Rules For Safe Operations
LOOK FOR THIS SYMBOL TO POINT OUT
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. IT

vehicle.

cle without proper instruction.

vehicle or on the gang reel assemblies.

Remove gang mower and loose parts from carton.
Refer to carton contents figure on page 2 to correct-
ly identify parts. Correct assembly of the two bar
hitch is important in operating performance of the
gang mowers.
Adjustments (Hitch Assembly)
1. Cutting height of the gang mower is adjustable
from 5/8 to 3 inches. See instructions for
changing adjustment from high to low cut.
2. The tow bar should be parallel to the ground
for operation. The tow bar in this position is
approximately 9 inches above the ground level.
When tow bar is in inverted position, it is
approximately 11 inches above the ground
level.
3. Regardless of cutting height, tow bar should be
parallel to the ground. The hitch for your gang mower has
been designed to give dependable operating per-
formance and flexibility under many lawn mowing
conditions.
It is easily and quickly attached to your towing vehi-
cle. The clevis pin and spring assembly provided
with each hitch permits independent floating action
so that the mower will follow the contour of the
lawn. See figure 3.
Always begin with transmission in first (low gear,
and gradually increase speed as required.
