Operating the Machine/Mowing
Never place limbs under the machine while rotors are turning. Rotors can remain turning for up to 1 minute
after disengaging PTO.
While operating this machine the PTO input rate should not exceed the RPM stated in the Product
Specications section of this booklet. Always operate on level ground when connecting/disconnecting the
implement. This will prevent dangerous movement.
Never allow anyone to stand between the tractor and the machine. Ensure the machine is attached correctly
to the tractor as previously described. Always start up the tractor PTO at a low RPM. Build up to operating
speed, select a suitable forward gear & proceed to cut grass.
1. Hitch the machine as outlined in the previous section. Ensure bystanders are clear from the machine & cannot be
hit with debris expelled from the machine.
2. Locate the Parking Jack on its side under the PTO shaft on the stub provided (Trailed models only)
3. Ensure the PTO stand is ipped down. (Trailed models only)
4. Check PTO shaft is fully engaged on tractor PTO splines.
5. Raise the machine by hydraulic control. (Trailed models only)
6. Flip back axle and drawbar ram stoppers. (Trailed models only)
7. Lower the machine by hydraulic control to the ground or use tractor linkage controls.
8. After clearing the vicinity of bystanders, relocate the Wing Transport Locking Bars. Lower the wings by hydraulic
control. Ensure hydraulic ram is fully closed. (Winged mowers only).
9. Start up the tractor PTO at a low RPM.
10. Build up to operating speed, select a suitable forward gear & proceed to cut grass.

ALWAYS HAVE THE TRACTOR SWITCHED ON WHEN RAISING THE WINGS INTO TRANSPORT POSITION.
IMPORTANT: The transport locking bars, transport pin and axle ram stopper should always be slotted into place while
transporting the machine. Doing this removes pressure from the hydraulic system. Failure to use the safety equipment
can cause mechanical as well as physical damage.
