Optional Hydraulic Transport Locks
Refer to Figure 2-5:
With transport locking cylinder (#6) fully retracted,
transport locks (#1) should be fully seated in locking
lugs (#2) with slight slack in aircraft cables (#5). If
needed, shorten or lengthen cables (#5).
1.
Fully retract deck folding cylinders (#7) and transport
lock cylinder (#6). Make sure all decks are folded up
and locked.
2.
Check slack in all three aircraft cables (#5):
a. They should have slight slack and not be tight.
b. They should not be too slack or cables (#5) will not
be able to pull transport locks (#1) out of locking
lugs (#2).
Figure 2-5 is shown with mower decks down
for clarity. Mower decks will need to be folded up
and locked in the transport to check adjustment of
transport locks.
3.
If needed, adjust aircraft cables (#5) as follows:
a. Loosen cable clamps (#4A & #4B), and tighten or
loosen aircraft cable (#5) to create a slight slack in
the cable.
b. Use cable clamp (#4A) closest to the spring to
create a loop about 1 1/4" in diameter. The loop
should be big enough to allow rotation around the
spring but small enough not to come off the
washers.
c. Tighten cable clamp (#4A).
d. Secure excess cable with remaining clamp (#4B)
and then tighten clamp (#4B).
