1. To lift the mower decks:
a. Bring the tractor to a stop on level ground.
b. Disengage the tractor’s PTO drive and wait for all
rotating parts to stop.
c. Ensure the area is clear of all bystanders, especially
children.
d. Pull the transport lock release rope.
e. Operate the tractor’s auxiliary hydraulic control to lift
the mower decks.
f. When the decks are all partially raised, release the
transport lock release rope (or the Remote Unlock
button.
g. When all the decks are raised, and the locks have
engaged, operate the tractor hydraulics to lower the
decks. They will settle slightly against the transport locks.
CAUTION! The rear deck will usually lift first but either the right or left
deck could follow. A deck that has started to lift may partially drop
again before resuming its lift cycle. Keep well clear until all decks have
fully raised, and the transport locks have engaged.
WARNING! Make sure there is no tension on the transport lock release
rope while the mower decks are being raised. If the rope is tight it will
prevent the transport locks from engaging properly.
2. To lower the mower decks:
a. Ensure the machine is in a clear, level area large
enough to accommodate the mower decks when
lowered.
b. Bring the tractor to a stop, apply the parking brake
and ensure all controls are in neutral.
c. If the transport safety cable is fitted between the two
outriggers, release the hook and connect it in the
storage position.
d. Pull on the transport lock release rope while
operating the auxiliary hydraulic lever to raise the
mower decks. As the load comes off the locks they
will release.
e. Continue to pull on the release rope while operating the hydraulic lever to lower the mower
decks. Do not release the tension on the rope until the rear deck has begun to descend.
f. To avoid damage always lower the mower decks to the ground gently.
g. Place the auxiliary hydraulic control in the “float” position if possible, particularly if the mower
will be operating on severely undulating ground. See your tractor operator’s manual for more
information.
IMPORTANT! Never attempt to engage drive to the mower while the rear
deck is raised. Doing so will severely damage the driveshaft and other drive
components. Always stop the PTO before raising the rear mower deck.
