LIFT SYSTEM _______________________________________________________

B
The Eclipse 360 lift system operates in one of two modes, service mode and mow mode, depending on the position of
the mow switch (B).
Service Mode - Service mode is active with mow switch (B) in OFF (down) position and parking brake engaged. Service
mode is used to raise or lower the individual reels for servicing, without activating reel motors. Push forward on joystick
(J) to lower reels, or pull back on joystick to raise reels. Only reels with corresponding reel switches (C, D, or E) in the
ON position will lower.
If reels are lowered or in the crosscut position, mow switch is off, and mower starts moving, reels will automatically raise
to the transport position.
NOTICE
A ratcheting sound will come from the lift actuators
if joystick (J) is pulled back with reels fully raised.
The sound is produced by a clutch in the actuator,
and is designed to prevent damage to the actuator.
Mow Mode - Mow mode is active with mow switch (B) in ON (up) position. Reels will automatically lower to crosscut
position when mow switch is turned ON. Push forward and release joystick (J) to fully lower reels and activate reel
motors. Pull back on joystick and release to raise reels to crosscut position and deactivate reel motors. Pull back and
release a second time to fully raise reels to transport position.
Only reels with corresponding reel switches (C, D, or E) in the ON position will lower and activate reel motors. This
allows operation of one, two, or all three reels, depending on area to be cut or operation being performed (clean up pass,
etc.).
NOTE: When operating, depending on mower speed, there will be up to a two second delay before center reel
raises or lowers. See Center Reel Delay on page 49.
If reel(s) fail to raise in mow mode, or an error code appears in the LDU, stop mower, push down on mow switch (B), and
try to raise the reel in service mode. Return mower to the service area to have the lift system inspected.
