LOWERING THE REELS
Before ‘lowering ‘ the Reels, position the Mower on
level ground. If on a slope face the mower ‘up hill’,
this allows the reels to lower evenly on both sides, and
prevents damage to the Reel Drives.
Check that the transport Safety Chains are un-hooked
from the Reels and are in their ‘stowed’ position.
IMPORTANT
To prevent damage to the Reels do not lower them with
the Safety Chains in their transport positions.
Do not set the tractor engine RPM too high.
Shift the Tractor Hydraulic Control Valve Lever to the
‘DOWN’ position.
Return the Control Valve Lever to ‘NEUTRAL’ when all
Reels are fully down.
CAUTION
Check all chains regularly for damage, and that all
Shackles are securely wired.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in an
accident and personal injury

LIFTING THE REELS
Shift the Tractor Hydraulic Control Valve Lever to the
‘UP’ position.
Return the Control Valve Lever to ‘NEUTRAL’ when
the Reels are fully raised.
Re-attach the Safety Chains.
TRANSPORT SAFETY CHAINS
When transporting or storing the Mower, the Transport
Safety Chains must be attached from the Main Lift
Arms to the opposite side Wing Reels.
CAUTION
Do not engage the PTO with the Reels in the raised
(transport) position.
The PTO must be disengaged and the Reels
stationary before the Reels are raised.
