Unfold Mower Decks
The mower is furnished with either manual transport
locks or optional hydraulic transport locks. Manual
transport locks are released with a pull rope. Hydraulic
transport locks are released with the same tractor
hydraulic control lever that is used for raising and lower
the mower decks.
IMPORTANT: Make sure deck floating pins are
removed before unfolding AFM4216 mower decks.
IMPORTANT: Make sure transport locks are fully
unlatched before unfolding the mower.
IMPORTANT: When unfolding mower, fully extend
cylinders to utilize maximum flexibility. Damage to
mower may occur if cylinders are not fully extended.
