To transport over extended distances, the wing units should be secured in place with
the transport brace provided
(see #13, fig. 13)
. This will keep the wing units in a vertical
position and cut down dramatically on the transport width.
The transport tires are not for highway use. Transportation for other than a very short
distance should be done with a trailer. When transporting the Flex mower, maintain a
safe speed and slow down when approaching turns.
4.08 - Storage
CAUTION: Following operation, or when unhooking, stop the tractor, set the
brakes, disengage the PTO, shut off the engine and remove the ignition key. Store
the unit in an area away from human activity. Do not permit children to play on or
around the stored unit. Make sure all parked machines are on a hard, level
surface and engage all safety devices.
After seasonal use it is important to perform the following for prolonged storage:
1. Raise the mowers and lock them in place with the hooks and if possible the transport
braces.
2. Wash the mower carefully.
3. Inspect the mower and replace worn or damaged parts.
4. Tighten all hardware.
5. Grease all areas indicated under Maintenance.
6. Touch up scratches by sanding the area and applying a light coat of primer and paint
to prevent rust from forming.
7. Loosen the belts if the mower is to be stored for an extended length of time.
8. Cover the mower from the elements in order to have it in perfect condition for the
start of the next season.
9. Make sure all parked machines are on a hard, level surface, and engage all safety
devices.
10. Do not permit children to play on or around the stored unit.
