Cutting Operation
Warning
Do NOT start to move or stop the machine
abruptly.
To do so is very dangerous. In addition, it
may damage the hydraulic system or result in
oil leakage.
Caution
Cutting work must be performed at an
appropriate speed for the site and location.
When cutting bumpy surfaces, keep the
engine rpm steady, and slow down the cutting
speed.
Caution
Reel rotation will be turned on or off based on
the sensor-detected position of the mower
units.
Please note that if you stop operating the reel
up/down lever before the mower units are
raised completely, reel rotation may not stop.
Start the engine.
（
(See "Procedure to Start
Engine" (Page 4-17) .)
Raise all mower units, and set the anti-falling
stop valves to the "Stop" position.
Depress the brake pedal, and while pressing
the push button, return the parking brake
lever to its resting position.
Shift the throttle lever to "High", and rev up
the engine to MAX (3,100 rpm).
Right before starting cutting work, set the
stop valve to the "Open" position, and then
release the mower lock levers.
Shift the reel up/down lever to the "DOWN"
position to lower the mower units.
Shift the reel rotation lever to "FORWARD"
to rotate the reel cutters (cutting cylinders)
for all mower units in cutting (positive)
motion.
Depress the traveling pedal to start cutting
work.
Note:
During the work, the reel cutters (cutting
cylinders) will rotate or stop in sync with the up
and down motion of the mower units.
