ROTOR OPERATION
DANGER - VERY IMPORTANT
It is very important that motor spool and motor spool control lever works in one
direction only - From centre (OFF) position to selected (ON) 'rotor cut' direction
position – permitting the rotor one direction of cut and the 'OFF' setting only.
This eliminates the chance of going from ‘cut-up’ to ‘cut-down’ in one movement
of controls and blowing the system. Only by altering LOCK-LEVER setting can
direction of control lever be changed.
WARNING!
DANGER
Never change direction of rotor cut whilst rotor is still turning.
DANGER
Always allow rotor to stop spinning completely before changing cut rotation direction.
Rotor 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.
WARNING! When switching off a rotor it will continue to ‘freewheel’ before
stopping - in some cases this can be up to 40 seconds or more. Never approach a
machine whilst the rotor is running.
