip- ment must read and understand this entire manual, paying particular attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using.
  • Page 15 OPERATIONAL SAFETY continued...  Never allow the cutting blade to contact such items. Cut material higher at first, allowing rotary mower to clear hidden objects. Never assume an area is clear. Always Check!  Always stop the tractor, disengage PTO, set brake, shut off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key, lower implement to the ground and allow mower blades to come to a complete stop before dismounting tractor.
  • Page 16: Transportation Safety

    OPERATIONAL SAFETY continued...  Pass rotary mower diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to pre- vent “hanging up” tractor and rotary mower. Practice will improve your skills in maneuvering on rough terrain. Always cut down slopes, never across the face. Always check tractor manual for proper use on slopes.
  • Page 17: Attaching To Tractor

STEP 1 Attach to tractor's category 1 three point hitch as described in the Tractor's Operator’s Manual.

  • Page 20: Operating Instructions

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS This mower was designed to CUT PASTURE GRASS AND ROUGH AREAS UP TO 1" IN DIAMETER.. Use of your rotary mower to cut any material larger than 1" in diame- ter may damage the mower and void your warranty. PRE-OPERATIONAL ADJUSTMENTS Set tractor's lift control stop at a position that will prevent the PTO shaft from coming in contact with the front edge of the mower when it is at full lift.
  • Page 21 Note: For best results in heavier cutting conditions adjust the deck so the rear of the mower is approximately 2" higher than the front. This method requires less horse- power and ground speeds of approximately 3-5mph. If finer shredding results are de- sired, adjust the deck to level or slightly lower in the rear.
  • Page 22: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE Periodically check and maintain proper gear oil level. Every 8 hours, wheel fork (s), wheel hub (s), PTO shaft universal joints (2), and PTO telescoping surface. (See Figures M-1 & M-2) NOTE: Use only a grade Type II tube grease. Before each use check to make sure all safety features are installed and work- ing properly.
