nut.
7. Install the M20x110 bolt with the 1-1/8” spacer into the A-frame support.
8. Insert the M20x140 bolt into the floating yokes. The order should be as follows: bolt,
first half of floating yoke, 1-3/8” bushing, A-frame support, M20 jam nut, second half
of floating yoke, M20 stover nut. The two M20 jam nuts need to be jammed against
each side of the linking plates of the grooming mower. This will allow some motion in
the bushing.
9. Loosen the M16x40 bolts that secure the top hitch arms to the rear support plates of
the mower. Only loosen slightly. The arms must be able to move slightly up and
down.
10.Tighten all hardware, ensuring all bolts and nuts have enough play to allow quick
hitch adapter to move up and down.

OPERATOR’S MANUAL
2 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety is the primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products.
Unfortunately our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single
careless act of an operator.
In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident
prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training
of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of
equipment. It is the operator’s responsibility to read and understand all safety and
operating instructions in the manual and to follow these.
Allow only properly trained personnel to operate the mower. Working with unfamiliar
equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual, and the manual for your
tractor, before assembly or operation, to acquaint yourself with the machines. It is the
mower owner’s responsibility, if this machine is used by any person other than yourself,
is loaned or rented, to make certain that the operator, prior to operating, reads and
understands the operator’s manuals and is instructed in safe and proper use.
2.01 - Preparation
1. Before operating equipment read and understand the operator’s manual and the
safety signs (see fig. 5).
2. Thoroughly inspect the implement before initial operation to assure that all
packaging materials, i.e. wires, bands, and tape have been removed.
3. Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and
gloves are recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment,
maintaining and/or repairing the implement.
4. Operate the mower only with a tractor equipped with an approved
Roll-Over-Protective-System (ROPS). Always wear your seat belt. Serious injury or
even death could result from falling off the tractor.
5. Clear area to be cut of stones, branches or other debris that might be thrown,
causing injury or damage.
6. Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
7. Ensure mower is properly mounted, adjusted and in good operating condition.

GROOMING MOWERS
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
3 - OPERATION
You have purchased a three spindle mower designed especially for the mowing of
grassy areas where a highly professional cut is required without wasting time.
This mower is perfect for the maintenance of parks, private lawns, industrial parks,
airports, hospital grounds, schools, highways, golf courses, sport complexes, etc. The
GM1 series, for tractors up to 30 HP, come in working widths of 4’, 5’ and 6’
respectively. The mower can be either tractor front or rear mounted. On your mower,
the tractor PTO transmits its power through a driveline to a speed multiplier gearbox. A
pulley is attached to the pinion gear shaft of the gearbox which, via high resistance
belts, transmits power to pulleys coupled to the three individual spindle shafts. Blades
are secured to these shafts which turn at a high blade tip speed to cut the grass.
Our grooming mowers comes equipped with 4 swivel wheels. Aside from regulating the
cutting height, the wheels are set in such a way as to allow the mower to follow the
contour of the terrain and give a precise level cut even in undulating conditions.
3.01 - Operational Safety
CAUTION: Our mowers are designed considering safety as the most important
aspect and are the safest available in today’s market. Unfortunately, human
carelessness can override the safety features built into our machines. Injury
prevention and work safety, aside from the features on our mowers, are very
much due to the responsible use of the equipment. It must always be operated
prudently following with great care, the safety instructions laid out in this manual.
1. The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards which cannot be prevented
by mechanical means or product design. All operators of this equipment must read
and understand this entire manual, paying particular attention to safety and
operating instructions, prior to using.
2. Do not operate the tractor and mower when you are tired, sick or when using
medication.
3. Keep all helpers and bystanders at least several feet from a rotary mower. Only
properly trained people should operate this machine.
4. The majority of accidents involve entanglements on the driveline, injury of
bystanders by objects thrown by the rotating blades, and operators being knocked
off the tractor by low hanging limbs and then being run over by the mower. Accidents
are most likely to occur with machines that are loaned or rented to someone who
has not read the operator’s manual and is not familiar with a rotary mower.

