We have an HM235, bought it new, ran it 4 seasons now. I went through the same thing you are going to go through, new mower, and had never run it!
It has been a great mower...cuts everything we want, including mature timothy/clover over top of the rear tires...no major issues. They are the "econo" mower, but we only have a small farm, I cut 90 acres a year so it was expensive enough, was less than comparable Kuhn.
Main thing is keep your stay chain set and 3pt level when the mower is on working position. Angle top link to allow knives to be level or slightly down. Height chain must allow show to ride barely on the ground or too much weight goes on the bar on rough terrain and it kicks back
Run the remote in neutral, book says float for HM234 and HM235, but that allows too much weight to go on the end of the bar and you will hate it kicking back when it hits a rough spot. I manually raise and lower the bar as needed
Keep PTO rpm at 540 and all times, I can mow 5.2 MPH, doesn't strain 42 PTO HP tractor at all. Only lift bar with remote, and only on left turns, you can leave it down on right hand turns.
