Preparing for Operation

CAUTION: To prevent severe injury or death to you or someone else:

Do not engage tractor PTO when mower is in fully raised position (transport position).

Keep all persons away from machine when raising and lowering mower.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the machine from impact on ground when lowering, adjust rate at which hitch will lower.

1. Adjust tractor rockshaft rate-of-drop. Allow at least three seconds for machine to lower from full lift height to the ground. (See your tractor Operator's manual).

2. If equipped, disengage tractor hitch/rockshaft control lever from transport lock position and lower mower to the ground. (See your tractor Operator's manual).

3. Adjust tractor lift links to level machine side-to-side. (See your tractor Operator's manual).
