OPERATION
INCORRECT: DO NOT approach ditch straight on.
FIGURE 11
CORRECT: Approach ditch at an angle
FIGURE 10
If you have a condition where your tractor will be going up a steep incline with your mower still on the flat area or
coming down the opposite incline, you have a potential problem. Figure 11. The correct preventive measure is
to instruct the operator to cross this kind of terrain at an angle. Figure 10. This will reduce the angle between the
tractor and the mower. The problem is more likely to occur if the Cutter is in the raised position while the tractor
is turning sharply and going up an incline.
WARNING: Use the tractor Warning Lights, SMV Sign, Reflectors, and other devices for adequate warning
to the operators of other vehicles. Comply with local governmental regulations.
DANGER: Keep everyone clear while lifting or lowering mower or raising and lowering Wings.
When transporting the mower, keep the Center Section as low to the ground as is practical to increase stability.
Raise the left and right Wing sections and use the transport lock bars to retain them in the upright position.
TRANSPORTING CUTTER:
1. Raise wings to full height.
2. Raise center section.
WARNING: This machine can be turned over. Use caution when operating in transport position. Limit
speed and avoid sharp turns and rough terrain.
