GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of this manual is to assist you in operat-
ing and maintaining your mower. Read it carefully. It
furnishes information and instructions that will help
you achieve years of dependable performance.
These instructions have been compiled from exten-
sive field experience and engineering data. Some
information may be general in nature due to unknown
and varying operating conditions. However, through
experience and these instructions, you should be able
to develop procedures suitable to your particular situ-
ation.
■
Some illustrations in this manual show the
mower with safety shields removed to provide a
better view. The mower should never be operated
with any safety shielding removed.
Throughout this manual, references are made to right
and left direction. These are determined from the
operator’s position in the tractor seat. Blade rotation is
clockwise as viewed from the top of the mower.
The illustrations and data used in this manual were
current at the time of printing but, due to possible
inline production changes, your machine may vary
slightly in detail. We reserve the right to redesign and
change the machines as may be necessary without
notification.

PREPARATION
„ Check that all hardware is properly installed.
Always tighten to torque chart specifications
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.
„ Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, concern,
judgement, and proper training of personnel
involved in the operation, transport, maintenance
and storage of equipment.
„ Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
It has been said “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of operator.
„ Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.

„ Operators must be instructed in and be capable
of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach-
ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to
operate this equipment without proper instruc-
tions.
„ Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate
skin and will cause serious injury or death.
„ Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing
injury or damage.
OPERATION
„ You may not be able to stop the tractor safely if
the clutch or brake pedal mechanisms are improp-
erly adjusted, allowing them to contact mower
components.
„ Make sure that all operating and service person-
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-
grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
„ When the mower lift stops are installed as
instructed in this manual, properly adjusted clutch
and brake pedal mechanisms will not contact
mower components. You should frequently check
that the tractor clutch and brake pedal mechanisms
are in adjustment.

mower, and all safety practices before starting opera-
tion. Read the safety rules and safety decals on and
page 7.
CAUTION
„ Know your controls and how to stop engine
and attachment quickly in an emergency.

Adjust Cutting Height
1. Mower cutting height is raised, lowered, and
maintained by adjusting caster and gauge wheels.
Refer to Figure 2 and accompanying chart for approx-
imate cutting heights.
2. Raise mower with tractor hydraulics to adjust
gauge and caster wheels. It is important that all set-
tings are the same.

Operation Safety
IMPORTANT
■
Power for operating mower is supplied by
tractor mid-PTO. Do not exceed tractor manufac-
turer's rated mid-PTO speed of 2000 rpm maxi-
mum. Know how to stop tractor and mower
quickly in case of an emergency.
„ Do not put mower into service unless dis-
charge chute is installed and in good condition.
Replace if damaged.
■
Should mower become plugged, causing belt
to slip for over two seconds, maneuver equipment
into a previously cut area and allow mower to
clear accumulated material. Continue running at
least two minutes, allowing pulleys to cool. Stop-
ping the mower with belt in contact with a very hot
pulley will bake and ruin belt.
Install Discharge Chute, page 36
CAUTION
„ Stop power unit and equipment immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage
before resuming operation.
■
Mower vibration tends to loosen bolts during
operation. All hardware should be checked regu-
larly to maintain proper torque. It is a good prac-
tice to check mower before each operation to
ensure all bolts are secure.

