Section 2 Operating Instructions
Transporting
!
CAUTION!
When mowing in sandy soil areas, wear may occur to your
mower blades caused from sand erosion. Frequent inspection
should be made and blades replaced if damaged.
NOTE: Always disengage PTO before raising the
mower to transport position.
Operating Instructions
2. When raising the mower to the transport position, be
sure that powershaft does not contact tractor or mow-
er. Adjust and set the tractor’s 3-point hitch lift height
so that the PTO shaft does not contact mower deck, in
the fully raised position.
Proper Servicing and adjustments is the key to the long life
of any machine. With careful and systematic inspection of
the mower, you can avoid costly maintenance, time and
repair.
Before beginning to mow, the following inspection should
be performed:
3. Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when turning;
and, leave enough clearance so the mower does not
contact obstacles such as buildings, trees
or fences.
4. Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting
from one area to another. When traveling on road-
ways, transport in such a way that faster moving vehi-
cles may pass you safely.
2. Check that all plugs in gearbox have been replaced
and tightened properly.
3. Be sure all mower blades, bolts and nuts are tight.
4. Be certain all guards and shields are in place and se-
cure.
5. When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor
to a lower gear.
5. Grease PTO shaft and all other grease fittings.
6. Clear the area to be mowed of rocks, branches and
other foreign objects.
!
CAUTION!
When traveling on public roads, whether at night or during the
day, use accessory lights and devices for adequate warning to
operators of other vehicles. Comply with all Federal, State, and
local laws.‘
7. Lower mower to ground. Set tractor throttle at approx-
imately 1/4 open. Engage PTO to start blades rotat-
ing.
8. Operate with 540 rpm PTO tractor.
Mowing Instructions
6. Clear the area to be mowed of objects and debris that
might be picked up and thrown by the mower blades.
9. At first begin mowing at a slow forward speed and shift
up until the desired speed is achieved - maintaining
540 PTO rpm.
7. Grass is best cut when it is dry. Mowing wet grass can
cause plugging resulting in grass clumps behind the
mower.
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 properly.
8. Grass should be mowed frequently as shorter clip-
pings deteriorate faster.
12. Do not make sharp turns or attempt to back up while
9. If mowing extremely tall grass, it is best to raise cutting
height and mow the area, then lower cutting height
and mow a second time at the desired height.
mower is on the ground.
13. Do not engage PTO with mower in the fully raised po-
sition. Do not engage PTO at full throttle.

Section 3 Adjustments
Leveling the Mower
3-Point Hitch Adjustments
The 3-point hitch system on this mower has been de-
signed for front to back flotation when mowing on uneven
terrain. Adjust the tractor’s top link to place the upper hitch
pin vertically above the lower hitch pins as shown below.
NOTE: Tractor and mower should be on level
ground.
14. Set lower hitches and upper floating hitch, as shown
below in Figure 3-1.
!
CAUTION!
Engage parking brake, shut off tractor, remove key and disen-
gage PTO before making any height adjustments!
15. Start tractor and raise mower, watching that tractor
draw bar (if not removed) does not interfere with mow-
er.
Belt Tension
Refer to Figure 3-2:
16. Slowly lower the mower until gauge wheels touch the
ground and the lower mower 3-point hitch bars are
parallel to the ground in floating position. Set tractor 3-
point stop.
!
CAUTION!
Belt drive system under spring tension; use care to avoid bodily
harm!
17. Set park brake and turn off tractor. Remove key from
ignition.
18. Rotate blades parallel to direction of travel.
1. To check tension apply force at arrow A. With a ten-
sion tester and deflect the belt 1/4". The force required
to get this deflection should range from 7 to 10 lbs.
19. Measure the clearance from the cutting edge to the
ground at front and rear of the blade. This measure-
ment should be equal or have the blade at the front of
the mower not more than 1/2" lower than the blade at
the rear of the mower.
2. To adjust belt tension, adjust eyebolt (#1), as neces-
sary. This adjustment will increase or decrease the
tension on spring (#2).
3. Excessive tension on the belt may lead to premature
failure of belt and drive components. Excessive ten-
sion on the belt may also lead to a safety hazard to the
operator or bystanders. Not enough tension on the
belt may lead to premature failure of the belt due to ex-
cessive slipping.
!
WARNING!
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.

Cutting Height Adjustment
1. Using the tractor, raise the mower off the ground and
support under it with secure blocking so not to let the
mower drift down during maintenance.
2. Holding wheel and yoke assembly up, remove quick-
lock pin from top of gauge wheel spindle. Position full
length spacers and half spacer as required. All spac-
ers on top of spindle tube allows for approximately 3/
4" cutting height. Adjustments range from 3/4" to a
maximum of 3-1/4" in 1/2" increments on FDR1548
mowers and 5 1/4” in 1/2” increments on FDR1560 &
