ARM 1 OUT/IN Switches

“ARM 1 OUT/IN” push button switches extends and

retracts the inboard parallel arm. Deck pivot angle

remains unchanged while operating these two switches.

“ARM 1” push button switches are always functional and

will operate with Float Switch turned “ON” or “OFF”.

1. Press and hold “ARM 1 OUT” push button to extend

inboard arm. Release switch to stop movement.

2. Press and hold “ARM 1 IN” push button to retract

inboard arm. Release switch to stop arm movement.

Float ON/OFF Switch

The control stick will be equipped with a Float Switch and

LED light only if the cutter deck is equipped with gauge

wheels.

Press and release the Float Switch to turn float function

“ON”. Press and release the switch again to turn float

function “OFF”. Toggling the switch back and forth in this

fashion will turn float function “ON” & “OFF” repetitively.

LED light illuminates only when the Float Switch is “ON”.

Float Switch Turned ON:

When “ON”, the Float Switch allows the deck to be

carried on the gauge wheels. “Deck UP/DOWN” and

“ARM 2 OUT/IN” push button switches are bypassed

allowing deck position to change with the terrain.

“ARM 1” push button switches are not bypassed.

Therefore, “ARM 1 IN” switch can be pressed to move

deck closer and to raise parallel arms for clearing

objects. “ARM 2 OUT” switch can be pressed to move

deck farther away from tractor.

The deck can be raised with “ARM 2 OUT” push button

switch or pivoted up with “DECK UP” push button switch

but neither switch will hold the deck to this changed

position. Instead, the deck will fall onto the gauge wheels

as soon as the push button is released.

Float Switch Turned OFF:

The Float Switch, when “OFF”, allows the operator to

control all six momentary push button switches

individually (ARM 1, ARM 2 & Deck).

Turn Float Switch “OFF”:

1. When transporting the cutter.

2. When crossing ditches that will cause the deck to

become high centered or gauge wheels to catch

stopping forward travel.

3. When encountering raised areas such as banks,

stumps, rocks or other protrusions that the gauge

wheels cannot and/or should not roll over.

4. When the operator wants full control of cutter deck

and parallel arms.

Operational Checks

Transport Safety Chain

Refer to Figure 1-15 & Figure 1-16:

WARNING

Transport safety chain must remain hooked to the deck until

ready to extend parallel arms and deck cylinder. Float Switch

must always be “OFF” until deck has been lowered to ground

level.

The transport safety chain should always be hooked to

the deck hook when cutter is folded up. Otherwise, the

operating levers and/or push button switches could be

bumped or hoses could burst allowing deck to fall and

cause damage to cutter, tractor, and anyone nearby.

Before unhooking the transport safety chain, make sure

the arm and deck cylinders are retracted and if available,

the Float Switch is set to “OFF”. Do not force safety chain

off of the deck hook. If safety chain does not remove

easily, investigate the problem and correct before

continuing. Once unhooked, store safety chain on

storage hook for safe keeping.
