OPERATION

63” BOOM FLAIL

The 63” boom flail mower was designed for cutting grass. The cutter shaft speed must be maintained for proper cutting. To insure that the cutter shaft is rotating at maximun speed, run tractor at full throttle during mowing operations. If cutter shaft slows to the point that the knives are folding back against the cutter shaft, move the mower head away from the foliage and allow the cutter shaft to regain full speed.

Operating the mower in a manner that allows the knives to contact

the drum will cause permanent damage to the cutter shaft drum, knives, and knife attachment parts.

The 63” boom flail cutter shaft is designed for standard rotation (same rotation as the tractor wheels during forward travel). Never operate the cutter shaft in reverse rotation. Operating this mower in reverse rotation may cause objects to be thrown out the front of the mower head.

UNSTOWING BOOM

To un-stow the boom from the boom rest, proceed as follows. Extend the

secondary boom “OUT” and lift the head off of the boom rest. Extend the knuckle boom “STRAIGHT”. Move main boom “UP” off of main boom support. Swivel boom “FORWARD” perpendicular to tractor and switch travel lock to “OFF”. The head and booms are now ready for full operation.

TRANSPORTING MOWER

Transporting under the units own power:

NOTE: ONLY when transporting under the units own power is it permissible to rest the head in any of the resting positions. When transporting on a trailer the head MUST be resting on the position designed for the head you are using.

When transporting between job sites, the following procedure should be followed: Shut off the power to the cutting head and allow all motion to come to a complete stop. Roll the mower deck “OUT” all the way until it is adjacent to the secondary boom. Extend the secondary boom “OUT” to clear the boom rest. Next, swivel the boom “AFT” and manuver the main boom until it rests on the boom rest. Switch over to the knuckle control and curl the knuckle “Back” fully. Slowly and carefully lower the secondary boom until it contacts the desired cradle. Lastly, place the “Travel Lock” switch on the main control switch box to the “ON” position. The unit is now ready for self transportation. (See picture of stowed boom on next page).
