The Articulator is designed specifically for finish mowing applications. One of the unique benefits 
of the Articulator's cutting system is its ability to float over contours that are impossible for other 
wide-area mowers to cut accurately. The Articulator offers a high level of maneuverability.

Although  the  Articulator  is  an  industrial-quality  mower,  do 
not  attempt  to use it  to cut extremely  long  grass or  areas 
heavy with brush or debris.

1.

Complete  the  Initial  Set-Up  section  of  this  manual  BEFORE  attempting  to  operate  the 
Articulator. 

2.

Transport to the work area. 

3.

Ensure the Articulator is not positioned over any debris or loose objects.

4.

Remove the deck safety cables and lower the Articulator into cutting position.

5.

Ensure there are no people near the Articulator, especially in the path of discharge.

6.

Set the parking brake and turn off the drive unit.

7.

Release the deck lock cables and secure to allow the Articulator to float properly; secure 
the loose chains.

8.

Start the drive unit on a low RPM setting. 

Do not engage the PTO with the drive unit at high idle.

9.

Engage the PTO.

If there is any belt squeal, excessive vibration, or any indication of obstructions or debris in the 
blades, disengage the PTO at once.

If the Articulator appears to be operating correctly, slowly increase the drive unit engine speed until 
the PTO shaft is operating at the drive unit manufacturer's recommended operating RPM. 

Do  not  exceed  the  drive  unit  manufacturer's  recom-
mended operating RPM during operation of the Articu-
lator.

10.

Release the parking brake and carefully begin cutting.