7. Do not allow riders on the mower or tractor at any time. There is no safe place for
riders.
8. Do not operate unless all personnel, livestock and pets are several feet away to
prevent injury by thrown objects.
9. Before backing up, disengage the mower and look behind carefully.
10.Install and secure all guards and shields before starting or operating.
11.Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from moving parts.
12.This rotary mower is designed for use only on tractors with 540 rpm power take off.
13.Never operate tractor and mower under trees with low hanging limbs. Operators can
be knocked off the tractor and then run over by the rotating blades.
14.The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use.
However, they could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as steel guard
rails and concrete abutments. Such impact could cause the broken objects to be
thrown outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage,
serious injury, or even death, never allow the cutting blades to contact such
obstacles.
15.Frequently check mower blades. They should be sharp, free of nicks and cracks and
securely fastened.
16.Stop mower immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn engine off, remove key,
inspect and repair any damage before resuming operation.
17.Stay alert for holes, rocks and roots in the terrain and other hidden hazards. Keep
away from drop-offs.
18.Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on
hillside, over rough ground and when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful
when turning sharp corners.
19.Reduce speed on slopes and sharp turns to minimize tipping or loss of control. Be
careful when changing directions on slopes. Do not start or stop suddenly on slopes.
Avoid operation on steep slopes.
20.When using a unit, a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on
tractor front wheels. Without this weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal
injury or death. The weight may be attained with a front end loader, front wheel
weights, ballast in tires or front tractor weights. When attaining a minimum 20% of
tractor and equipment weight on the front wheels, you must not exceed the ROPS
weight certification. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not guess or estimate!
21.Inspect the entire machine periodically2. Look for loose fasteners, worn or broken
parts, and leaky or loose fittings.
22.Use only the driveline supplied with the mower. Do not use it if it is missing any
shield or safety protection.

GROOMING MOWERS
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
As mentioned above, all our grooming mowers may be either tractor front or rear
mounted. Changing our mowers from front mount to rear, or vice versa, can be easily
done at our authorized dealerships. This is accomplished by simply turning the three
point hitch and the gearbox 180 degrees (see fig. 6 & 7).
3.03 - Cutting Height Adjustment
WARNING: Keep hands and feet away from moving blades.
Be sure tractor engine is off, parking brake is locked, and key is removed before
making any adjustments.
Never rely on the tractor lift system. Install blocks or stands under the mower
deck to prevent it from falling.
Fig. 8
The cutting height is
adjusted by moving the
height adjustment spacers
on the wheel yokes above or
below the wheel arm.
The cutting height is the distance from the blades to the ground. The cutting height is
adjusted by moving the spacers on the wheel yokes. Placing spacers between the
wheel arm and the wheel yoke raises the cutting height by the size of the spacer.
Removing the spacers, lowers it by the same height (see fig. 8).
Be sure all wheel arms are adjusted equally. This is the only way to ensure a completely
uniform cut.
IMPORTANT: Very low cutting heights should be avoided. Damaging shock loads
occur when the blades strike the ground repeatedly. This can cause damage to
the mower.

