OPERATION
Lowering into Operating Position
Ensure that ON/OFF switch(es) is (are) in "OFF"
position. With tractor engine running, pull LIFT
control lever rearward until bracket on cutter unit
clears support bar on lift cylinder support. Push
TILT control lever forward until cutter unit is level
with ground. Push LIFT lever forward enough to
slowly lower unit until it touches ground, then push
both levers forward to "FLOAT" position.
NOTE: For best mowing results and longer roller
life, both LIFT and TILT levers should be in
"FLOAT" position while mowing.
It takes some effort to pull TILT lever from "FLOAT"
position because of detent spring.
The mower must be operated with the cutter
sections fully lowered and the hydraulic control
lever in the float detent to ensure the mower
follows the contour of the ground and to prevent
sections from creeping up. NEVER attempt to
raise the mower while the mower is operating.
When the Wings are folded for transport, the center of gravity is raised and the possibility of
overturn is increased. Drive slowly and use extreme caution when turning on hillsides.
Overturning the Implement could cause the Implement to overturn the Tractor and vice
versa resulting in serious injury or even death. Never fold wings on a hillside...the
Implement or unit may overturn.

The mower head will start running when lowered if the mower ON/OFF switch is in the ON
position. Make sure the SWITCH is in the OFF positon before lowering mower wing(s).
