R R R Rotor Control Operation otor Control Operation otor Control Operation otor Control Operation
The rotor control lever operates the rotor ‘on’ and ‘off’ function for both uphill and downhill
cutting - the specific cutting direction is dictated by the position of the locking latch on the
front of the cable control head unit, with the latch in the vertical position the lever can be
moved from its centre ‘off’ position to the forwards ‘on’ position for uphill cutting direction.
With the latch in the horizontal position the lever can be moved from its centre ‘off’
position to the backwards ‘on’ position for downhill cutting direction. The rotor is off when
the control lever is in the central position – see illustration below.