GROOMING MOWERS
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
Before starting to mow, never forget that the operator is responsible for the following:
1. Safe and correct driving of the tractor and mower.
2. To learn precise safe operating procedures for both the tractor and the mower.
3. To ensure all maintenance and lubrication has been performed on the mower.
4. To have read and understood all safety aspects for the mower in the operator’s
manual.
5. To have read and understood all safety decals on the mower.
6. Checking the condition of the blades. Worn or damaged blades should be changed
before starting6.
7. Checking to ensure that the cutting edge is the leading edge of the blade7.
8. Checking that there is no wire, weed, grass or other material wrapped around
blades.
9. Checking to see if front weights need to be added to the tractor in order to maintain
balance.
10.Checking the tractor tires for the proper pressure in accordance with the tractor
operator’s manual.
11.Checking that the PTO shield, belt shields and all other shielding are on the
machine and securely in place.
12.Making sure the proper attire is worn. Avoiding loose fitting clothing which can
become entangled. Wearing sturdy, tough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hands, ears and head. Never operate tractor or implements in
bare feet, sandals or sneakers.
13.Checking area for stones, branches and other debris that might be thrown.
14.Ensuring proper lighting is available, sunlight or good artificial lighting.
3.07 - Working Speed
The mowing speed depends on ground conditions, tractor HP, mowing height, and
grass thickness. Only a test run will enable you to gauge the optimal working speed for
your conditions.
Under most conditions a 3 to 8 mph ground speed is best. As a rule of thumb, and if the
conditions permit, grass dispersion is increased by higher ground speeds.
In order to obtain the best cut possible, always keep the tractor rpm up to the speed
indicated on the mower. When increasing or decreasing mowing ground speed, always
use gear selection, not engine speed. This will maintain the constant maximum blade
speed necessary for a clean cut.
The mulching kit is an option available for the GM1 mowers. This kit, containing 3
multilevel cutting edge blades and add-on containment baffling which bolts to the
underside of the mower deck, mulches and pulverizes grass and leaves.
Another benefit of the mulching kit is safety. In fact, the kit greatly reduces the possibility
of thrown objects. This is particularly important when mowing around schools, public
parks and golf courses. If you are using a mulching kit, you need to reduce your
ground speed to under 2 mph (see fig. 9).

3.08 - Operating Techniques
All of the following factors are important in selecting the proper forward speed:
1. Height of grass.
2. Type of grass.
3. Density of grass.
4. Type of terrain.
5. Grass condition, wet or dry.
This mower has been designed to cut grass with heights from 4” to 8”. It is
recommended to avoid cutting grass taller than 10”. For the best results, try cutting the
grass at least once per week during growing season. Tall, dense grass should be cut at
low speed, while thin medium grass can be cut at a faster ground speed. For cleaner
cuts and efficient mowing, the blades must be kept sharp8.
Always operate PTO at 540 rpm. This is necessary to maintain proper blade speed and
obtain a clean cut.
Under certain conditions, tractor tires may roll some grass down and prevent it from
being cut at the same height as the surrounding area. If this occurs reduce the tractor
ground speed but maintain a 540 rpm engine speed. The lower ground speed will permit
the grass to at least partially rebound. Under some conditions grass will not rebound
enough to be cut evenly, resulting in an uneven appearance. In general, lower cutting

OPERATOR’S MANUAL
height gives a more even cut with less tendency to leave tire tracks. If cut is still not
satisfactory, cut the area twice.
Mow extremely tall grass twice. On the first pass use a high cutting height. On the
second pass position the mower at the desired height and, when practical, mow at a
right angle in travel to the first pass.
Plan your pattern to travel straight forward whenever possible.
It is better to cut grass more often, than too short. Short grass deteriorates rapidly in hot
weather and invites weed growth during growing season.
If at any time the mower should jam resulting in belt slippage of 2 or more seconds,
raise the mower and continue for 2-3 minutes. This will allow the pulleys to cool and
prolong belt life.
DANGER: The mower blades can throw objects hundreds of feet which could
result in personal or property damage.
Pick up all rocks and other debris before mowing.
Enter new areas carefully. Cut grass higher at first, allowing mower to clear
hidden objects.
CAUTION: For emergency reasons learn how to stop the tractor and mower
quickly. On the finishing mowers always disengage the PTO, lock parking brake,
stop engine and allow the mower blades to come to a complete stop before
dismounting the tractor.
3.09 - Uneven Terrain
DANGER: Be careful of rollover when operating tractor and mower over uneven
ground.
The following precautions should always be observed when working on uneven terrain:
1. In extremely uneven terrain rear wheel weights, front tractor weights, and/or tire
ballast should be used to improve stability.
2. Observe the type of terrain and develop a safe working pattern.
3. Whenever traction or stability is doubtful, first test drive over the terrain with the PTO
disengaged.
4. Operate the implement up and down steep slopes, not across slopes, to prevent the
tractor from tipping. Avoid sudden stops and starts, and slow down before changing
directions on a slope.
5. Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent hanging up the
tractor and implement.

6. Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping or loss of control.
7. Avoid tipping the mower while cutting.
8. Watch for holes, roots or other hidden objects. Do not use near the edge of a gully,
ditch or stream bank.
An anti-scalping roller is recommended for uneven ground contours. The roller
rides the nose of the mower over a mound to help keep the nose from bulldozing
or the blades from scalping the ground.
3.10 - Removing Mower from the Tractor
CAUTION: Disengage tractor PTO. Set parking brake. Stop engine and remove
key from ignition. Disconnect mower driveline from tractor PTO shaft. Collapse
driveline and store in appropriate place. Disconnect three point linkage and
carefully drive tractor away from mower.
3.11 - Transport
Before raising the mower for transport, the tractor top link must be adjusted so when
lifted, the rear of the machine is higher than the front (the mower’s nose is tilted
downward). To do this, shorten the tractor top link until the top hitch plate is locked
forward and no longer able to pivot. This will keep the mower locked in position and
minimize the shaking and bouncing during transport which can damage the hitch or
frame.
CAUTION: Make sure PTO is disengaged and blades have stopped turning before
raising mower to full transport position. Do not tow tractor and mower behind
other vehicles. Use a properly equipped trailer with heavy tie-downs for towing
operations.
Before transporting:
1. Always select a safe ground speed that is appropriate for the terrain.
2. Beware of traffic on public roads. Install a SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign when
traveling on roads or streets. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.
3. Reduce ground speed when turning and take care that the implement does not strike
obstacles such as trees, fences or buildings.
4. Always disengage PTO before raising the implement to transport position.
5. When raising the mower be sure the PTO driveline does not hit either the mower or
the tractor.
6. During transport the mower should not be lifted over 14” to 16” from the ground.

DANGER: Proper torque must be used when tightening the blade retaining bolt. If
these safety precautions are not followed, the blade could come off during
operation and be thrown hundreds of feet from the mower.
Sharpening Blades
Blade sharpening is extremely important in order to get the best cutting results. Sharp
blades permit a high quality cut and also reduce HP thus lowering cost.
To sharpen blades, first remove them following the above instructions.
Place the blade in a vise and sharpen them by using a hand file or grinder. Do not
sharpen the blades to a sharp cutting edge. The cutting edge should be between 1/64”
1
to /32” to prevent excessive pitting and dulling of the blades. Sharpen both ends of the
blade equally for balance and always maintain corners. Always keep all three blades
sharpened equally in order to maintain balance.

Belt tension adjustment
The mower has an automatic belt tensioner. The tension is created by a spring
connecting a tensioner pulley to a fixed hitch plate with 3 positions (see fig. 14). Upon
delivery, the spring is located in the first position. When the belt stretches after use,
adjust the tension by relocating the spring in the other two holes. If the belt has
stretched to the point that the belt is not tight enough even in the last hole, then it is
necessary to replace the belt.

If determined that the driveline is too long, follow these procedures to adjust the length:
1. Separate the two driveline halves. Connect one half to the tractor PTO and the other
half to the mower.
2. Raise and lower the mower with the 3 point hitch to find the position where the
driveline is shortest. Hold the half shafts side by side and mark the desired length on
the outer female tube guard leaving a 1½” gap between the end of the guard tube
and bell guard.
3. Cut off both guard tubes the same amount as marked in step 2.
4. Shorten both drive tubes the same amount as guard tubes.
5. De-burr and clean filings from drive tubes and apply grease to outside of inner
telescoping tube.
6. Reassemble the driveline halves and connect to tractor and mower. Raise and lower
mower again to be sure driveline does not bottom out in its shortest position and has
a minimum overlap of 6” in the longest position.
7. Install both driveline safety chains. One should be hooked in a hole on the outer
driveline yoke shield and to the tractor to restrict outer shield rotation. The second
one should be hooked in a hole on the inner driveline yoke shield and to the
implement to restrict inner shield rotation.
If determined that the driveline is too short for your tractor, contact your local dealer.
CAUTION: Always work with the driveline as straight as possible. This will
prolong its life and that of its components. It is advised, not to work at an angle
greater than 15 degrees.
