OPERATION

2.With the mower fully supported by the skid steer boom, lower the mower to ground level. Slightly tilt the front of the mower head upward about 2” from ground level. Turn off the engine, set the parking brake, and exit the skid steer. Push both latch handles downward to engage the hitch pins into the mower hitch retaining tabs. Never extend any part of your body from the operator’s area to operate latches or to connect hydraulic lines or the height limit- ing chain. The mower hitch is now securely attached to the mounting plate of the skid steer.

3.With the skid steer still completely shut down, secure the height limiting safety chain to the front of the skid steer chassis. Attach chain so that lift height is limited to 18 inches.

7. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND SERVICE

Before each use, a pre-operation inspection and service of the mower and skid steer must be performed. This includes routine maintenance and scheduled lubrication, inspecting that all safety devices are equipped and functional, and performing needed repairs. Do not operate the mower and skid steer if the pre-operation inspection reveals any condition affecting safe operation. Perform repairs and replacement of damaged and missing parts as soon as noticed. By performing a thorough pre-operation inspection and service, valuable down time and repair cost may be avoided.

Always disconnect the auxiliary hydraulic couplers from the Power Unit before performing service on the Implement. Never work on the Implement with the Power Unit auxiliary hydraulics connected. Rotating parts such as blades could turn without warning and cause immediate entanglement, injury or death.

Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace when necessary with authorized service parts. Look for loose fasteners, worn or broken parts, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins have cotter pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not maintaining this machine in good working order.
