Operating The Cutter Wings - Schulte FX-520 Operator's Manual

9.3 Operating the Cutter Wings

Each wing is raised and lowered by a single hydraulic cylinder. Ensure the hydraulic cylinder and hydraulic
lines are filled with oil by holding the valve control levers in the raised position until the cylinder fully retracts.
Only operate the cutter with both wings fully lowered, NEVER operate the cutter with a raised wing. Wait until
the blades are at a complete stop before raising wings.
When the Wings are folded for transport, the center of gravity is raised and the possibility of
overturn is increased. Drive slowly and use extreme caution when turning on hillsides.
Overturning the Implement could cause the Implement to overturn the Tractor and vice
versa resulting in serious injury or even death.
Implement or unit may overturn.
The valves operating wing cylinders should be
placed in the float position while mowing to allow
the cutter to follow the contour of uneven terrain
and to prevent the wings from creeping up.
Use extreme care when lowering or unfolding the implement's wings.
bystanders are close by or underneath the wings. Allow ample clearance around the
implement when folding or unfolding the wings. Use extreme caution around buildings or
overhead power lines.
