6.2.5 MOWING MECHANISM HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Shift the mowing mechanism height adjustment lever
6.1.17
upwards if you want to set up the mowing mechanism higher above the ground, or shift the
lever downwards if you want to set up the mowing mechanism closer to the ground. Position "
1
" is used to follow terrain unevenness. Do not use this
height adjustmentpermanently as there is danger of increased wear of mowing mechanism componentss. The mowing mechanism is equipped with 4
traversing wheels which lift the frame with mowing mechanism in case of terrain unevenness and thus they serve as protection of the mowing blades
against damage. If you want to lower the controlling force of the mowing system (type AG122)
change the mount of the auxiliary spring to the left side (see pic.).
This setting is applied to all machines by the manufacturer.
6.3 TRAVEL
Before the onsetof travelling, step on the brake pedal
6.1.12
to make sure that the parking brake is disengaged. The parking brake lever
6.1.13
must not remain
in position "
B
"! The by-pass lever
6.1.15
must be set in position "
1
", i.e. the by-pass of travel must be disengaged. When travelling to the place where mow-
ing is to be carried out, the mowing mechanism must be switched off and lifted to the highest position, i.e. the lever of the mowing mechanism height adjust-
ment must be in position "
7
." When crossing obstacles higher than 8 cm (curbs, etc.) it is necessary to use ramps in order to prevent damage to the mow-
ing mechanism and gearbox.
Perform the drive in the following way:
•
Decrease the speed of the engine by shifting the gas control lever
6.1.3
to the "
MIN
" position.
•
When getting started, step on travel pedal
6.1.14
slowly in accordance with the desired direction of the drive - abruptly stepping down on the pedal
increases thedanger of injury.
•
Change in drive direction from forward to backward or vice versa is only possible once the machine has stopped. If the machine has not stopped there isdan-
ger of gearbox failure.
•
Never use the travel pedal and brake pedal simultaneously - otherwise there is danger of gearbox failure.
6.4
TRAVEL SPEED AND GRASS MOWING
Set the gas control lever
6.1.3
to the "
MAX
“ position. Adjust the mowing mechanism height using lever
6.1.17
(see section
6.2.5
). There is a generally accept-
ed rule that thewetter, higher and denser grass is the lower the speed to be used is. If the speed of the machine is too high, or in the case of a heavy load,
the turning speed of knives decreases, the quality of mowing goes down and the discharge tunnel may become clogged. In such conditions, always set the
motor rpm to maximum. If the grass is too high, the mowing should be done several times. The first cut in the maximum height, or with reduced width of
mowing, and the next cut in the required height. We recommend mowing in the lengthwise as well as crosswise direction. Machine overlapping of thepre-
ceding cut enables an increase in the efficiency of knives, and also the look of the mowed area will be improved. Driving on an uneven surface may result in
the variation of speed. With respect to the conditions, we recommend the following speeds:
6.5 TRAVEL ON A SLOPE
This mowing machine may operate on slopes with a gradient of up to
10° (17%)
. When working on a slope always use a lower speed of travel. Only travel
vertically to the contour line, i.e. upwards and downwards.
Travel along the contour line is not permitted. Control the speed of travelling using the gear change
lever. Travel downhill and across the obstacles at lower speed.
Changing directions and turning around on a slope requires increased caution. When stopping
the machine on a slope, always use the parking brake. When the machine is being overloaded on slopes with a gradient greater than 10° (17%), it may result
in serious damage to the gearbox. The machine manufacturer does not bear any responsibility for a defect resulting from such use of the machine.
6.6 DISCHARGING OF GRASS COLLECTION BIN
•
Stop, apply the brake, and use the parking brake if you are on a slope.
•
Switch off the mowing mechanism by the toggle switch
6.1.1
. If the AUT/MAN switch is installed in the machine, leave this switch in the "
AUT
" position.
•
Set the gas control lever
6.1.3
to the "
MIN
" position.
•
For machines equipped with manual lifting and lowering of the grass bin
, shift the lifting lever
18
up fully (see section 4.2.6), and then use this lever to
tilt the bin. Leave the bin to discharge freely, release it gradually and return it to the initial position.
•
For machines equipped with a device for mechanical lifting and lowering of the grass bin
, press the switch to
the "
LIFTING
" position and keep it pressed until the bin is entirely tilted. After the desired position is
reached, release the switch and wait until the bin is discharged. Then switch the switch to the "
LOWERING
"
position and keep it pressed until the bin is entirely lowered. Once the initial position is reached, release the
switch.
•
After lowering the bin into the initial position, switch on the mowing mechanism using the toggle switch
6.1.1
. If the machine is equipped with the
RESET
switch (
6.1.10
), press this switch to activate the mowing
mechanism.
•
The level of basket fullness is signalized by the flap (see pic.). Shift the moveable part of the flap to increase
or decrease the arm length to change the level of basket filling. This is primarily appreciated by persons with
a weaker physique. (The moveable part inserted = maximum level of basket filling and vice versa).
Vegetation condition
Recommended speed
high, dense and wet
2 km/hour
average conditions
3 – 5 km/hour
low, dry vegetation
< 5 km/hour
travel with disengaged mowing mechanism
< 7 km/hour
WARNING !!!
Stopping the machine is only possible by gradually releasing the foot from the travel pedal and then by stepping on the brake pedal. When stepping
on the brake pedal, the travel pedal is automatically moved into neutral position. Upon this, the braking distance is shorter than 2 m. Avoid hard impacts
to the front wheels (hard obstacles etc.). You may damage the front axle, primarily if the impact happens at highspeed!
