Operation Section 3-29

The twisting motion of the Joystick, actuates the SWING cylinder.

Twisting the Joystick Counterclockwise admits hydraulic fluid to the Butt End of the SWING cylinder, causing
the boom to swing out to the right side of the tractor.  (See Diagrams above)

When the Joystick is Released, the valve will automatically return to center, and the boom will be LOCKED in
the current position.

Twisting the Joystick Clockwise admits hydraulic fluid to the rod end of the cylinder causing the boom to swing
back toward the rear of the tractor.  If the Joystick is continually held in this position pull in , the boom will
continue to the left side of the tractor.

Again, if the Joystick is released, the valve will automatically return to center and the boom will be LOCKED in
the current position.

BOOM SAFETY VALVE - If a rigid object  (guard rail post, tree, etc.) is struck by the extended boom while the
tractor is moving forward, the boom safety valve will allow the boom to swing rearward, and minimize the
possibility of damage.

NOTICE:  This device will NOT work if the unit is mowing BACKWARDS and the boom is in the full forward
position. Mower heads are not designed to cut in reverse.  OPS-B- 0032

Make certain that the Boom swing path is clear of bystanders, powerlines, and obstructions
to prevent injury, electrocution, and possible machine damage.  Swing Boom SLOWLY
AND CAREFULLY.  Avoid sudden starting and stopping.   (Ops-0002-MISC)
