Tar River BDR-135 Operator's Manual page 11

Be careful while changing the mower's position from the transport position to the operating position and
the other way around.
It is prohibited to reposition the mower:

On an uneven surface and in a visible slope area.

When it is lifted high (as in the transport position), and when the suspension frame of the mower is not appropri-
ately level.

In the presence of bystanders within the mower's turning range.

Failure to comply with these recommendations may result in risks associated with rapid and automatic rotation of
the mower on the suspension. Such rotation may occur after the securing elements pull free (point 1 rivets, point
4 gears)
In order to change the position of the mower to the transport position, the following must be done:

Set the unit (the mower and the tractor) on an even and horizontal surface.

Lower the mower so the stump jumpers rest on the ground.

Disengage the PTO, the tractor's engine, and take out the key from the ignition and allow for the mower's ele-
ments to come to a complete stop.

Disassemble the PTO shaft.

Level the mower with the right lift arm brace so the suspension frame pins are on the same level above the
ground.

Remove the fuse (Position 5 in the drawing on the previous page) from the bottom suspension frame pin.

In the mowers with the push rod system (Position 4 in the drawing on the previous page) move the gear to the
lower position.

Lift the mower with the tractor's hydraulic lifting unit so the stump jumpers are just above the ground.

Lift the support (Position 2 in the drawing on the previous page) to the upper level and secure it with a cotter pin

Move the mower by hand all the way back along the tractor making sure that the king pin of the lock (Position 1
on the previous page) goes into the king pin opening (Position 3 on the previous page) with a loose line.

Lift the mower with the hydraulic system to the vertical position, and move the lever of the ball valve mounted
on the actuator into the locked position.
During the transport:
Lift the mower with the hydraulic lifting unit to the upper position to ensure the space between the stump jumper
of the cutting drum and the ground of at least 40cm, tighten the side chains of the tractor's bottom push rods so the
machine doesn't swing to the sides.
Always make sure that the ball valve is locked during transport.
Furthermore:

Check the securing elements

Install the warning plate with lights and the plate for slow-moving vehicles.

Pay attention to the mower overlap over the tractor during the turns or relapses.
