4.11. Design and operation of safety breakaway device

Hydraulic safety breakaway device protects mower against hitting small obstacles. In the event
the mower hits an immovable obstacle, the cutterbar folds back about 30 degrees and at the same
time rises about 2' 4". After that, the cutterbar automatically comes back to its working position.
Hydraulic safety breakaway device is used for tilting to the back and lifting of the cutting unit.
