PERSONAL SAFETY IS INVOLVED! BECOME ALERT! OBEY THE MESSAGE! Take all possible precautions when leaving the mower unattended, including shifting into neutral, setting the parking brake, stopping the engine and removing the ignition key. Watch for dangerous traffic when crossing or near roadways. Never direct the discharge of material from operating reels toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the mower. The mower and reels should be stopped and inspected for damage after striking a foreign object. The damage should be repaired before restarting and operating the mower. Proceed as follows when mowing: Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light. Never make a cutting height adjustment while the engine is running. Shut the engine off when removing grass or unclogging reels. This machine is to be used only as a grass cutter or lawn mower. Never operate the mower while using drugs, medications, or alcohol. Safe operation requires complete and unimpaired attention. Never allow anyone to operate the mower when their alertness or coordination is impaired. Do not wear loose clothing or loose shoelaces, which may become entangled in mower controls or drive components.
DANGER means "IMMINENTLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION! If not avoided, WILL RESULT in death or serious injury."
means "POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION! If not avoided, COULD RESULT in death or injury."

WARNING

CAUTION means "POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION! If not avoided, MAY RESULT in minor or moderate injury." It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
The safety alert triangle symbols on your mower point out important safety precautions.
NATIONAL MOWER SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES
1. TRAINING Know the control functions and how to stop quickly. READ THE OWNERS MANUAL. 2. PREPARATION Clear the work place of objects which might be picked up by the blades and thrown. Handle fuel with CAUTION - it is highly flammable. Use an approved fuel container. Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel to a running or hot engine. Never fill the fuel tank indoors. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately. Open garage doors to allow ventilation if engine is run inside exhaust fumes are dangerous. Do not run engine in any enclosed area. Keep the mower in safe operating condition. Make sure that all safety switches are operating properly and all 4
Do not mow in reverse, unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and during reverse motion. Shut off and raise the cutting units before operating the mower at transport speed. (Model 68 DL only.) Do not reverse battery connections. Damage to the mower can result. Battery gases are explosive and can cause death or injury. Keep open flames, sparks, and smoking materials away from batteries. Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Contact with skin, eyes, or clothing can cause chemical burns. Wash immediately and seek medical assistance. Wear protective clothing and safety glasses when handling a battery. (Model 68 DL only.) 4. HILL OPERATION Do not stop or start suddenly when going uphill or downhill. Mow up and down the face of steep slopes never across steep slopes. Do not exceed a slope of 15o in any direction. Reduce travel speed on slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tipping or loss of control. Use extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Watch for holes in the terrain and other hidden hazards. Do not shift into neutral and coast downhill. Use extreme care when mowing near dropoffs or embankments. The mower could roll over if a wheel goes over the edge, or if an edge caves in. If mower stops going uphill, disengage power to the cutting units and slowly back down. 5. MAINTENANCE Never store the mower, with fuel in the tank, inside a building where fumes could reach an open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. Keep the engine free of grass, leaves or excessive grease to reduce a fire hazard. Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Keep non-skid surfaces clean. Replace the non-skid material if worn, damaged, or missing. Wear appropriate safety gear, including safety glasses and gloves, while servicing the mower.

RECEIPT OF SHIPMENT

Carefully inspect your machine and crate for damage that could have occurred during shipment. If damages or shortages are noted, have the transportation companys representative note this on the bill of lading. Note: Claims for shipping damages must be noted by the consignee at the point of destination and filed with the transportation company that delivers the shipment.

UNCRATING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION
Wear protective gloves. Steel banding is sharp. Handle cutting units carefully. Reels rotate freely and are very sharp. 3. Unbolt Seat (3) from crate bracing and lay seat aside for installation later. 4. Lift Rear Cutting Unit (4) off the crate supporting members and set aside for later attachment. 5. Make sure Wing Cutting Units (5) are in their upright positions, secured to the mower frame with Wing Cutting Unit Latches. 6. Knock down all sides of crate and remove. Roll mower backwards off of crate base.
In order to prevent possible damage to the machine or personal injury, the following uncrating procedure must be followed: 1. Position Crate (1) on a hard, level surface. 2 Cut and remove all Steel Banding (2). Remove the entire top of the crate.

