OPERATION

Operating Position

Ensure that ON/OFF switch(es) is (are) in "OFF" position. With tractor engine running, pull LIFT control lever rearward until bracket on cutter unit clears support bar on lift cylinder support. Push TILT control lever forward until cutter unit is level with ground.Push LIFT lever forward enough to slowly lower unit until it touches ground, then push both levers forward to "FLOAT" position.

NOTE: For best mowing results and longer roller life, both LIFT and TILT levers should be in "FLOAT" position while mowing.

It takes some effort to pull TILT lever from "FLOAT" position because of detent spring.

The mower must be operated with the cutter sections fully lowered and the hydraulic control lever in the float detent to ensure the mower follows the contour of the ground and to prevent sections from creeping up. NEVER attempt to raise the mower while the mower is operating.
