OPERATION
FX17/FX21 02/11 Operation Section 4-25
© 2011 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION
The mowers’s center of gravity is raised making the
mower more prone to tipping when the wings are in
the raised position. Use extreme caution when
towing the mower in the transport position and
avoid uneven terrain which could upset the mower.
Operating Position
To lower the mower, retract the hydraulic cylinders
to remove tension from the transport locks. Then
pull the release rope and place the hydraulic control
lever in the float detent to lower the mower.
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.
(STI-02)
Use extreme care when lowering or unfolding the implement’s wings. Make sure no
bystanders are close by or underneath the wings. Allow ample clearance around the
implement when folding or unfolding the wings. Use extreme caution around buildings or
overhead power lines.
