Starting The Tractor; (9.2) Raising The Mower; (9.3) Brake And Differential Lock Setting - Alamo Industrial Hydro 88 Operator's Manual

9.1 Starting the Tractor

The procedure to start the tractor is model specific.
Refer to the tractor operator's manual for starting
procedures for your particular tractor. Consult an
authorized dealer if the starting procedure is unclear.
Ensure the PTO is disengaged before starting the
tractor.
9.2 Raising the Mower
Using the tractor 3-point hitch control lever, raise the
mower off the ground about 6", or just high enough to
clear any ground obstacles. When raising the mower,
make sure all connection points are securely attached
and at least 1" clearance is maintained between the
driveline and the deck. If necessary, place an upper lift
stop on the 3-point hitch control lever to limit the height
the mower can be raised to avoid driveline damage
WARNING!
Never leave the Tractor and Implement unattended while the Implement is
in the lifted position. Accidental operation of lifting lever or a hydraulic
failure
To properly park the implement when disconnecting it from the tractor,
lower the stand and put the retaining pin securely in place, or put a secure
support under the A-Frame. Lower the implement carefully to the ground.
Do not put hands or feet under lifted components.
9.3 Brake and Differential Lock Setting
Make sure the tractor brakes are in good operating
condition. Tractor brakes can be set to operate
independently allowing single rear wheel braking action
or locked together to provide simultaneous rear wheel
braking. FOR MOST DRIVING AND MOWING
CONDITIONS, THE BRAKE PEDALS SHOULD BE
LOCKED TOGETHER TO PROVIDE THE MOST
EFFECTIVE BRAKING ACTION.
