3 - OPERATION
The Cyclone Super-Flex represents the most advanced proposal for reducing labor cost
without sacrificing quality of cut. The high cutting speed of 8-10 mph along with the wide
working widths of up to 20’, allows for a reduction in man-hours and lower fuel cost for
the maintenance of large grass areas such as sport fields, parks, golf courses and sod
farms.
The Cyclone Super-Flex consists of a frame-carrier, mechanically connecting a trio of
C50 rear discharge grooming mowers. The Cyclone Super-Flex can be used on tractors
with horsepower ranging from 35 to 80. The tractor
PTO
is connected, through a wide
angle driveline, to a 4 way splitter gearbox. The side and rear output shafts transfer
power to the individual speed multiplier gearboxes on each mower.
The 12’ model consists of two 4’ wing units and one 5’ rear unit, the 15’ model consists
of two 5’ wing units and one 6’ rear unit, the 17’ model consists of three 6’ decks and
the 20’ model consists of three 7’ decks.
Each individual mower works completely independent from the others. They are
connected to the frame by floating arms. All mowers have four wheels allowing free
floating over uneven terrain. Even over rolling ground, the cut is accurate and uniform.
After mowing, during transport and for storage or maintenance, all three mowers can be
raised up hydraulically to a vertical position. During transport or maintenance
operations, it is imperative to be sure the wing mowers are locked in place with the
automatic locking system. To transport over extended distances, the wings should be
locked in their 90 degree vertical position with the transport locks and the metal
transport braces added to the two wing units for added safety. The two transport wheels
allow the Cyclone Flex mower, in its closed and locked position, to be transported safely
on lawns or private roads. The tires are not suitable for extended road travel.
The decks can be raised for easy cleaning and quick blade changes. Top grease fittings
make the greasing of hubs and spindles simple and quick.
3.01 - Operational Safety
CAUTION: Our mowers are designed considering safety as the most important
aspect and are the safest available in today’s market. Unfortunately, human
carelessness can override the safety features built into our machines. Injury
prevention and work safety, aside from the features on our mowers, are very
much due to the responsible use of the equipment. It must always be operated
prudently following with great care, the safety instructions laid out in this manual.
