FLOATING AND FRONT TO BACK HITCH ADJUSTMENTS  
The 3-point hitch system on this mower has been de-  
signed for front to back flotation when mowing on un-  
even terrain. The lower 3-point hitch blocks also are  
adjustable from front to back for additional field float and  
tractor clearance. The lower hitch blocks have a large  
pivot pin and a smaller locking pin, page 14 (#4) & (#5).  
When operating a mower equipped with four gauge  
wheels do not use lock pin (#4) unless desired for trans-  
port.  
The mower can be operated with hitch blocks in either  
position. Depending upon the use of front gauge  
wheels, the lower hitch blocks can be used without the  
locking pin. If mower is not equipped with front gauge  
wheels and leveling chains are used, the locking pin  
should be installed. The lower hitch blocks and top link  
rear braces can be adjusted front to back as shown in  
fig. 1.

MOWING INSTRUCTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS  
1. Clear the area to be mowed of objects and debris  
that might be picked up and thrown by the mower  
blades.  
5. cutting height and mow the area, then lower cutting  
height and mow a second time at the desired height.  
6. This mower is equipped with an adjustable grass dis-  
charge chute. Adjustments can be made by loosening  
the bolts on the front and rear of mower chute. With the  
mower chute in the raised operating position, grass is  
expelled away from the mower for a more even distribu-  
tion of grass clippings. Lowering the mower chute will  
decrease the distance the grass is discharged from the  
mower.  
2. Grass is best cut when it is dry. Mowing wet grass  
can cause plugging resulting in grass clumps behind the  
mower.  
3. Grass should be mowed frequently as shorter clip-  
pings deteriorate faster.  
4. If mowing extremely tall grass, it is best to raise
