OPERA
T
ION
MOWER LIFT
The handle nearest the center of the tractor, actuates the Lift Cylinder (Inboard).
Pulling the valve handle back, towards the operator, causes the Lift Cylinder to raise the Extension Arm.
If the handle is released, the valve will automatically return to center and the Extension Arm will be locked in
place.
Pushing the valve handle forward, away from the operator, causes the Lift Cylinder to lower the Extension Arm.
Pulling the handle all the way back until it locks places the mower lift function in float, allowing the unit to rise
and fall with the terrain.
MOWER TILT
The handle furthest to the center of the tractor, actuates the Tilt Cylinder (Outboard).
Pulling the valve handle back, toward the operator, causes the Tilt Cylinder to raise the Mower Head.
If the handle is released, the valve will automatically return to center and the head will be locked in place.
Pushing the valve handle forward, away from the operator, causes the Tilt Cylinder to lower the Mower Head.
HEAD PITCH
Incorrect head pitch and/or alignment can cause poor cutting performance in side rotary mowers.
Head Pitch is defined as the relationship of the front of the mower to the rear of the mower, as viewed from the
side. The desired head pitch for the Side Rotary mowers is for the blade at the front of the mower to be
between 3/4" and 1" lower than the blade at the rear.