CAUTION CAUTION

ASSEMBLY
Improper assembly or adjustments can cause serious injury.
SEAT 1. Mount the Rear Cutting Unit Lifter and Seat Assembly (A) to the mower frame using (2) 1/2" bolts, nuts, and washers (B). 2. Fasten the seat slides (C) to the bottom of the seat (D) using the fasteners provided with the slider mechanisms. Orient the slider so the adjuster lever (E) is on the operator's left hand side. 3. Remove the seat switch bracket (F, 1" x 10" bar)) mounted near the ends of the legs of the seat hinge. Discard the fasteners. Mount the seat and slider assembly onto the seat hinge (G). Replace the seat switch bracket and tighten fasteners. Plug the wire harness socket (H) into the seat safety switch (J). Use care in routing the wires so that they are not pinched by the switch lever or seat support mechanisms.

DO NOT OPERATE THE SEAT SLIDE MECHANISM WHILE THE MOWER IS MOVING
The seat may be moved forward or backward to suit the operator. Pull the lever near the front left corner of the seat outward to release the slide mechanism. After moving the seat to a comfortable position, release the lever to lock the slide mechanism.
K. Ignition Switch (Model 68 DL shown)
ALWAYS SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND REMOVE THE KEY BEFORE LEAVING THE MOWER SEAT. The 68 DL ignition switch is located on the instrument cluster. It is a threeposition switch.
M. Parking Brake Lever Provides a lock for the brake. Push brake lever forward, over center, to lock. Pulling brake lever back, toward the rear of the machine will disengage the brake.
N. Service Brake Depress the Service Brake foot pedal to slow the mower and lock the rear wheels in the full stop position. Note: It is best to slow the mower with the throttle and then disengage clutch lever before applying brake. This prevents excessive wear and engine overload.
Turn the key clockwise to the middle position to activate the electrical system. Turn the key to the full clockwise position to start the engine. Turn the switch counterclockwise to shut off the engine. The 68 SR ignition switch (not shown) is located on the steering column. It is a two-position switch. Turn the key clockwise to activate the electrical system and allow the engine to be started. Turn the switch counterclockwise to shut off the engine.

SAFETY SWITCHES

Your National 68 mower is equipped with safety switches to monitor the operating conditions of certain machine functions and stop the mower whenever unsafe conditions are found. It is necessary for both the main engine clutch and the wing cutting unit clutch to be in their neutral position to start the engine. The 68 DL also requires the operator be in the seat. The 68 SR does not require the operator to be in the seat to facilitate use of the hand recoil starter. If you encounter difficulties starting the mowers engine, or keeping it running, check the chart in the Safety Switches section of this manual to make sure you are not causing the engine to kill or become unable to start.

To assure safety, disengage the engine clutch lever, remove the ignition key, and disconnect the engine spark plug wire prior to making any of the following adjustments. Do not adjust one side more than the other unless the reel is obviously out of alignment. Do not get the reel so tight that it is hard to turn by hand. A too tight reel will wear faster. Ideally, the reel should wipe or lightly touch the bed knife. It is not necessary to adjust or change the position of the lower adjustment nut. Proper cutting action may be tested by holding paper strips between the reel and the bed knife. Turn the reel by hand and check to see if the assembly cuts the paper all the way across the width of the bed knife. Make sure that the adjusting and the locking nuts on both side are tightened securely. REEL END PLAY ADJUSTMENT Test for end play periodically by trying to move the reel from side to side in the frame. If there is ANY movement, adjust the bearings by loosening the lock nut on the adjustment bolt (B) which is located on the inside right end of the reels, and turning the adjustment bolt IN one half turn or less. Do not overtighten. An overtightened bearing will cause excessive bearing wear. Test again for end play and if reel is rotating freely and end play is not noticeable, tighten the lock nut. HEIGHT OF CUT ADJUSTMENT Refer to "Height of Cut Adjustment" in the Operation section of this manual. BRAKE ADJUSTMENT The foot brake is properly adjusted if it slows the machine when depressed and can be locked when the pedal is depressed fully. Adjust brake tension by removing cotter pin and brake pedal pin and turning brake clevis located under pedal on brake rod. When adjustment is complete, attach clevis to pedal with pin and cotter pin.

