6. Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping or loss of control.
7. Avoid tipping the mower while cutting.
8. Watch for holes, roots or other hidden objects. Do not use near the edge of a gully,
ditch or stream bank.
An anti-scalping roller is recommended for uneven ground contours. The roller
rides the nose of the mower over a mound to help keep the nose from bulldozing
or the blades from scalping the ground.
3.10 - Removing Mower from the Tractor
CAUTION: Disengage tractor PTO. Set parking brake. Stop engine and remove
key from ignition. Disconnect mower driveline from tractor PTO shaft. Collapse
driveline and store in appropriate place. Disconnect three point linkage and
carefully drive tractor away from mower.
3.11 - Transport
Before raising the mower for transport, the tractor top link must be adjusted so when
lifted, the rear of the machine is higher than the front (the mower’s nose is tilted
downward). To do this, shorten the tractor top link until the top hitch plate is locked
forward and no longer able to pivot. This will keep the mower locked in position and
minimize the shaking and bouncing during transport which can damage the hitch or
frame.
CAUTION: Make sure PTO is disengaged and blades have stopped turning before
raising mower to full transport position. Do not tow tractor and mower behind
other vehicles. Use a properly equipped trailer with heavy tie-downs for towing
operations.
Before transporting:
1. Always select a safe ground speed that is appropriate for the terrain.
2. Beware of traffic on public roads. Install a SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign when
traveling on roads or streets. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.
3. Reduce ground speed when turning and take care that the implement does not strike
obstacles such as trees, fences or buildings.
4. Always disengage PTO before raising the implement to transport position.
5. When raising the mower be sure the PTO driveline does not hit either the mower or
the tractor.
6. During transport the mower should not be lifted over 14” to 16” from the ground.
