Connecting The Hydraulics; Connecting The Pull Rope; Mower Safety Locks - Progressive Turf Equipment Pro-Flex 120 Operators Manual And Parts Lists

CONNECTING THE HYDRAULICS

1) Ensure the tractor controls are in the park position, the engine is turned off, the
parking brake is engaged and hydraulic pressure to the tractor remote connectors
has been relieved per the tractor operator's manual instructions.
2) When connecting
couplers to the tractor, be sure that both
ends are clean. Dirt in the hydraulic
system can block the orifice in the
cylinder and cause premature wear of
hydraulic components on the mower
and tractor.
3) Ensure the hoses are free to move,
between the tractor and mower. During
operation of the mower going up and
down the hills, the distance between the
tractor and mower will change.

CONNECTING THE PULL ROPE

The Pro-Flex 120 mower is equipped with a nylon pull rope that is connected to
the wing deck release mechanism, used for locking the two outside mower decks
into transport position. Connect it to the tractor in a position that is easily
accessible to the operator and will release easily if the mower should ever become
disconnected.

MOWER SAFETY LOCKS

Safety locks are provided on the wings as well as each individual mower deck to
prevent each from lowering in the event of a failure in the hydraulic system.
WING SAFETY LOCK
(2) spring activated wing safety locks are located behind the deck drivetrain, one
for each wing. The lock is engaged automatically when the wings are raised.
