Adjusting The Mower To Operational Position - Tar River BDR-135 Operator's Manual

Adjusting the Mower to the Operational Position
Reposition the mower from the transport position to the operating position prior to starting the operation. In order to
do that, the following must be done:

Place the unit (the mower and the tractor) on an even, horizontal surface.

Move the ball valve lever to the open position in the mowers with the hydraulic cylinder ( it stays in that position
throughout the entire time of the mowers operation), and then move the mower to the horizontal position. Be
extra careful when lowering the mower from the vertical position to the horizontal position. Pay attention to the
space available for the operation.

In the mower with the push rods system, the gear should be moved to the upper position (Position 4 in the draw-
ing below), and then lower the mower to just above the ground.

Stand behind the machine (shown in the top drawing on the following page in the X spot) and pull the line caus-
ing the latch to slide out (Position 1 in the bottom drawing on the following page) from the opening (Position 3),
take the mower by the cutting system's cover and turn it to the operating position.

Put the fuse in (Position 1) the upper suspension frame pin (Position 2) and secure it with a cotter (Position 3).
Proper positioning of the mower in the operating position ensures a safe and high quality and efficiency operation.
The PTO shaft may be connected to the tractor only during the time of the mower's operation, but
during transport or maintenance works it should be disassembled.
