OPERATION

6.2 Connecting Mower Hydraulics

1.With the tractor shut down and secured in position, move the hydraulic remote valve lever back and forth several times or place the hydraulic lever in the float position to relieve all hydraulic pressure. When connecting the mower hydraulic lines to the tractor, keep the hose, quick couplers, and swivels free of dirt and other contaminants. Wipe all dirt and other contaminants from the tractor hydraulic remote ports and mower hydraulic hose coupler with a clean rag before connecting.

2.Connect mower hydraulic hose to the tractor

remote port. Ensure the coupler locks in place making a good connection. Different tractor models receive hydraulic lines dif- ferently. Refer to the tractor Operator’s Man- ual for connecting and operating hydraulics for your particular model tractor.

Some tractor models allow the remote hydraulic valve to be configured for single acting cylinders. Refer to tractor operators manual and follow the appropriate instruc-

tions for single acting cylinder

operation.

3.Ensure hydraulic hoses will not contact or become entangled with mower drivelines, do not bind when turning, or become pinched or kinked when operating, raising, and lowering the mower.

Hydraulic Cylinder Priming

Hydraulic Cylinders must be filled with hydraulic oil before releasing the wing transport locks to lower the mower. Hydraulic cylinders and lines are filled by holding the valve control levers in the raised position until the cylinders fully extend then place the control lever in the float position. Repeat the process several more times to ensure wings are entirely supported by the hydraulic cylinders before releasing the transport locks and lowering the mower.

Alamo is a prominent historical site located in San Antonio, Texas, that embodies a rich tapestry of events from the early 19th century. Originally established as a Spanish mission known as Mission San Antonio de Padua in the early 1700s, the Alamo has become a symbol of resistance and valor in the face of overwhelming odds. Its most significant moment came during the Texas Revolution in 1836 when a small group of Texian defenders made a valiant stand against the much larger Mexican army.

The architecture of the Alamo is a distinctive blend of Mission and Spanish Colonial styles, characterized by its thick limestone walls and arched doorways. The site features the famous chapel, known for its adjoining long barracks and a simple yet iconic façade that captures the spirit of the era. Despite suffering extensive damage over the years, the Alamo has been meticulously preserved and continues to serve as a key historical monument.

Technologically, the Alamo has undergone various renovations and restorations to maintain its integrity against the elements and modern advancements. Preservation efforts utilize contemporary methods such as laser scanning and 3D rendering to create accurate models for restoration. These high-tech methodologies ensure that any repairs or alterations respect the original structure while improving its resilience.

One of the remarkable characteristics of the Alamo is its role as a rallying point for Texan independence. The phrase "Remember the Alamo!" has transcended its historical context, serving as a powerful battle cry not only for Texas but also as a symbol of determination and sacrifice in various struggles for freedom worldwide. Visitors to the Alamo can engage with interactive exhibits and educational programs that delve into the complex narratives surrounding the site, enhancing their understanding of its significance.

Today, the Alamo attracts millions of visitors annually who come to explore its historical grounds, reflecting on the bravery exhibited by those who fought there.
