Tractor Console Control Levers
Cycle parallel arm cylinders and deck cylinder with tractor console controls to ensure they operate properly as follows:
Pre-Operational Instructions
Refer to Figure
1.Read and understand “Transport Safety Chain” on page 20 before continuing.
2.Remove transport safety chain from its latched position and place loose end on the storage hook.
3.Start tractor and adjust
Center Detent Control
Refer to Figure
4.Operate tractor console control lever designated for “ARM 1” by pushing it forward. The inboard arm should extend outward. If “ARM 1” retracts, reverse hydraulic hoses at the duplex outlet (See Figure
5.Repeat this procedure for remaining arm and deck cylinders.
NOTE: Cycle all cylinders to full extension and retraction to remove any air that might be trapped in the system.
6.Check hydraulic fluid level in your tractor's reservoir. If low, add fluid to system before proceeding. The cylinders and hoses will require approximately 1 3/4 gallons from the tractor.
Float Positioning Control
Gauge wheels must be installed before setting tractor operator levers to float position. Install gauge wheels per instructions on page 24 titled “Gauge Wheel Model Set- up“.
To make this functional check, “ARM 1” and “ARM 2” must not be fully extended. Cutter deck should be resting on the gauge wheels.
1.Operate all three tractor console control levers and lower deck to ground level.
2.Set only “ARM 2” and “DECK” control levers in float position. Consult tractor manual if operator is unsure of where float position is for the tractor control levers.
3.Retract “ARM 1” control lever. “ARM 2” and “DECK” cylinders should float (change position) allowing deck gauge wheels to remain resting on the ground.
4.Return control levers to center detent position to regain full control of “ARM 2" and “DECK” pivot cylinders.
