Do not put your hands and feet near the blade reel cylinder when it is rotating.
5-1 How to Operate
① Before starting the engine, check the following points.
・The change lever must be in the neutral position.
・The travelling clutch lever must be in the "OFF" position.
② Start the engine.
③ Pull the clutch levers of the right/left mowers and rear mower.
④ Slowly pull the travelling clutch lever in the same way as clutch-slipping.
◆ When the machine is started through the above operations, the blade reel
cylinders rotate and the mowing work starts.
5-2 Adjustment before Work
① Check the sharpness of the blade. The blade is sharp if newspaper can be
cut well.
② Try mowing to see if the mowing height of the three mowers is the same.
6. Method of Lapping
Lapping is intermediate finishing that is required temporarily before
resharpening the blade. Both blade reel cylinder and bottom blade are
simultaneously lapped by applying the abrasive while turning the blade reel
cylinder in the direction opposite to the mowing direction.