Handle reel assemblies carefully with protective gloves. Reels are very sharp. Reels rotate freely and rotating one reel can cause other reels to rotate. Special care should be taken in the area where the reel contacts the bed knife.
REEL TO BED KNIFE ADJUSTMENT The reel is adjusted to a fixed position bed knife. This construction allows a more rugged and durable frame and retains the proper adjustment longer. The Reel Adjuster Bolt (A) regulates reel distance from the bed knife. To reduce the distance, turn the upper hex adjuster nut on each side of the reel down. Proceed slowly and do not over-adjust -- use about 1/8 of a turn on each side at first.
REEL ADJUSTMENTS NOTE: Guards removed or cut away to show detail 22
ADJUSTING DRIVE BELT TENSION A belt adjusted for proper tension can be deflected slightly at a point midway between the pulleys. An over-tight belt will cause excessive bearing wear and an under-tight belt allows slipping, causing excessive belt wear. IMPORTANT: Never allow oil to get on the belt which could cause slipping.
WING CUTTING UNIT DRIVE BELT TENSION Adjust tension by loosening set screw (B) in the wing mower pull arm, sliding the Cutting Unit rearward and retightening set screw.
MAIN DRIVE BELT TENSION (Main Countershaft to Rear Drive) Belt tension is increased by loosening the four bolts holding the Upper Countershaft Housing (A) and sliding the housing forward in the slotted frame holes. NOTE - It will be necessary to remove belt guards to reach the adjustment bolts. Also, if this belt is adjusted, it will be necessary to readjust the engine belt. Replace all belt guards before using the mower.

FRONT OF MACHINE

ENGINE DRIVE BELT TENSION (Engine to Main Countershaft) (No photo) Belt tension is increased by loosening the four engine mounting bolts and sliding the engine forward in the slotted frame holes. Test for the proper tension as detailed in the section "Wing Cutting Unit Drive Belt Tension". When tension is correct, tighten all the bolts securely.
REAR CUTTING UNIT DRIVE BELT TENSION Spacers (A) are provided on the rear mower Pull Rod (B) to adjust the belt tension. Remove Pin (C) from the end of the pull rod and slip out the pull rod from the Pivot Tube (D). Move as many spacers as necessary to the location indicated and reassemble.

Never attempt to remove or circumvent the safety switches. Dangerous operating conditions may result.
If you encounter difficulties starting the mowers engine, or keeping it running, check the chart below to make sure you are not causing the engine to kill or become unable to start. With the engine off, and the ignition key removed, check the switches regularly to make sure they are unobstructed by grass clippings or other material. Make sure the electrical terminals remain clean and dry and the pivot mechanisms for each switch operate freely. Never spray the mower safety switches directly with highpressure water.
Your National 68 mower is equipped with safety switches to monitor the operating conditions of certain machine functions and stop the mower whenever unsafe conditions are found. It is necessary for both the main engine clutch and the wing cutting unit clutch to be in their neutral position to start the engine. The 68 DL also requires the operator be in the seat. The 68 SR does not require the operator to be in the seat to facilitate use of the hand recoil starter.

