TRAINING

Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by an operator’s single careless act.

In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of equipment.

It has been said, “The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that kind of operator.

SAFETY RULES

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

 Safety instructions are important! Read all attachment and power unit manuals; follow all safety rules and safety decal information. (Replacement manuals and safety decals are available from your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com, or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-

6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules can result in serious injury or death.

 If you do not understand any part of this manual and need assistance, see your dealer.

 Know your controls and how to stop engine and attachment quickly in an emergency.

 Operators must be instructed in and be capable of the safe operation of the equipment, its attachments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper instructions.

 Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.

 Data indicates that those operators age 60 years and above are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-related injuries. Those operators should evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to protect themselves and others from injury.

PREPARATION

 Check that all hardware is properly installed. Always tighten to torque chart specifications unless instructed otherwise in this manual.

 Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operating condition.

MM DT/MX Mower Safety Rules (Rev. 3/10/2007)

 Make sure the driveline spring-activated locking collar slides freely and is seated firmly in power unit PTO groove. Make sure the set screws securely attach driveline to the attachment gearbox shaft.

 Remove accumulated debris from this equipment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.

 Make sure all safety decals are installed. Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for location.)

 Make sure shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.

 Be sure either the discharge chute, mulching end cap, or complete vacuum attachment is installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.

 Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or other hard objects that might be thrown, causing injury or damage.

OPERATION

 Keep bystanders away from equipment.

 Do not mow on wet grass.

 Do not operate power unit with attachment removed. Attachment is required for power unit stability.

 Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

ATTACHING MOWER TO POWER UNIT

NOTICE

■ The power unit must comply with counterweight

requirements before attaching to power unit.

NOTE: Stepping on the weight transfer arms with

your foot will make attaching chains easier.

9. Install flat washers and safety pins in right and left weight transfer brackets to secure chains into position.

10. Close power unit hydraulic pump dump valves.

11. After deck is attached to power unit, raise deck

high enough and rotate parking stand into the storage position.

NOTE: Attach rear pivot lift arm in hole position 1 on deck mounting brackets when front wheels are in hole 1 on front wheel yoke. This will put the deck in the high cut range, (2 to 5 inches - manual, 1-1/4 to 5-1/2 inches

- PowerTilt™). Attach weight transfer chains to weight transfer brackets using four links. Use PowerTilt™ in hole position 1 shown in Figure 1.

NOTE: Attach rear pivot lift arm in hole position 2 on deck mounting brackets when front wheels are in hole 2 on front wheel yoke. This will put the deck in the low cut range, (1 to 4 inches). Attach weight transfer chains to weight transfer brackets using five links.

1. Place power unit and mower on a level surface.

2. Rotate parking stand to the down position so deck

is resting on the parking stand wheel.

3. Center the power unit behind mower as close as possible. Shut off engine.

4. Open dump valves on both hydraulic pumps to allow power unit to be moved by hand. See Mow’n Machine power unit manual for location of dump valves.

NOTE: If you have a PowerTilt™ model, the wiring harness must be connected before raising or lowering the deck to align the arm with the mounting bracket. See Connect Wiring Harness - PowerTilt™ Units MXT Deck SN 1100885 and below, page 24 for instructions.

5. Use the height adjustment handle (or height adjustment switch on PowerTilt models) to raise or lower rear pivot lift arm and align arm with mounting brackets.

6. Attach rear pivot lift arm in desired power unit mounting bracket holes and connect with springloaded pins. See Figure 1 for hole locations.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

(Figure 2 & Figure 4)

1. Place power unit and mower on a level surface.

2. Make sure power unit tire pressure is set equally

on both sides. Improper pressure will adversely affect steering control, traction and mower cutting height.

Standard Front: 12 psi Drive Tire Rear: 18 psi Rear Caster Front: 45 psi Deck Caster

3. Cutting height is manually adjusted on the MX54 & MX61 models by moving the height adjustment

handle forward to lower the cutting height and rearward to raise the cutting height. For MX54T &

MX61T models, see PowerTilt™ Operation.

4. In the high cut range, the caster wheel assembly

should be bolted through the lower hole in the caster fork. Anti-scalp rollers should be installed in the lower mounting hole. Use this range for PowerTilt™ decks.

5. In the low cut range, the caster wheel assembly should be bolted through the upper hole in the

caster fork. Anti-scalp rollers should be installed in the upper mounting hole.

6. When the caster wheels are moved to a different hole in the fork, it will be necessary to move the rear pivot lift arm to the corresponding hole in the power unit mounting brackets. See Figure 1.

7. If cut height does not correspond to the respective position for the height adjustment handle on MX54/MX61, the ground rod should be adjusted. See Adjust Mower Deck (Figure 27 & Figure 29), page 26 and page 28. For MX54T/MX61T models, the cut height is aligned with the height decal.

