OPERATION
9.2 Brake and Differential Lock Setting
Make sure the tractor brakes are in good
operating condition. Tractor brakes can be set to
operate independently allowing single rear wheel
braking action or locked together to provide
simultaneous rear wheel braking. FOR MOST
DRIVING AND OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE
BRAKE PEDALS SHOULD BE LOCKED
TOGETHER TO PROVIDE THE MOST
EFFECTIVE BRAKING ACTION.
Always disengage the tractor differential lock
when turning. When engaged the differential lock
will prevent or limit the tractor from turning. During
normal cutting conditions, locking the differential
provides no benefit and should not be used.
OPS-U- 0013
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes.
When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance increases; use
extreme care and reduce your speed in these conditions. When operating in traffic, always
use the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around
you and watch out for the other guy.
9.3 Transport Position
With the armhead in the working position at right
angles to the main frame, the flail can be raised
and folded to close proximity of the tractor wheel.
Where it is desirable to fold the machine to within
tractor’s overall width, it is necessary to lock the
armhead back in the breakaway position by
engagement of the breakaway lock pin.
This is best done by releasing the lock pin, placing
the flailhead on the ground and driving forward
while at the same time operating the “main arm
down” lever.
The released lock pin will drop in and locate itself
behind the breakaway bar when maximum
position is reached. The flail head should then be
angled inboard to a vertical position. OPS-B- 0053
