SAFETY! Before lifting or transporting the mower, review the hazard

it is imperative to lift it correctly.
b. The machine could weigh up to 1,400 kg (3,100 lbs)
c. There are many sections that move independently.
d. With the mower decks raised it also has a high centre-of-gravity and may topple if not secured
correctly.
e. Labels are fixed to the mower showing the recommended lifting method.
DANGER! Never attempt to lift the mower from underneath using a fork
hoist! Not only is this EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, but the forks will also
damage parts of the mower. Follow the procedure below to prevent
accidents or damage.
2. To lift the mower:
a. Raise the decks into the transport position, ensuring the transport locks engage fully.
b. Fit the transport safety cable to ensure the mower decks cannot lower unexpectedly.
c. Lower the parking jack and adjust it to carry
the weight of the drawbar.
d. Disconnect the transport lock release rope,
electrical cables and hydraulic hoses from
the tractor.
e. Disconnect the primary driveshaft from the
tractor and secure it to the mower.

move it safely out of the way.

using slings, ropes or chains. Two slings,
ropes or chains will be required. The total
weight could be up to 1,400kg (3,100lbs).
Ensure all lifting equipment has the
appropriate rating.

rear of each side outrigger.
i. Once again use suitable padding to protect the paint if necessary.
j. Securely connect all slings, ropes or chains to the hook of the crane or lifting device.
k. Lift the mower carefully until it is just clear of the ground. The front will raise first. This allows it
to be manoeuvred around on its wheels when lowering it onto the deck of a truck.