PowerTilt™ Operation (Figure 3 & Figure 4)

Turn power unit key to the ON position.

To set cutting height:

1. Activate rocker switch following instruction decal

on top of rocker switch mount. Hold switch until deck is in the fully raised position.

2. Activate switch in the opposite direction to lower deck and to choose the desired cutting height.

Page 11

Figure 3. Deck Fully Raised

DP6T

MXT Decks SN

To tilt deck up:

Activate switch to lower deck and subsequently move deck into fully tilted position. The actuator will make a ratcheting noise at this position.

To untilt deck:

1. Actuate switch in the opposite direction until actua-

tor makes a ratcheting noise and the height gauge indicates 5".

2. Activate switch following instruction decal to lower deck to desired cutting height.

NOTE: Excessive operation of actuator with engine off will drain battery.

NOTE: The micro switch underneath the height gauge prevents the engine from running with the deck in the raised position. The power unit will not move unless the deck is down and the switch lever is depressed. To check that the switch is working properly when the deck is raised, tilt the deck up halfway and move a traction lever out of neutral while sitting in the operator’s seat. This should shut the engine off.

MOWER SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT

(Figure 2 & Figure 4)

Measure a similar spot to the ground on each rear corner of the mower deck. If there is more than an 1/8" difference between sides, adjust lift rods until sides are within 1/8".

MOWING TIPS

WARNING

 Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all moving parts.

 Keep bystanders away from equipment.

 Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on

slopes and rough terrain.

 Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during operation.

NOTICE

■ Always operate power unit engine at full throttle

when mowing to maintain proper blade speed and produce a clean cut.

1. Before mowing, analyze the area to determine the

best mowing procedure. Consider the height, type of grass, and the terrain type (rolling, level or rough).

2. It is better to mow grass more often rather than too short. Short grass deteriorates rapidly in hot weather and invites weed growth during growing seasons. Follow local recommendations for the suitable cutting height in your area.

3. Proper ground speed for mowing will depend on the height, type and density of grass to be cut. Normally, ground speed will range from two to five m.p.h. Tall dense grass should be mowed at low ground speeds, while thin medium-height grass can be cut at a faster ground speed.

4. Extremely tall grass should be cut twice. Cut grass higher on first pass. Cut the second time at desired height and 90° to first pass.

5. When mowing long grass, stop power unit, turn ignition key off, remove key, and disengage PTO. Check for grass wrap around PTO shaft every 30 minutes of operation.

6. Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and use less power.

7. For side-discharge mowers, mow with uncut grass to the left. This will distribute the clippings over the cut area. Discharging clippings over the uncut area would cause a build-up and could prevent uniform cutting.

8. All side-discharge mowers are shipped with highsuction blades. These blades will give you satisfactory performance in most conditions. If, however, you are operating in sandy areas, you should change to the optional medium-suction blades.

9. In some conditions the high-suction blades may cause a small windrow when used in conjunction

with the optional vacuum attachments; should this occur, install medium-suction blades.

10. When transporting the Mow'n Machine on a trailer, always lower attachment height adjustment lift mechanism to lowest setting to reduce lift loads, which could damage the height adjustment sector.

STORAGE

 Do not operate power unit with attachment removed. Attachment is required for power unit stability.

The parking stand can be used to support the rear of the mower deck when not attached to the power unit.

1. Raise the mower deck sufficiently to provide the necessary clearance for rotating the parking stand into position.

2. Carefully remove the weight transfer chains from the rear pivot lift arm.

3. Disconnect driveline and mower attachment arm from power unit.

4. Back power unit away from deck.

Figure 5. Parking Stand

If deck is to be stored for a long period of time, 4-inch wooden blocks can be used instead of the parking stand. See Figure 6.

BELT SERVICE

CAUTION

 Use care when installing or removing belt from spring-loaded idler. Springs store energy when extended and, if released suddenly, can cause personal injury.

Belt Adjustment (Figure 10)

NOTE: The belt tension is set at the factory, but may need adjustment after the first hour of initial use. Periodically, the belt should be checked for proper tension following the procedure below.

1. Loosen lock nut.

2. Tighten draw nut until spring has stretched approx-

imately 8.8" as shown in Figure 10. Tighten lock nut.

Belt Replacement

NOTE: Major causes of belt failure are improper instal-

lation and tension. Before installing a new belt, check spindle shafts and bearings for excessive end play and wear by moving side to side and up and down. Be sure shafts and bearings turn smoothly and freely.

Make sure idler pulleys are still aligned with spindle pulleys.

Check pulley grooves for cleanliness and wear. If grooves require cleaning, use a cloth moistened with a non-flammable, non-toxic, degreasing agent or commercial detergent and water.

Figure 10. Belt Adjustment

When installing belts, follow the belt routing shown in Figure 11.

Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use tools to pry belt on or roll belt over pulleys. This can cause hidden damage and premature belt failure.
