10.10 DRIVING THE MACHINE
The machine movement is controlled by
joystick (8) (forward and reverse) (see the
symbol under the joystick on the remote
radio controller) and by joystick (9) (Left/
right). By combining these two controls you
will be able to control the machine.
When these joysticks are moved, the
machine both accelerates and steers.
Accelerate slowly so as to be
able to react to the direction in
which the mower starts to
move. The V shaped tread
pattern on the tyres denotes the direction
the machine will move when forward
motion is selected
.
When driving, slowly move the joystick in the
desired forward or reverse direction.
When changing the forward motion to
reverse motion and the other way around,
always leave the joystick for a short moment
in the neutral position
When driving the mower,
always set the maximum
engine speed. Driving with
any lower engine speed is
prohibited.
In cold weather let the engine run for about
2 minutes to allow the oil to get warm
before driving.
.
10.11 DRIVING SPEED OF THE
MOWER
Always choose a suitable driving speed,
which enables an acceptable mowing
quality. When selecting speed, always start
with slow and proceed to fast, not the other
way around. If the growth is thin, you may
mow at higher speed.
To control the driving speed, you can also
use the driving speed controller (2), which
lets you choose between high (rabbit) and
low (turtle) driving speeds. When starting to
operate, always use the low (turtle) speed
range. Also choose the low-speed range
when mowing either slopes steeper than 20
degrees or an uneven terrain.
Never reduce the driving
speed by reducing the engine
speed! Always use joystick
(8) to reduce the speed.
Higher speed range: 0-8 km h
1
/ 0-5 mph
Lower speed range: 0-3 km h
1
/ 0-2 mph
