NOTE
: Always turn off the PTO before raising the flail mower to the transport position.
• When the flail mower is raised to
the
transport position, make sure that
the
PTO is not in
contact with the tractor or flail mower. Adjust and set the tractor's 3-point suspension at a
height so that the PTO is not in contact with the flail mower in the raised position.
•
Be
sure to reduce the running speed of the tractor when turning and leave enough space
so
that
the
flail mower does not come into contact with buildings, trees or fences, etc.
• Choose a safe ground speed when transporting from one area to another.
When driving on
roads, drive so that faster-moving vehicles can pass you safely.
• When driving on uneven or hilly terrain, put the tractor in a lower gear.
Caution:
When driving on public roads, regardless of at night or during the day, use lights and other appliances
so that there is sufficient warning for operators of other vehicles.

local laws.

•
When
mowing extremt tall grass, it is best to raise the cutting height and mow off
the
area
several times, during which the height of the flail mower
is
constantly reduced.
