Product Overview
Controls
Transport Frame Controls
Control Levers
The controls are conveniently located on the control
tower at the front of the frame.
Hold the lever(s) in their respective positions until the
cycle is completed, then return the lever(s) to neutral.
•
To raise the mower(s), push the control lever(s)
up, to lower the mower(s) push the control lever(s)
down.
•
To partially raise or lower the mower(s), push the
control lever(s) for a short period of time to move
the mowers as desired.
Hydraulic System Controls
The transport frame is equipped with an open center
hydraulic system, and is designed for use with a tow
vehicle using the same system. Special precautions
must be taken if the tow vehicle is not an open center
hydraulic system. Determine which system is on
your tow vehicle and use the following operating
procedures:
1.
Open center hydraulic system on the tow
vehicle and open center hydraulic system on
the transport frame.
•
Connect the supply and return hoses to the
tow vehicle valve couplers. Ensure that the
high pressure line is connected to the inlet
port on the frame valve.
Note:
A check valve is installed into the end
of the return line.
•
Operate the tow vehicle
hydraulic-directional-control-valve lever to
allow a continual flow of fluid to the transport
frame valve.
•
Start the tow vehicle and raise or lower the
mowers using the control levers
Note:
If the mowers will not raise or lower,
the supply and return hoses may be reversed.
Reinstall the couplers reversing the position.
Mark the hoses for future identification or
connect a male and female coupler section to
the transport hoses to prevent reversal.
