Triple Flail Operation Section 3-7
OPERATION
Next, switch the hose ends and reconnect to form two separate closed loops, see
diagram below. Disconnect the lift cable from the head and secure the loose end back
onto the cable with the cable clevis. Remove the keeper bolt and draft beam outer pivot
pin. Separate the mower head from the tractor. Now reinstall the pivot pin and keeper
bolts into the draft beam to prevent loss.
OPEN THE BALL VALVES ON THE
HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR BEFORE STARTING TRACTOR AGAIN! Serious damage
will be caused if tractor is started with the ball valves closed.
Use a loading dock or ramps to load the tractor onto the trailer, centering the
tractor between the sides of the trailer. Make sure the tractor (and rear mower) and
trailer are within legal transporting width. Lower the rear mower onto the trailer and
set the loose hide mower on the trailer. Secure the tractor and mowers to the trailer
with chains. Check the tractor operators manual for any requirements to transport
be flatbed trailer. Reverse this procedure to unload and remount the mowers after
transporting. Be sure all pins are secure, all connections are tight and any lost fluid
is replaced before using mowers. Use teflon tape when connecting all fittings.
