PRO LIFT-N-TURN
TM
OPERATION
The industry exclusive Pro Lift-N-Turn™ system found on
certain Progressive Turf Equipment models offers a real
productivity advantage and it is a feature not offered on
competitive mowers.
With the Pro Lift-N-Turn™ system, Operators have the
ability to raise the decks slightly off the ground with the
PTO still engaged. This makes turns at the end of the pass
easier and less stressful on both the turf and the equipment.
The operator simply has to move the hydraulic control to
raise the decks while turning, and lower the decks to resume
mowing, and engage the float for the hydraulic port in use.
As with any mechanical system, the Pro Lift-N-Turn™
system needs to be used and maintained properly. With
only a few moving parts, this is a simple task.
 In a safe level location, fully lower the decks to the
ground, shut the tractor engine off, and set the parking
brake.
 With the lock rope released, all three latch plates should
lay flat against the wing frames.
 Check each of the three latch plates and make sure they do not bind when the
lock release rope is pulled or released.
 Ensure that the latch plate, cables and springs are in good condition.
 Check to see if the centre lock swivel is free to rotate without binding and returns
to a neutral position so that the cables have slack when the latch plates are lying
flat against the wing frame.
 If any binding or damage is found, repair the issue before using the Pro Lift-N-
Turn™ system.
It is advisable to instruct all Operators to check the operation of the Pro Lift-N-
Turn™ system prior to the start of each shift. Operators should be advised that upon
arriving at the work site and lowering the decks, the Operator should ensure that
each latch plate is in the fully lowered (flat) position before starting to mow.
