The rear mower height is controlled with the 3-point hitch control lever. Follow the instructions for this control is the tractor operators manual. The tilt of the rear mower is controlled with the third spool if the lift valve and is coordinated as shown above.

The side and rear mower positions may optionally be controlled with the tractors remote hydraulic connections or a combination of lift valve and remote hydraulics. If so, determine which position of the side or rear mower is to be controlled be each remote lever.

The side mower ON / OFF switch is located in a switch box mounted to the valve stand or cable controls for non-cab and cab units respectively. If operating a rear mower, the ON / OFF switch is located in the switch box with a side mower switch.

This machine may be equipped with an auxiliary oil temperature gauge, an amp gauge or oil pressure gauge. If oil temperature reaches 200 degrees Fahrenheit, stop mowers and see trouble shooting section for possible causes. Keep an eye on all gauges for indication of problems.

MOWER OPERATION

When rotating parts are in motion, serious injury may occur if caution is not used or danger is not recognized. Never allow bystanders within 300 feet of the machine when in operation. Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects – such as gravel, rocks and debris. These conditions should be avoided.

The rotating parts in this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use. However, they could fail upon impact with heavy solid objects – such as steel guard rails, concrete abutments, etc., causing them to be thrown at a very high velocity. Never allow cutter head to contact such objects. Inspecting the cutting area for such objects prior to mowing can help eliminate these potential hazards.
