13. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR, FLEX-ARM, AND MOWER
Inherent dangers of operating the tractor,flex arm, and mower and the possibility of accidents are not left behind
when you finish mowing an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation practices
when transporting the tractor, flex arm, and mower between locations. By using good judgement and following
safe transport procedures, the possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be substantially minimized.
DANGER!
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or
Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
(SG-10)
It is critical that driveline clutches slip when an obstacle or heavy load is encountered to avoid flex arm
,mower, and tractor damage. If the flex arm & mower sit outside for an extended period of time or are exposed
to rain and/or humid air, the clutch lining plates must be inspected to ensure they are not frozen together
from rust or corrosion. If the flex arm & mower have been exposed to such conditions, at the start of each
mowing season, and any time it is suspected that the slip clutch plates may be frozen together, readjust the
slip clutch as explained in the maintenance section of the rotary cutter manual.
DANGER!
Never allow children to play on or around the Tractor and Implement. Children can slip or
fall off the Equipment and be injured or killed. Children can cause the Implement to shift or
fall crushing themselves and others. (SG-25)
Properly preparing and storing the flex arm & mower at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its
appearance and to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures:
1. Thoroughly clean all debris off the flex arm & mower
to prevent damage from rotting grass and standing
water.
2. Lubricate all flex arm & mower grease points and
fill gearbox oil levels as detailed in the maintenance
section.
3. Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended
torque.
4. Check the flex arm & mower for worn and damaged
parts. Perform repairs and make replacements
immediately so that the flex arm & mower will be
ready for use at the start of the next season.
5. Store the flex arm & mower in a clean, dry place
with the flex arm frame & mower housing resting
securely on blocks or at ground level.
6. Keep the drivelines yokes from sitting in water, dirt
and other contaminants.
