CONNECTING THE HYDRAULICS
1) Ensure the tractor controls are in the park position, the engine is
turned off, the parking brake is engaged and hydraulic pressure
to the tractor remote connectors has been relieved per the
tractor operator’s manual instructions.
2) When connecting the hydraulic couplers to the tractor, be sure
that both ends are clean. Dirt in the hydraulic system can block
the orifice in the cylinder and cause premature wear of hydraulic
components on the mower and tractor.
3) Ensure the hoses are free to move, between the tractor and
mower. During operation of the mower the distance between
the tractor and mower will change while going up and down hills
or during turns.
NOTE
– A ball valve is located on the wing lift “raise” hydraulic
coupler. This valve is to be turned on and off for various functions
of the mower. The handle of the ball valve is equipped with a lock
that must be slid up the valve handle before it can be turned. (See
P29)
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin
causing serious injury. If skin penetration occurs, seek medical
attention immediately.
CONNECTING THE PULL ROPE
The Pro-Flex 120 mower is equipped with a nylon pull rope that is
connected to the wing deck release mechanism, used for locking the
two outside wings into transport position.
Connect it to the tractor in a position that is easily accessible to the
operator and will release easily if the mower should ever become
disconnected. Ensure there is sufficient slack between the tractor and
mower to allow for proper maneuvering of machine without rope
becoming entangled.
MOWER SAFETY LOCKS
Safety locks are provided on the wings as well as each individual
mower deck to prevent each from lowering in the event of a failure in
the hydraulic system.
WING SAFETY LOCK
(2) spring activated wing safety locks are located behind the deck
drive train, one for each wing. The lock is engaged automatically
when the wings are raised.
In order to lower the wings:
1) Fully raise the wings (they may have settled against the lock
during transport or storage).
2) From the operator station in the tractor, pull and hold the pull
rope to disengage the locks.
3) Lower the wings to the working position using the tractor
hydraulic control.
4) Release the pull rope when the wings are lowered.
