Rotary Cutter Tire And Wheels - Schulte FLX-1510 Operator's Manual

Before transporting the tractor, Flex-Arm, and
mower, idle the tractor engine, disengage the PTO.
Fully retract the Flex-Arm cylinder and ease the
cutter out of the ditch as the tractor continues
forward. WIth the implement on a level surface, and
all moving parts are at a complete stop raise the
cutter into transport position. Insert the transport
pins in the cylinder guard on the flex arm and in
wings of cutter. When transporting, only raise the
center deck enough to clear ground obstacles to
prevent tipping, especially when traveling through
rough terrain. If the tractor's hydraulic pump is not
independent of the tractor PTO, or if the tractor
PTO has to be run to have hydraulic power,
disconnect the mower driveline from the tractor
PTO output shaft. Secure the driveline to the
mower deck to prevent driveline damage or loss
during transport. OPS-FLX-0015
Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway
or boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake
pedals should be locked together.
pedals ensures that
simultaneously while stopping, especially when
making an emergency stop.
Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications of
the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at road
speeds. Never tow the implement at speeds
greater than 20 MPH (32 kph). OPS-U- 0018

14.1 Rotary Cutter Tire and Wheels

Laminated Sectional Tires are designed for conditions where puncture proof performance is required and
the mower will not be transported for long distances on roadways. Transport speed for laminated tires should
not exceed 20 MPH. Excessive speed can cause damage to the machine and tire sections. Sectional tires
must be installed such that the rubber segments lay with the ground.
Foam Filled used Airplane Tires are ideal for conditions where a puncture proof tire is needed and the
mower is frequently transported between locations.
Pneumatic Tires (used airplane or Implement tires) are ideal for frequent long distance towing. However,
they are not puncture proof and are not recommended for mowing brushy areas or other conditions that could
damage the tires. Maximum airplane tire inflation pressure is 50 PSI, minimum inflation pressure is 40 PSI.
Inflate ribbed implement tires to manufacturer rated PSI as shown on the tire sidewall. DO NOT over inflate.
Torque the wheel bolts to a 110 ft-lbs minimum and 140 ft-lbs maximum. Torque all bolts in a star pattern.
