OPERATION
Operating the mower in a manner that allows the cutting knives to continually fold back will cause permanent damage to the knives, rotary disk, and spindle assembly.
The Heavy Duty Rotary cutter head is designed for clockwise rotation (clockwise as seen from the top or the currer head). Never operate the cutter head in the counterclockwise rotation. Operating this mower in counterclockwise rotation may cause objects to be thrown towards the tractor.

Orient the Mower Deck in a horizontal position before rotating mower deck. Push tractor remote valve lever forward to rotate deck counter - clockwise from stowed position to cutting position. Pull remote valve lever aft to rotate deck clockwise. Deck shall be rotated completely clockwise for stowing in the boom rest position.

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”. 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).
