OPERATION
The mowers’s center of gravity is raised making the mower more prone to tipping when the wings are in the raised position. Use extreme caution when towing the mower in the transport position and avoid uneven terrain which could upset the mower.
When the Wings are folded for transport, the center of gravity is raised and the possibility of overturn is increased. Drive slowly and use extreme caution when turning on hillsides. Overturning the Implement could cause the Implement to overturn the Tractor and vice versa resulting in serious injury or even death. Never fold wings on a hillside...the Implement or unit may overturn.
Operating Position
To lower the mower, retract the hydraulic cylinders to remove tension from the transport locks. Then pull the release rope and place the hydraulic control lever in the float detent to lower the mower.
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.