Operating Techniques
Operating Tips
1. Proper ground speed will depend upon the ter-
rain, the height, type, and density of material to be
cut.
1. Extremely tall material should be cut twice. Set
mower at a higher cutting height for the first pass.
Then cut at desired height at 90 degrees to the first
pass.
2. Normally, ground speed will range from two to five
mph. Tall dense material should be cut at a low
speed; thin medium-height material can be cut at a
faster ground speed.
2. Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts
and require less power.
3. Analyze area to be cut to determine the best pro-
cedure. Consider height and type of grass and terrain
type: hilly, level, or rough.
3. Always operate tractor mid-PTO at 2000 rpm.
This is necessary to maintain proper blade speed and
produce a clean cut.
4. Plan your mowing pattern to travel straight for-
ward whenever possible. Mow with uncut grass to the
left. This will distribute the clippings over the cut area.
Discharging clippings over uncut grass will cause a
build-up and may prevent uniform cutting.
4. Under certain conditions, tractor tires may roll
some grass down and prevent it from being cut at the
same height as the surrounding area. When this
occurs, reduce your ground speed, but maintain 2000
rpm mid-PTO speed. The lower ground speed will
permit grass to at least partially rebound.
5. Use the inside edge of the right front caster wheel
as a cutting guide.
5. Under some conditions, grass will not rebound
enough to be cut evenly. In general, lower cutting
heights give a more even cut with less tendency to
leave tire tracks. However, it is better to cut grass fre-
quently rather than too short. Short grass deteriorates
rapidly in hot weather and invites weed growth during
growing seasons. Follow local recommendations for
the suitable cutting height in your area.
6. When transporting unit a long distance, pin all
four wheels in position 1 as shown in Figure 1, Cut-
ting Height Positions, page 9. Raise mower and
engage lock-up.
7. For a professional touch in large open areas, try
the mowing pattern in Figure 4. Make two or three
passes clockwise to discharge clippings away from
bordering objects. Then cut the lawn in half by mow-
ing down the center. Turn counter-clockwise to the left
at the end of the area over grass previously mowed.
6. When operating the mower, move the hydraulic
control valve to the float position. This will allow the
mower to follow ground contours.

Uneven Terrain
1. Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid
sharp drops to prevent "hanging up" the tractor and
mower. Practice will improve your skills in maneuver-
ing rough terrain.
2. Take all possible precautions when leaving tractor
unattended: disengage mid-PTO, set parking brake,
stop engine, remove key, and lower mower to ground.
„ Do not operate on steep slopes.
„ Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-
denly on slopes.
„ Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on
slopes and rough terrain.
„ Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during
operation.

OWNER SERVICE
The information in this section is written for operators
who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need
help, your dealer has trained service technicians
available. For your protection, read and follow the
safety information in this manual.
CAUTION
„ Always wear relatively tight and belted cloth-
ing to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and
head.
„ Before working underneath, read Operator's
Manual and Blocking Method section. Disconnect
driveline, raise mower, install transport lock,
securely block up all corners, and check stability.
Secure blocking prevents equipment from drop-
ping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic sys-
tem failures, or mechanical component failures.
„ Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
Blocking Method
„ Before working underneath, read Operator's
Manual and Blocking Method section Disconnect
driveline, raise mower, install transport lock,
securely block up all corners, and check stability.
Secure blocking prevents equipment from drop-
ping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic sys-
tem failures, or mechanical component failures.
1. Do not work underneath mower unless it is prop-
erly attached to the tractor and blocked securely.
When properly attached, the unit will be anchored to
minimize front-to-rear movement.
DC2937
Figure 5 Block Location
NOTE: When blocking, you must consider overall sta-
bility of the unit. Just blocking under the unit will not
ensure your safety. The working surface must be level
and solid to support the loaded weight of the blocks.
Test blocking stability before working under any por-
tion of the mower.
2. Raise mower completely, set tractor brakes, turn
engine off, remove key, block tractor wheels front and
rear.
3. Install transport lock (see Transport Lock Opera-
tion, page 9).
4. Disconnect mower driveline from tractor PTO.
5. Install blocks securely under each corner of the
mower, Figure 5.

Lubrication
1. Do not let excess grease collect on or around
parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas.
5. Over-filling the gearbox will cause the excess
gear lube to blow out vent plug. The gear lube could
then ruin the belt.
2. Figure 6 shows the lubrication points. The accom-
panying chart gives the frequency of lubrication in
operating hours, based on normal operating condi-
tions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more
frequent lubrication. Some reference numbers have
more than one location; be sure you lubricate all loca-
tions.
6. Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a
MOLY (molybdenum disulfide) additive for all loca-
tions. Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly before
attaching grease gun. When applied according to the
lubrication chart, one good pump of most guns is suf-
ficient.
7. In addition to the lubrication points shown (Figure
6), oil the six mower lift pivot points (See Oilite Bush-
ing Location, page 21), at least once a year.
3. Use SAE 90W gear lube in the gearbox. Check
gearbox daily for evidence of leakage at both seals
and the gasket between the housing and cover. If
leakage is noted, repair immediately. There may be a
small amount of lube emitted from the vent plug; this
is not considered leakage.
4. Check lube level every 50 hours by removing the
vent plug and inserting an object such as a wooden
pencil through the hole until it touches the bottom of
the gearbox. The oil level should show 1" on the pen-
cil. You may also check the oil by using an Allen
wrench to remove the level plug in the front of the
gearbox.
Drive Shaft Lubrication
1. Lubricate the drive shaft slip joint every 8 operat-
ing hours. Failure to maintain proper lubrication could
result in damage to U-joints, gearbox and drive shaft.
2. Lower mower to ground and apply a bead of
grease all around the male half where it meets the
female half. Raise and lower mower several times to
distribute grease.

