Engaging The Mower; Mowing - Progressive Turf Equipment Pro-Flex 120 Operators Manual And Parts Lists

ENGAGING THE MOWER

When engaging the mower, it is important to follow this procedure:
1) Lower the wings and decks into the working position.
2) Ensure all deck cylinders are FULLY EXTENDED. Close the quarter turn
valve. This will ensure the wings are locked down during mowing.
3) Set the tractor engine speed at 1000 rpm maximum.
4) Ensure that everyone is clear of the mower.
5) Engage the tractor PTO lever.
6) Select the proper ground speed gear and slowly engage the clutch.
7) Once the mower has come up to speed, slowly increase the tractor throttle
to desired rpm.

MOWING

The Pro-Flex 120 mower is a very versatile cutting machine that allows the
operator to maintain turf on undulating terrain in a productive manner. Drive
safely, cut safely. Be sure to idle the tractor back before engaging the PTO, and
shut the tractor off before leaving the tractor.
NOTE: Under normal cutting conditions, it may be desirable to operate the
tractor at less than 540 rpm PTO speed, reducing fuel consumption and
the noise level. Select a suitable ground speed gear to maintain proper
cutting.

down the PTO. When mowing near cart paths or other roadways, the operator can
save time by moving from section to section without raising the wings to the full
transport position by utilizing the Pro Lift-N-Turn
can also be used to start the mower in tall grass. Engaging the blades with the
decks raised will reduce start-up loading on the mower drivetrain.

decks during operation using the tractor hydraulic valve until the deck cylinders
are fully retracted. Once the mower is again in position to mow, the operator can
lower the decks and continue mowing. It is possible to perform this without
disengaging the PTO.
