JD 7X30 COUGAR Operation Section 3-13
OPERATION
Operating the mower in a manner that allows the cutting knives to
continually fold back will cause permanent damage to the knives, rotary
disk, and spindle assembly.
The Heavy Duty Rotary cutter head is designed for clockwise rotation
(clockwise as seen from the top or the currer head). Never operate the
cutter head in the counterclockwise rotation. Operating this mower in
counterclockwise rotation may cause objects to be thrown towards the
tractor.
UNSTOWING BOOM
To un-stow the boom from the boom rest, proceed as follows. Switch travel lock
to “OFF”. Move main boom “UP” to lift the secondary boom off of the boom support.
Swivel boom “FORWARD” perpendicular to tractor. The head and booms are now
ready for full operation.
TRANSPORTING MOWER
Transporting under the units own power:
NOTE: ONLY when transporting under the units own power is it permissible to
rest the head in any of the resting positions. When transporting on a trailer
the head MUST be resting on the position designed for the head you are
using.
When transporting between job sites, the following procedure should be followed:
Shut off the power to the cutting head and allow all motion to come to a complete
stop. Roll the mower deck “OUT” all the way until it is adjacent to the secondary
boom. Extend the secondary boom “OUT” to clear the boom rest. Next, swivel the
boom “AFT” and manuver the main boom until it rests on the boom rest. Switch over
to the knuckle control and curl the knuckle “Back”. Slowly and carefully lower the
secondary boom until it contacts the desired cradle. Lastly, place the “Travel Lock”
switch on the main control switch box to the “ON” position. The unit is now ready for
self transportation. (See picture of stowed boom on next page).
OPERATING DECK ROTATION
WITH TRACTOR REMOTES
Orient the Mower Deck in a horizontal position before rotating mower deck. Push
tractor remote valve lever forward to rotate deck counter - clockwise from stowed
position to cutting position. Pull remote valve lever aft to rotate deck clockwise.
Deck shall be rotated completely clockwise for stowing in the boom rest position.
