Operating the machine
The machine is controlled with joystick [1] for
driving forward and reversing. Joystick [2]
controls the machine’s turnings (please see the
symbols on the remote control).
Joystick [2] can be used without activating
joystick [1]; thereby the direction can be adjusted
(right or left), before joystick [1] is activated.
Always select a driving speed that gives a good mowing result. Always start driving slowly and
then increase the speed.
Warning
: Never drive so fast forwards that the motor revolution drops. This might cause the
motor to run warm and become overloaded and result in a breakdown.
With turning knob [3] the maximum forward speed is decided.
The speed is adjustable from 25 % to 100%, which corresponds to a forward speed between
1.5km/h and 6 km/h.
Warning
: During mowing, the speed must always be controlled with the joysticks or the speed
control knob. Never use the throttling to reduce the driving speed.
When driving on sloping ground it is recommended to drive 50% slower than maximum speed.
From 0-60 % the tracks will run in opposite directions when joystick [2]) is activated 100%.
From 60% to 100% one track will stop on full activation with joystick [2].
Should the machine turn somewhat to the right or left during the operation, this can be adjusted
though turning the trimming button [4]. Turn the button counter clockwise if the machine runs
towards the right side.
The position of the trim button depends on the forward speed of the machine. Start therefore by
adjusting the machine to the required forward speed. Then trim the straightforward drive.
When driving crosswise on slopes, the machine will try to steer down the hill. Adjusting with
the trimming button can counteract this.
The trimming button is not factory adjusted for straight driving, when the button is set to 0.
It is important always to start driving with the machine on a flat and level surface. The degree of
difficulty should not be increased until a good driving experience is reached.
The motor should always to run at maximum revolutions, when the mower is connected.
In cold weather the motor should run idle for 2 min. before driving in order for the oil in the
motor and the transmission to warm up.