Replace Belt
1. Loosen bolt holding belt guide A and swing it
away from pulley B.
2. Pass a loop of belt underneath front of gearbox
stand ahead of gearbox pulley C. Use care not to
over-bend belt as bending can cause internal dam-
age.
■
Use care when installing or removing belt
from spring-loaded idler at step 5. Springs store
energy when extended and, if released suddenly,
can cause personal injury.
3. Route belt over pulley D.
4. Route belt around gearbox pulley C and route a
loop underneath rear of gearbox stand.
One of the major causes of belt failure is improper
installation. Before installing a new belt, check pulley
shafts and bearings for wear. Check pulley grooves
for dirt. Make sure spindles turn freely and without
wobble.
5. Use a 1-1/4" open end wrench to rotate idler arm
E counter-clockwise enough to install belt around idler
pulley F.
6. Route belt around spindle pulley "G" and idler pul-
ley H.
If grooves require cleaning, moisten a cloth with a
non-flammable, non-toxic degreasing agent or com-
mercial detergent and water.
7. Grasp remaining belt loop with both hands and
pull the spring-loaded idler enough to route belt over
spindle pulley B. Make sure spring-loaded idler E piv-
ots freely with belt installed.
Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use
tools to pry belt into pulley groove. Do not roll belt
over pulleys to install. This can cause hidden damage
and premature belt failure.
8. Adjust belt guide A to provide 1/16 to 1/8" clear-
ance from belt. Torque bolt to 85 lbs.-ft.

GEARBOX MAINTENANCE
Read this complete section before starting any repair.
Many steps are dependent on each other.
Leakage may be caused by a vent plug not venting.
To check vent plug operation, remove plug and apply
low air pressure to opening in side of plug. Check to
make sure it is venting out of the top.
Gearbox bearings, gears, and shafts have an interfer-
ence press fit. Gearbox repair is limited to seal, gas-
ket, and vent plug replacement.
Operating gearbox with improper lube level may also
cause seals to leak. Also check for housing cracks. If
any of these conditions exist, correct them, clean area
where leakage was evident, return mower to service,
and check to make sure leakage has been stopped.
Always maintain correct gear lube level in gearbox.
Be sure proper vent plug is installed.
Troubleshooting is an important part of gearbox main-
tenance. Check for leakage and bad bearings.
Bearing maladjustment or failure is indicated by noise
and excessive side and end play in gear shafts. If this
is indicated, replace the gearbox.
Leakage is a very serious problem and must be cor-
rected immediately or damage to gearbox and belt
will result. Remove gearbox from mower to repair
leakage problems.

3. Place seal squarely on housing (spring-loaded lip
toward inside of gearbox). Select a seal driver, a
piece of pipe or tubing with an OD that will set on out-
side edge of seal but will clear housing. A driver that
is too small will bow seal cage and ruin seal.
1. Clean areas in housing where seal outer diameter
seats. Inspect gear shafts. Pay specific attention to
areas where seals seat. Check for cracks, grooves,
nicks or bumps. Replace housing or shaft if damage
cannot be repaired by resurfacing with emery cloth.
4. Carefully press seal into housing, preventing dis-
tortion to metal seal cage. Seat vertical seal flush with
housing and horizontal seal against shoulder in hous-
ing.
2. Lubricate seal lip and carefully guide over shaft
using a blunt tool such as a letter opener. Be careful
not to roll seal lip under. Do not use a knife as it will
nick and ruin seal.
Distortion to seal case or damage to seal lip will
cause seal to leak. Remove and replace seals dam-
aged in installation.
