TRANSPORT

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.
