9.4 Operating Position
Ensure that ON/OFF switch(es) is (are) in "OFF"
position. Remove travel lock pin. With tractor
engine running, pull LIFT control lever rearward
until bracket on cutter unit clears the travel lock
bracket on lift cylinder support. Push TILT control
lever forward until cutter unit is level with ground.
Push LIFT lever forward enough to slowly lower unit
until it touches ground, then push both levers
forward to "FLOAT" position.
NOTE: For best mowing results and longer roller
life, both LIFT and TILT levers should be in
"FLOAT" position while mowing.
It takes some effort to pull TILT lever from "FLOAT"
position because of detent spring.
The mower must be operated with the cutter sections fully lowered and the hydraulic control lever in the float
detent to ensure the mower follows the contour of the ground and to prevent sections from creeping up.
NEVER attempt to raise the mower while the mower is operating.
