Installing and Using the Rocky Area Mowing Attachment

Tools & Supplies Needed:

• 15/16" wrench or socket

• air wrench if available

WARNING! Before attaching the Rocky Area Mowing Attachment, or

performing any maintenance procedures, the engine should be stopped
and the spark plug wire disconnected.

To Install the Rocky Area Mowing Attachment

1. Remove the blade.

a. Block the blade with a piece of wood between the blade and the

skid on the chute side of the deck.

b. Remove the blade nut (right-hand, regular thread) and washer.

Note: You may need a length of pipe to fit over the wrench for
more leverage when removing the blade nut.

c. Remove the blade.

2. Mount the Rocky Area Mowing Attachment with the blade washer and

blade lock nut, and tighten (Figure 1).

3. Install cords as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 1

Using the Rocky Area Mowing Attachment

· As with any string trimmer, the tips of the cutting

cords can throw sticks, small stones, gravel and bits
of debris over great distances at great velocity. Do
not travel over loose materials such as gravel or
mulch while the cords are spinning. Doing so could
cause personal injury or property damage from
thrown objects.

· Be cautious around fencing, wire, ropes and hoses.

These and other debris can become wound around
the shaft causing damage to the machine or injuring
the operator.

· Cords will not cut woody vegetation, and will not

cut as cleanly as your mower's steel blade. For the
best cut, we recommend mowing in first or second
gear and overlapping rows as you mow.

· Cut cord in 21" lengths. If you're using an 8.0 HP

model, cut cords in 19" lengths.

· If cords are hitting the deck and fraying, cut a little off the ends to prevent interference.