National Mower Safe Operation Practices For Riding Mowers
1. Know control functions and how to stop quickly. READ THE OWNERS MANUAL. 2. Wear approved safety glasses or goggles when operating the mower. 3. Do not allow children to operate mower. Do not allow adults to operate mower without proper 4. Do not carry passengers. Keep children and pets at a safe distance from an operating mower. 5. Clear the work place of objects which might be picked up by the blades and thrown. 6. Disengage all reel clutches and shift into neutral before attempting to start the engine (motor). Disengage main clutch before shifting reel clutches. 7. Disengage power to the reels and stop the engine (motor) before leaving the operators position. 8. Disengage power to the reels and stop the engine (motor) before making any repairs or adjustments. 9. Disengage power to the reels when transporting or not in use. 10. Take all possible precautions when leaving the mower unattended, such as, shifting into neutral, setting the parking brake, stopping the engine and removing the ignition key. 11. Do not stop or start suddenly when going uphill or downhill. Mow up and down the face of steep slopes never across steep slopes. Do not exceed a slope of 25o in any direction. 12. Reduce travel speed on slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tipping or loss of control. Use extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. 13. Watch for holes in the terrain and other hidden hazards. 14. Watch for dangerous traffic when crossing or near roadways. 15. Never direct the discharge of material from operating reels toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the mower. 16. Handle gasoline (petro)l with CAUTION - it is highly flammable. a. b. c. Use an approved gasoline (petrol) container. Never remove the fuel tank cap or add gasoline (petrol) to a running or hot engine. Never fill the fuel tank indoors. Wipe spilled gasoline (petrol) immediately. Open garage doors to allow ventilation if engine is run inside exhaust fumes are dangerous. Do not run engine in any enclosed area. instruction.
17. Keep the mower in good operating condition. Make sure that all safety switches are operating properly and all safety guards are in place at all times, except during servicing. 18. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure that the mower is in a safe working condition. 19. Never store the mower, with gasoline (petrol) in the tank, inside a building where fumes could reach an open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. 20. Keep the engine free of grass, leaves or excessive grease to reduce a fire hazard. 21. The mower and reels should be stopped and inspected for damage after striking a foreign object. The damage should be repaired before restarting and operating the mower. 22. Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. 23. Proceed as follows when mowing: a. b. c. Mow only in the daylight or in good artificial light. Never make a cutting height adjustment while the engine (motor) is running. Shut the engine (motor) off when removing grass or unclogging reels.

Carefully inspect your machine and crate for damage that could have occured during shipment. If damages or shortages are noted, have the transportation companys representative note this on the bill of lading.
Claims for shipping damages must be noted by the consignee at the point of destination and filed with the transportation company that delivers the shipment.

