9.2 Control Location and Functions
The side mower height is controlled with a two or three spool valve and is coordinated as shown below. The
optional three spool valve allows for the operation of a rear rotary mower or side ditcher. If the unit is equipped
with a three spool valve, do not operate the third spool handle unless a rear rotary or ditcher is mounted.
The rear mower height is controlled with the 3-point hitch control lever. Follow the instructions for this control in
the tractor operator’s manual. The tilt of the rear mower is controlled with the third spool of the lift valve, and is
coordinated as shown in
Figure Ops-1246.
The side and rear mower positions may optionally be controlled with the tractor’s remote hydraulic connections
or a combination of lift valve and remote hydraulics. If so, determine which position of the side or rear mower is
to be controlled by each remote lever.
The side mower ON/OFF switch is located in a switch box mounted to the valve stand or cable controls for non-
cab and cab units respectively. If operating a rear mower, the ON/OFF switch is located in the switch box with
a side mower switch.
This machine may be equipped with an auxiliary oil temperature gauge, an amp gauge or oil pressure gauge. If
oil temperature reaches 200° F, stop mowers and see
Troubleshooting Section for possible causes. Keep
and eye on all gauges for indication of problems.
