Lock
CAUTION: Excessive rate-of-drop may cause
damage or injury. Fully lowering implement
should require at least two seconds.
Rockshaft drops faster when a heavy implement is
attached. Adjust rate-of-drop knob so that it is slow
enough to be safe and prevent implement damage.
Turn rockshaft rate-of-drop knob (A), located under the
seat, clockwise to slow rockshaft drop.
Turn knob counterclockwise to increase rate-of-drop.
Rate-of-drop knob is also called implement lock. When
knob is fully screw in, implement will not lower down even
if position control lever is fully down. Use implement lock
while transporting implement.
