Mechanical lifting lever for cutting unit
The lever is used as a backup lever to put the cutting
unit in either the transport or mowing position when
hydraulic pressure is unavailable. It can also be used
to mechanically secure the cutting unit in the transport
position.
The lever must be used when starting the engine, if the
engine stopped with the unit in the mowing position,
in order to raise the unit so that the start lock circuit is
disengaged.
In the transport position, the blade brake is
automatically activated so that the blades stop
within about 5 seconds.
Transport position
Pull the lever backwards to the locked position
to engage the transport position.
The unit is raised and the blades stop rotating.
Mowing position
Depress the lock button and move the lever forwards
to engage the mowing position.
The unit is lowered and the blades begin to rotate.
