When you get to the end of a pass, slightly raise the
mower (2-4”) before turning. Never raise the
mower entirely while the blades are turning. If the
mower must be raised higher than 12” from ground
level, disengage the tractor PTO and wait for all
mower rotation to come to a complete stop before
proceeding to raise the mower.
When turning, the angle between the tractor and
mower should not be so great that a clattering of
the U-joints occurs. Sharp turns can cause
premature failure of the joints and place pressure
on the tractor PTO shaft and could cause extensive
mechanical damage to the mower and tractor.
OPS-R-0027_A
Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any
reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower deck
exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard
and could cause serious injury or even death from objects thrown from the Blades.
(SRM-7)
Large, dense, or wet vegetation may need to be
mowed in two or more passes to achieve a uniform
cut. In such conditions, raise the cutting height to
12” or more on the first pass
