OPERATION
CABLE CONTROLLED MOWERS
A control lever decal similar to the one shown below should be near the control valve to remind the operator of the lever functions.
The main control valve on the Tiger Rear Stow Boom has multiple sections with tapered spools, located near the right side of the steering wheel. The malfunction of a section of the valve does not necessitate the replacement of the entire “bank”, only the faulty section. Each section of the valve controls a certain position of the boom or deck. Seated in the operators seat, the controls from left to right are #1 - primary(main) boom, #2 – secondary boom, #3 – deck roll, #4 – boom (swivel)swing & knuckle boom, and #5 boom(safety) shield.
Lever #4 is set up to be used for both the swivel function and the knuckle function. When using the knuckle, stop any movement of the boom. Then push the button on the end of Lever #4. At this time the indicator light on the switch box will light up, telling you the knuckle funcion is activated. You will then be able to straighten the knuckle and move it backward.
To switch back to the swivel function, stop any movement to the boom. Push the button on the end of Lever #4. The indicator light will shut off, letting you know that the swivel is now active.
NOTE: The mower head can still move if the switch box has no power.
