OPERATION

An angle float position can be selected which allows the flail head to automatically angle itself to follow the contours of the ground. To obtain this position the control lever must be pushed away from the operator beyond its normal range until it locks into the float position. To return to normal operation the float position must be manually deselected. When working with head angle float the flail head must be in balance about its mounting point. Failure to observe this will result in a poor cut.