UNCRATING INSTRUCTIONS

In order to prevent possible damage to the machine or personal injury, the following uncrating procedure must be followed: 1. Position Crate 1 as shown in Figure A, on a hard, level surface. 2 Cut and remove all Steel Banding (2, Fig. A). 3. Remove the entire top of the crate. Unbolt Seat (3, Fig. A) from crate bracing and lay seat aside for installation later. Save the bolt and washer to use for mounting the seat mounting member. 4. Lift Rear Mower (4, Fig. A) off the crate supporting members and set aside for later attachment. Handle mowers carefully with protective gloves. Reels rotate freely and are very sharp. 5. Make sure Wing Mowers (5, Fig. A) are secure to the mower frame with Wing Mower Hooks (15, Fig. B). 6. Knock down all sides of crate and remove. Roll mower backwards off of crate base.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
REAR MOWER 1. Remove two 1/2" x 1-1/2" Hex Head Bolts (1, Fig. B) and nuts from the shipping position in the Seat Hinge assembly (2, Fig. B). Position Seat Hinge Assembly with pivot facing rearward, over the seat mount of the mower frame and fasten with Bolts (1, Fig. B) and lock nuts. 2. Pivot Seat Brace (3, Fig. B) from the axle so that the top end aligns with the tab at the back of the seat hinge assembly. Fasten with a 5/16" x 1" Hex Head Bolt, Lock Washer and Hex Nut. 3. Remove the Lifter Tee (4, Fig. B) from the shipping position in the Pivot Tube (5, Fig. B) and set aside cotter pin and washer for later use. Insert the rod end of lifter tee through the slotted hole in the pad on the rear mower frame and secure with the cotter pin and washer as shown. 4. Fasten Rear Mower Pull Rod (6, Fig. B) inner leg by removing Bolts (7, Fig. B) and reinserting it through pull rod and attaching flanges on tractor axle. Note that Spacers (8, Fig. B) must be in each pivot point to allow free movement of the pull rod. 5. Attach Pull Rod (6, Fig. B) to Pivot Tube (9, Fig. B) with Pin (3, Fig. K on page 17) and Spacers (1, Fig. K). NOTE: Before completing assembly, it will be necessary to refer to the rear Mower Drive Belt Tension section and Figure K, page 17 for adjusting belt tension. 6. Install Rear Mower Belt (10, Fig. B) from Countershaft Pulley (11, Fig. B) to outer Drive Pulley (12, Fig. B). Idler Pulley (13, Fig. B) must ride on top of lower belt to provide proper tension. NOTE: It will be necessary to raise rear mower to allow enough slack to get belt over pulleys. WING MOWERS 1. Remove Wing Mower Belts (17, Fig. B) from the steering column. 2. Unlock Hooks (18, Fig. B) from Wing Mower Assemblies (19, Fig. B), lower them carefully to the ground. Slip wing mower belts over Countershaft Pulleys (20, Fig. B). 3. Block mower wheels to prevent mower from moving forward. Pull Wing Mower Assemblies (19, Fig. B) forward so that they slide on Pull Rods (21, Fig. B) and compress springs. This will allow enough slack to enable belts to be installed over Reel Pulleys (22, Fig. B).

MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATION Figure D shows the top view of the 68" Triplex Mower with guards removed. Lubricate the machine at the recommended locations and intervals using the proper lubicants to ensure maximum service and long life of your machine. Refer to the engine manual (separately furnished) for proper lubrication and maintenance instructions. Since the mower does not operate at high speeds, the grease level in the differential is not critical providing that there is sufficient grease to coat the gears. Unless leakage is evident, it is recommended that the grease be checked once each year. Check grease level by loosening the bolts in the differential case flanges and spreading case halves. It is not necessary to totally disassemble the case or remove the wheels for this inspection. Add Multi-purpose Gear Grease such as Pennzoil No. 303 or equivalent if necessary. Total grease capacity is 1-1/2 pounds.
Do not use oil in the differential case in place of greaseit will leak through the seals.

IMPORTANT Figure E shows the top view of the left wing mower with guards removed and shows the proper lubrication locations. These areas on both wing mowers must be free of dirt and grass clippings and be well lubricated for proper drive belt tension and operation. Support collars for the wing mower pull rods must be kept in alignment to maintain belt tension.

BED KNIFE REPLACEMENT
When the bed knife becomes damaged or too worn to keep sharp, it must be replaced. Design improvements have made bed knife replacement easier with bolt-on construction. Follow the procedure below. 1. The backbar (1, Fig. F), bed knife (2, Fig. F) and fasteners have been assembled at the factory under tension. To ease replacement and prevent misalignment of components, the leading edge of the backbar must be tack welded two or three places before the old fasteners are removed. 2. Remove shoulder nuts (3, Fig. F) and flat head screws (4, Fig. F). If shoulder nuts are badly rusted or
corroded, they may have to be cut off and screws driven out to be removed. 3. Clean the bottom surface of the backbar for maximum metal contact with the new bed bar. 4. Fasten the new bed knife to the bottom of the backbar in the position shown (bent edge up). Shoulder of shoulder nuts must be seated firmly in the backbar and screws must be flush with the bottom of the bed knife. 5. Torque shoulder nuts 35 to 40 ft/lbs.

