OPERATION
Before transporting tractor between locations, idle the tractor engine, disengage the attached head, and wait for all head motion to come to a complete stop. Place the boom in its storage cradle rest support and then turn the joystick master switch to the OFF position.
Placing Boom Articulating Arm on Boom Arm Rest
•Extend the dipper section approximately half way out.
•Then pull the second (Lift) back toward the operator lifting the arm about 3/4 (three- fourths) of the way up.
•After this position is accomplished, pull the first handle (Swing) back toward the operator until the arm has swung over the rest located on the ROPS near the top.
•Now by operating the second handle (Lift) and/or the third handle (Dipper) lower the arm onto the rest.
•There is a formed “V” plate on the dipper section of the arm that fits onto the rest.
To remove from the transport position, pull the section handle (Lift) back and raise the unit about 6” (inches). Then swing the boom around to the side and you are ready to mow. Transport slowly and carefully on slopes and round terrain.
Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway or boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake pedals should be locked together. Locking the pedals ensures that both wheels brake simultaneously while stopping, especially when making an emergency stop.
Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications of the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at road speeds. Never tow the implement at speeds greater than 20 MPH (32 kph).
