Mower Deck Operation
Stay well clear of blades during operation.
Clear area of all personnel before engaging the blades.
Verify that all safety covers are in place before operating your Articula-
tor.
Do not aim/point/etc. the discharge in the direction of bystanders, vehi-
cles, or buildings.
Do not operate your Articulator when children are present.
Your Articulators is equipped with a mower deck comprised of three blades. All three
blades are belt driven - the drive belt (located under the operator seat pan) drives the
center blade, and the deck belt drives each blade. The idler belt tension system takes up
excess belt length or releases additional belt length as necessary during the operation of
the deck.
In order to engage the blades, the operator-presence switch (located within the operator
seat) must be activated. The activation of the operator-presence switch is activated when
the operator is properly seated in the operator seat.
