OPERATION

6.1 Swing

The handle nearest the center of the tractor, in the bank of four valves, actuates the SWING cylinder. This

valve has three positions and operates in three ways.

Push the valve handle forward and you admit hydraulic fluid to the Rod End of the SWING cylinder, causing

the boom to swing out to the right side of the tractor. (See Diagram).

If the handle is released, the valve will automatically return to center, and the boom will be LOCKED in

position.

Pull the valve handle back towards you and admit hydraulic fluid to the dead end of the cylinder causing the

boom to swing back toward the rear of the tractor. If the handle is continually held in this position, the boom

will continue to the left side of the tractor.

Again, if the valve handle is released, the valve will automatically return to center and the boom will be

LOCKED in place.

BOOM SAFETY VALVE - If a rigid object (guard railpost, tree, etc.) is struck by the extended boom while the

unit is moving forward the boom safety valve will allow the boom to swing rearward, and minimize the

possibility of damage.

NOTICE: This device will NOT work if the unit is mowing BACK WARDS and the boom is in the full forward

position.

Make certain that the Boom swing p ath is cl ear of byst anders, powerlines, and obstructions

to prevent injury, electrocution, and possible machine damage. Swing Boom SLOWLY

AND CAREFULLY. Avoid sudden starting and stopping. (Ops-0002-MISC)
