2. Transport lock release mechanism:
a. The release mechanism is the same for the standard pull rope or the optional electric operation.
b. Pivoting arms unhook from the latch pins when the release is operated.
c. The release rope is linked to an arm to operate the rear deck lock release.
d. The rear arm is also connected to the LH & RH deck arms. Both these operate when the rear
deck lock arm is operated.
WARNING! Always fit the transport safety cable when transporting, parking
or storing the mower with the mower decks in the raised position
3. The transport safety cable;
a. A safety cable is fitted to the mower to prevent the mower
decks lowering accidentally.
b. This provides backup should the transport locks not
engage properly or fail altogether.
c. It should be used every time the mower is to be
transported between jobs and whenever the mower is
parked up or stored with the mower decks in the raised
position.
d. The cable has an eye in one end and a hook on the other.
e. The eye is secured to the outer end of one outrigger.
f. When not in use the hook is attached to a lug near the
transport lock at the inboard end of the same outrigger.
g. When the mower decks are raised for transport or when the
mower is parked up, release the cable from the storage
position and connect it to the lug provided in the end of the
other outrigger.
h. This connects the left and right outriggers to prevent either
from lowering accidentally.
IMPORTANT! Always return the cable to the storage position when
lowering the mower decks. If left free it will cause serious damage to other
parts of the machine.
15b. Raise & Lower The Mower Decks - Standard Pull Rope.
IMPORTANT! Drive to the mower MUST be disengaged before the mower
decks are lifted. Disengage the tractor’s PTO and wait for all rotating parts to
stop before operating the hydraulic lift control. Failure to do so will result in
severe damage to the mower deck driveshafts and other drive components.
