Operating Position
Ensure that ON/OFF switch(es) is (are) in "OFF"
position. With tractor engine running, pull LIFT
control lever rearward until bracket on cutter unit
clears support bar on lift cylinder support. Push
TILT control lever forward until cutter unit is level
with ground.Push LIFT lever forward enough to
slowly lower unit until it touches ground, then push
both levers forward to "FLOAT" position.
NOTE: For best mowing results and longer roller
life, both LIFT and TILT levers should be in
"FLOAT" position while mowing.
It takes some effort to pull TILT lever from "FLOAT"
position because of detent spring.
The mower must be operated with the cutter
sections fully lowered and the hydraulic control
lever in the float detent to ensure the mower follows
the contour of the ground and to prevent sections
from creeping up. NEVER attempt to raise the
mower while the mower is operating.
