CHAPTER 11
TRANSPORTING
TRANSPORT LOCK
To transport the mower on the highway or from one field
to another, proceed as follows:
1. Disengage the PTO drive and wait for all move-
ment to stop.
2. Raise the mower off the ground with the tractor
3-point hitch system.
3. Refer to Fig. 29. Use the handle-end of the box
wrench (Ref. 3) provided with the mower to re-
lease the protective cover lock (Ref. 1). Then, fold
the cover up and back until it locks in the transport
position.

4. Refer to Fig. 30. Fold the mower parking lock
(Ref. 2) upward (see arrow) until it engages in the

5. Refer to Fig. 31 for steps 5, 6 and 7. Use the tractor
hydraulic control to lower the cutterbar slightly to
allow the stop lock (Fig. 31, Ref. 1) to move away
from the frame stop.
6. Pull on the rope to release the stop lock (Ref. 1)
and use the hydraulic cylinder control to raise the
cutterbar. Maintain tension on the rope until the
stop lock is clear of the frame stop. As the cutter-
bar nears the vertical position, release the tension
on the rope — the hook-type transport lock (Ref.
2) will automatically engage.
CAUTION
BEFORE transporting the disc mower on a
public highway or from one field to another,
BE SURE the transport lock is properly en-
gaged.
7. BE SURE the transport lock is fully engaged.