LAPPING PROCEDURE
INTRODUCTION Back lapping is a very important step in maintaining sharp reel blades on the rear and wing mowers. This procedure should be performed when the reel blades and the bed knife become slightly rounded and the grass is not cut cleanly with only a slight bed knife adjustment. Also, after grinding the bed knife and reels, you should back lap to establish a perfect match between the bed knife and reel blades. RECOMMENDED STEPS 1. Adjust the bed knife to the reel so that the bed knife is level with the reel and light contact is maintained. 2. Reels must be run in a reverse direction to be lapped. Remove the lower drive belts and attach a back lapping machine (not supplied by National Mower) to the reels. Follow the instructions furnished by the machine manufacture. 3. Apply the lapping compound with the reels running, using a 2" or a 3" brush. Apply the compound evenly to the moving blades. Many types of compounds are available for lapping. However, we recommend a good pre-mixed water soluble compound. Many different grit ranges are available. Premixed compound saves the time required to mix, eliminates the waste of abrasive, rinses off easily with water and is available in all grit ranges from course to extra fine. 4. Stop the reel and examine both bed knife and reel blades to see that the cutting edges are uniformly sharp. If not, gradually tighten the reel adjuster bolts (see Figure I, Page 16) and repeat Step 3 untill the proper sharpness results. 5. Rinse off the compound thoroughly with water to remove all abrasive. Check for sharpness and readjust the bed knife if necessary. Reel to bed knife contact should be adjusted to easily cut a sheet of paper (see Adjustments, Page 16 for detailed instructions).
Be extremely careful not to let the brush, your fingers or your clothing get caught in the reels. Use approved safety glasses to protect your eyes from flying particles and abrasives.
BACK GRIND IN THE DIRECTION OF THE ARROW AT 25O

GRINDING

Reels must be ground at 25 in the direction shown below by the arrow in Figure G. Back grind until reel blades are free from roundness, dents and nicks. Spin grind to remove all burrs. All blades must be on the same diameter. For maximum cutting efficiency, grind bed knife top and front edges at 5 as shown in Figure H.

FIGURE I

BRAKE ADJUSTMENT The foot brake is properly adjusted if it slows the machine when depressed and can be locked when the pedal is depressed fully. Adjust brake tension by removing cotter pin and brake pedal pin and turning brake clevis located under pedal on brake rod. When adjustment is complete, attach clevis to pedal with pin and cotter pin.
NOTE Guards removed to show detail
WING MOWER DRIVE BELT TENSION Proper Belt tension allows mowers to be driven without slippage but loose enough to be deflected slightly at a point midway between the pulleys. An overtight belt will cause excessive bearing wear and a slipping belt causes excessive belt wear. IMPORTANT: Never allow oil to get on the belt which could cause slipping. Adjust tension by loosening set screw (Fig. E) in the wing mower pull arm, sliding the mower rearward and retightening set screw.

FRONT OF MACHINE

REAR MOWER DRIVE BELT TENSION Follow the recommendations above for determining proper tension and refer to Figure J. Spacers (1, Fig. J) are provided on the rear mower Pull Rod (2, Fig. J) to adjust the belt tension. Remove Pin (3, Fig. J) from the end of the pull rod and slip out the pull rod from the Pivot Tube (4, Fig. J). Move as many spacers as necessary to the location indicated and reassemble.

FIGURE J

for the wing mower adjustment. When tension is correct, tighten all the bolts securely.
MAIN DRIVE BELT (Main Countershaft to Rear Drive) Belt tension is increased by loosening the four bolts holding the Main Countershaft Housing (45, Fig. 3) and sliding the housing forward in the slotted frame holes. NOTE - It will probably be necessary to loosen or remove belt guards to reach the adjustment bolts. Also, if this belt is adjusted, it will probably be necessary to readjust the engine belt.
ENGINE DRIVE BELT (Engine to Main Countershaft) Belt tension is increased by loosening the four engine mounting bolts and sliding the engine forward in the slotted frame holes. Test for the proper tension as detailed
