VECHILE MODES
The
MT503
machine transmission operates
in one of three selectable modes. In each
mode the maximum vehicle speed and
maximum engine throttle settings are
predefined in the settings menu. Maximum
defined Transport speed is available when
Cutters are switched off. When Cutters are
switched on only the predefined Mowing
speed is achievable.
•
Manual Mode (M)
– In this mode the
operator remains manually in control of the
vehicles forward / reverse speeds and the
engine throttle by operating the foot pedal
and the throttle control rotary switch. The
cutters can be started whilst in this mode.
•
Automatic Mode (A)
– In this mode the
vehicle has additional automated control
functions which can control and maintain
vehicle speeds and throttle settings without
further input from the operator. The Maxi
-
mum defined speeds cannot be exceeded in
this mode but the vehicle may reduce trans
-
mission speeds for optimal grass cutting
performance. The following drive features
are available in Automatic mode:
• Cruise
• AdaptiCut
• Auto Idle
• Creep
( ) The vehicle transmission
speed is limited to Creep & the cutters can
-
not be started.
The mode selection is possible via
Button 1
on the display from the Home screen.
Note:
it is possible to disable the ability to
select Manual mode and therefore
encourage the user to use Auto mode. This
can be achieved via the display as follows:
CRUISE CONTROL
When Cruise is active the machine will
maintain the forward transmission speed
that it was traveling at when Cruise was
engaged.
Note:
that Cruise is only possible when the
machine is set to Automatic (A) transmission
mode and Mow speed (the Cutter Switch is on).
To engage Cruise:
•
Select Automatic mode using
Button 1
on the display.
•
Turn the Cutter Switch (PTO) to on and
lower units as necessary.
