TRANSPORT & OPERATING
POSITION LOCKS (Fig. 6)
Stop lock (Ref. 1) - When in the operating position, this
lock is provided to prevent raising the cutterbar to the
transport position.
Transport hook- type lock (Ref. 2) - When the cutterbar
is moved into the transport position, this lock is
automatically engaged to prevent the cutterbar from
lowering.
Cylinder stroke limiter Lock (Ref. 5) - When in the
operating position and with the hydraulic control set to
“float” position, this lock prevents the cylinder rod
clevis from bottoming against the cylinder packing
gland.
All three of these locks are released by pulling on the
rope release mechanism (Ref. 4).
NOTE: Refer to the Transporting chapter for
proper procedures to place the cutterbar in the
transport and operating positions.
CAUTION
BEFORE transporting the disc mower on a
public highway or from one field to another,
BE SURE the transport hook lock is properly
engaged.
