Fig. 8, the drive is disconnected and it should
always be in this position when stopping the
machine.
With the engine running, the Cylinder Drive may
be engaged by lifting up the lever ‘
G ’ slowly until
it locks in position, Fig. 9 when all cylinders will
then be revolving.
Do not engage the Cylinder Drive when the
mower units are in the transport position.
SPEED CONTROL
Forward or reverse speed control is achieved by
operating the Drive Pedal ‘
F ’, Fig. 6 on the right
hand footwell. The pedal operates a heavy-duty
hydrostatic gearbox to give a smooth and
progressive speed change. The further the pedal
is depressed the faster the machine travels.
Do not make rapid changes from forward to
reverse as it could effect the machine’s stability.
Always disengage the Cylinder Drive (lever) ‘
G ’
when in the transport position.
Always lift all cylinders before travelling.
THROTTLE CONTROL
The Throttle Control ‘ I ’, Figs. 5 & 6 is a combined
choke and engine speed control housed in one
unit. The lever should be placed in the relevant
position for the function required.
BRAKE AND PARKING BRAKE
When stopping the engine, raise the Parking
Brake ‘
H ’, Fig. 5 and lock it on the lift latch plate.
To release the Parking Brake ‘ H ’, Fig. 6 lift it over
the latch and allow it to lower.
The Parking Brake should always be engaged
whenever the machine is stopped or left
unattended.
LIFTING & LOWERING MOWER UNITS
Ensure that all the cylinders are disengaged, the
Drive Pedal ‘
F ’ is in neutral, the Parking Brake ‘ H ’
is ON in the ‘Engaged’ position and the engine is
switched OFF at ‘
