Transport Position; Operating Position - Schulte GX-130 Operator's Manual

9.4 Transport Position

To raise mower wings, drive the unit to a level area and retract the wing hydraulic cylinders. DO NOT raise
wings with the mower positioned on an embankment or other inclined position to prevent overturning the
mower.
The center of gravity is raised and the mower is more prone to tipping when the wings are in the raised
position. When transporting, raise the center section high enough to clear ground obstacles.
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. Never fold wings on a hillside...the Implement or unit
may overturn.

9.5 Operating Position

To lower the wings, extend wing hydraulic cylinders
and fully lower wings.
The valves operating wing cylinders should be
placed in the float position while mowing to allow
the mower to follow the contour of uneven terrain
and to prevent the wings from creeping up. When
extending a wing over a ditch for mowing, place the
control valve lever detents in the center position.
This will give the mower more stability and prevent
the opposite wing from raising. DO NOT operate
the mower with the valves in the detent position for
extended periods of time to prevent deck frame
damage. OPS-R-0017_L str
