Always cut downward on slopes, never cut across the face. Always check tractor manual for proper use on slopes. Practice will improve your skills in maneuvering on rough terrain. • A minimum 20% of the tractor and equipment weight must be on tractor front wheels. Without this weight, the tractor could tip over, causing personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with a front-end loader, front wheel weights, ballast in the tires or front tractor weights. When attaining a minimum 20% of the tractor and equipment weight on the front wheels, you must not exceed the ROPS weight certification. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not guess or estimate! 12 A TRANSPORT SAFETY • Always observe state and local laws governing highway safety and the travel of farm machinery on public roads. • The use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in most locations. However, some locations prohibit their use. Local laws should be checked for all lighting and marking requirements. • When driving the tractor and equipment on roads or highways use flashing amber warning lights and a slow moving vehicle (SMV) identification emblem. Do not exceed 20 mph. Reduce speed on rough roads and surfaces. • Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic. • Always install transport locks, pins or brackets before transporting. • Do not drink and drive. • Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming traffic in all circumstances, including narrow bridges, intersections, etc. Watch for traffic when crossing or operating in close proximity to roadways. • Turn curves and go up and down hills only at a low speed at a gradual steering angle. Make certain that a least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to maintain safe control. Slow down on rough and/or uneven surfaces. Always check tractor manual for proper use on slopes. • Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when operating close to ditches and/or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners. • Never allow riders on either tractor or mower. 13 ATTACHING TO TRACTOR A WARNING a Never stand between tractor and finishing mower while backing the tractor up to the hitch. STEP 1 Attach to tractor's three point hitch as described in the Tractor's Operator’s Manual. STEP 2 Apply any multi-purpose grease to the outside of the male (inner) PTO shaft section. Assemble PTO shaft and install on Rough Cut Mower and tractor. A WARNING Failure to install the retaining clip on gearbox input shaft would allow the driveline to swing freely if the bolt is sheared causing possible injury or death. STEP 3 Pull shaft on tractor side of PTO shaft yoke to be sure it has locked in place. Make certain PTO shaft guards are in place and good working condition. STEP 4 The PTO shaft guard is a non-rotating design and must be secured prior to equipment use. Using the chain on each yoke guard to attach to a fixed object on the tractor and equipment end that will not allow the PTO shaft guard to rotate during operation. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS This mower was designed to CUT PASTURE GRASS AND ROUGH AREAS UP TO 1" IN DIAMETER. Use of your Rough Cut Mower to cut any material larger than 1 " in diameter 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. Consult your tractor manual for instructions. 14 CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT To prevent blades from striking the ground, your Rough Cut Mower should be set to the highest position that will give you the desired cutting height. By setting your mower up this way, you reduce blade wear and stress on the mower. Mowing at regular intervals will produce far better results than periodic mowing. STEP 1 Raise Rough Cut Mower off the ground with the tractor and SECURELY BLOCK IN POSITION. Remove 5/8" bolt from adjusting bracket. (See Figure 11). Figure 11 STEP 2 Move the A-frame tailwheel up or down to desired cutting height. Reinstall 5/8" bolt and tighten to secure in position. (See Figure 12) Note: It may be necessary to loosen the A-frame tailwheel attachment bolts. (See Figure 4, page 6) Figure 12 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 horsepower and ground speeds of approximately 3-5mph. If finer shredding results are desired, adjust the deck to level or slightly lower in the rear. This method will keep foliage under the deck longer resulting in finer pieces. The down side of this method is if it takes a lot more horsepower and very slow ground speed. This method is not recommended unless a PTO speed of 540 RPM can be maintained. 15 ROUGH CUT MOWER OPERATION STEP 1 Before each use, perform the maintenance described in maintenance section (page 17). STEP 2 Read, understand, and follow the information on safety, pre...
