Starting the engine
After ensuring all daily checks have been undertaken (see above),
and with the engine throttle on idle setting start the engine by
turning the ignition key. Depending on the ambient temperature
and engine temperature, choke may be required. Once the engine
is running and choke off, engage drive by increasing the engine
throttle to maximum.
WARNING
Changing the drawbar angle must be undertaken with the engine switched off and the ignition keys removed.
Failure to do so could result in injury or damage to the machine.

Starting work
After ensuring all daily checks have been undertaken (see above), and with the engine throttle on idle setting start
the engine by turning the ignition key. Depending on the ambient temperature and engine temperature, choke may
be required. Once the engine is running and choke off, engage drive by increasing the engine throttle to maximum.
WARNING
As the FA Series use a centrifugal clutch drive system, the engine must be run at maximum speed AT ALL TIMES when
cutting.
The forward working speed will depend greatly on the working conditions and nature of the material being cut.
Optimal speed will be in the region of 3-8 km/h (2-5 mph).
