1. Inspect blade carriers for locked blades prior to
lowering the wings. Separate locked blades.
2. Start tractor and raise both wings up to release any
tension on the transport lock pins.
Cutting should not be done in wet
conditions. Wet material will build up on the deck
underside creating high wear, poor discharge, and
the need for additional horsepower.
Cutting blades may become locked
together (overlapped) when the wings are raised for
transport. Operating cutter in this condition will result
in severe deck vibration. Inspect wings for locked
blades prior to power-on operation.
