The amount of grass to be cut determines the forward speed; low speed usually gives the best
result. Make sure that you follow these procedures. Normal speed 1 km / h at heavy work, 8
km / h at very light work. Do not exceed the maximum driving speed 8km / h when driving
Start with the lowest possible speed, ensure that the mower is working effectively with the
engine at maximum speed without effort. (If this is not possible due to very tough mowing
conditions, raise the cutting rate and cut the same surface twice, the second time with a lower
cutting level, leave at least 24 hours between the first and second cut so that the grass can
dry out.)
Increase forward speed until the engine begins to run slowly and heavily, then immediately
decrease and hold a speed where the engine runs easily. It is important to always listen to the
engine to ensure that the engine and cutter works effectively, slow down or stop if the engine
starts to move heavily.
IMPORTANT!
When doing normal work and then change to heavier work, it is common that
the engine starts going heavy and reduces speed.
IF THIS OCCURS SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATELY
so that the engine will get normal speed and
velocity. Follow the instructions above with normal speed. Expected speed is much lower for
hard work.
FAILURE OF FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS
will result in the power transfer slips and
cause serious damage to clutch and drive belts.
TURNING OFF THE ENGINE
When the mower is turned off after hard work. Allow the engine to idle in a stationary position
for at least 4 minutes, for the drive belts to be cooled down.
1. Use precaution against hot parts such as exhaust, belts, etc. after the engine is switched
off.
2. Ensure that the mower’s drawbar is adjusted so that it is pulled directly behind the tractor
and that it is not in an odd position.When the mower has cooled down (minimum. One
hour after the last use).
3. Ensure that there is no grass left on the engine cooling fins, power transmission belts and
rotor before using the mower again.
AFTER USE
•
Parking may not be made with the equipment suspending, but is done with the equip-
