SAFETY RULES ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! 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. PREPARATION Check that all hardware is properly installed. Always tighten to torque chart specifications unless instructed otherwise in this manual.
SAFETY RULES ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! If the clutch or brake pedal mechanisms can contact mower components, do not put mower into service until properly adjusted. Do not operate on steep slopes. Do not put mower into service unless discharge chute is installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged. Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on slopes and rough terrain. Keep bystanders away from equipment.
SAFETY RULES ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! The maximum transport speed for towed and semi-mounted machines is 20 mph (32 km/h). Regardless of the maximum speed capability of the towing tractor, do not exceed the implement’s maximum transport speed. Doing so could result in: • Loss of control of the implement and tractor • Reduced or no ability to stop during braking • • Implement tire failure Damage to the implement or its components.
SAFETY & INSTRUCTIONAL DECALS ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Replace Immediately If Damaged! WARNING HIGH-PRESSURE HYDRAULIC OIL LEAKS CAN PENETRATE SKIN RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY, GANGRENE OR DEATH. n Check for leaks with cardboard; never use hand. n Before loosening fittings: lower load, release pressure, and be sure oil is cool. 19924-B n Consult physician immediately if skin penetration occurs.
SAFETY & INSTRUCTIONAL DECALS ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Replace Immediately If Damaged! WARNING DANGER TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, n Read Operator’s Manual (available from dealer) and follow all safety precautions. ROTATING BLADES AND THROWN OBJECTS n Keep all shields in place and in good condition. n Operate mower from tractor seat only. n Lower mower, stop engine and Do not put hands or feet under or into mower when engine is running.
OPERATION 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. In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Operation Cont’d 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 approximate cutting heights. 2. Raise mower with tractor hydraulics to adjust gauge and caster wheels. It is important that all settings are the same. DB2935 Approximate Cutting Height Position 1.50” 1 2.12” 2 2.75” 3 3.38” 4 4.0” 5 Figure 2 Cutting Height Adjustment IMPORTANT ■ Avoid very low cutting heights.
Operation Cont’d Remove Mower from Tractor NOTE: The lift mechanism maybe left on the tractor when mower is removed. 1. Lift mower off of ground and remove adjustment pins from gauge and caster wheel adjustment points. 2. Lower mower to ground, stop engine, and remove key. 3. Remove driveshaft from tractor mid-PTO shaft. 6. Remove the pins and leave the linkage attached to mower frame (flip lift bars down). Refer to Attach Mower to Tractor, page 40 for locations. 7. Raise mower lift mechanism.
Operation Cont’d Operating Techniques Operating Tips 1. Proper ground speed will depend upon the terrain, 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. 3.
Operation Cont’d Uneven Terrain WARNING Do not operate on steep slopes. Do not stop, start, or change directions suddenly on slopes. 1. Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent "hanging up" the tractor and mower. Practice will improve your skills in maneuvering 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.
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. WARNING CAUTION 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.
OWNER SERVICE Cont’d Lubrication 1. Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas. 2. Figure 6 shows the lubrication points. The accompanying chart gives the frequency of lubrication in operating hours, based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication. Some reference numbers have more than one location; be sure you lubricate all locations. 3. Use SAE 90W gear lube in the gearbox.
OWNER SERVICE Cont’d DC2962A REF DESCRIPTION FREQUENCY 1 Caster pivot 8 hrs. 2 Chaster wheel 8 hrs. 3 Blade Spindle 24 hrs. 4 Gearbox- Check level (check for leaks daily) 50 hrs. 5 Drive shaft U-Joints 8 hrs. 6 Rear gauge wheels 8 hrs. 7 Drive shaft slip joint 8 hrs. 8 Spring Take-Up pivot arm (30W Oil) 24 hrs.
OWNER SERVICE Cont’d BLADE SERVICING Inspect blades for condition and proper installation each time before operation. Replace any blade that is bent, excessively nicked, worn or has any other damage. Small nicks can be ground out when sharpening. Remove Blades 1. For right and left spindles, install spindle lock wrench (5) through belt shield (3) and into holes in spindle pulley as shown in Figure 7. Remove bolt (8) that has RIGHT HAND THREADS. Remove cup washers (7), washer (6), and blade (1). 4 5 3 2.
OWNER SERVICE Cont’d Install Blades Refer to Figure 7. CAUTION Your dealer can supply genuine replacement blades. Substitute blades may not meet original equipment specifications and may be dangerous. 1. Install spindle lock wrench (5) through belt shield (3) and into holes in spindle pulley as shown Figure 7. 2. Install shoulder washer (2) if removed, small end up. Make sure blade cutting edge is positioned to lead in a clockwise rotation, as viewed from top of mower. ■ 3.
OWNER SERVICE Cont’d Replace Belt 1. Loosen bolt holding belt guide A and swing it away from pulley B. WARNING ■ 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. 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.
DEALER SERVICE The information in this section is written for dealer service personnel. The repair described here requires special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly equipped or your mechanics are not properly trained in this type of repair, you may be time and money ahead to replace complete assemblies CAUTION Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid entanglement in moving parts.
DEALER SERVICE Cont’d Assemble Blade Spindle IMPORTANT ■ 10. To prevent distortion to metal seal cage, carefully press seal into housing.
