Mechanical Lifting Lever for Cutting Unit
The lever is used as a backup lever to put the cutting
unit in either the transport or mowing position when
hydraulic pressure is unavailable. It can also be used to
mechanically secure the cutting unit in the transport
position.
The lever must be used when starting the engine, if the
engine stopped with the unit in the mowing position, in
order to raise the unit so that the start lock circuit is
disengaged.
When the lever is moved to the transport position, the
blade brake is automatically activated so that the
blades stop within about 5 seconds.
Transport Position
Pull the lever backwards to the locked position to
engage the transport position.
The unit is raised and the blades stop rotating.
Mowing Position
Depress the lock button and move the lever forwards to
engage the mowing position.
The unit is lowered and the blades begin to rotate.
If this does not happen it is probably because the unit
has been lifted with the hydraulic lifting lever. Lower the
unit to the mowing position with the lever for the
hydraulic lift.
