4.3 Preparation For Cutting
DANGER!
Always follow all safety rules stated in this manual and in your tractor manual. A
well-informed, safety-conscience operator is the best safeguard against accidents
or injuries.
Never allow extended running of any engine indoors! Exhaust gasses contain car-
bon-monoxide, and can be fatal.
WARNING!
Never attempt to operate the Articulator until you have read and understood this
manual and your tractor manual in their entirety!
CAUTION!
Always perform the preoperation equipment inspection before attempting to operate
the Articulator.
Always perform the appropriate maintenance schedule(s) before attempting to
operate the Articulator.
The Articulator is designed specifically for finish mowing applications. One of the unique
benefits of the Articulator's cutting system is its ability to float over contours that are
impossible for other wide-area mowers to cut accurately. The Articulator offers a high
level of maneuverability.
Although the Articulator is an industrial-quality mower, do not attempt to use it to cut
extremely long grass or areas heavy with brush or debris.
Before operating the Articulator, you must read and completely understand this manual
as well as the tractor manual. In addition, you must also complete the appropriate mainte-
nance schedules and perform a complete pre-operating checklist.
Complete the Initial Set-Up section of this manual BEFORE attempting to operate
the Articulator.
1. Release the deck lock cables to allow the Articulator to float properly.
2. Secure the deck lock cables to the chains.
