ON / OFF SWITCH (Mounted on the Engine)
This switch stops the engine and can be used to do so at anytime during the operation of the machine. Ensure it is in the
“ON”
position before attempting to start the engine.
THROTTLE CONTROL (Item 4)
This controls the RPM of the engine and the resultant speed of the machine. Pushing the lever forwards will increase the
RPM, pulling it back returns the engine to idle.
CLUTCH (Drive Control)
This controls the machines movment. Pulling the lever towards the handle will engage the belt drive and cause the Reel
to rotate, driving the machine forwards
SEEDER CONTROL (Item 13)
For the seeder to operate it must be in the down
position (wheels in contact with ground) see diagram.
To achieve this, release the latches on both sides
(item 1). The seeder box is now free to float,
following the contours on the ground.
The quantity of seed delivered can be varied using
the control on the seeder box handle. By sliding the
control to the right and twisting it forwards /
backwards it can be locked in any of 9 positions to
give the required amount of seed.
When seeding is complete, simply push down on the
handle bars causing the machine to lean backwards and latching onto the seed box. Return the machine to the upright
position and the seed box will raise off the ground.
