Operating Instructions, Controls
Cutter On/Off Switch
(Fig. 10)
The cutter switch controls the electromagnetic blade
clutch. To switch the cutter on, push the switch
and then release it, this will engage the cutter deck.
To stop the cutter deck, push the switch again.
Although the cutter deck is automatically switched
off when the engine is stopped or when the operator
gets off the seat, it is not good practice to rely on
these features, the cutter deck should always be
switched OFF as soon as you have finished cutting
and certainly BEFORE stopping the engine or getting
off the tractor. The cutter will only work whilst the
operator is sat on the seat.
NOTE: The headlights will flash whilst the cutter
deck is running if they are not being used. If the
headlights are in use they will not flash but function
as normal. Deck symbols rotate when the deck is in
use.
Manual Deck Lift
(Fig. 11)
The tractor comes with manual deck lift. To operate,
simply push the trigger in until the weight of the
deck can be felt and pull back to the desired cutting
height (numbered 1-9). To lower, hold the trigger in
and push forward. Exercise caution when operating
lift lever.
Service Message
(Fig. 12)
Your tractor is fitted with an hour meter to assist you
in adhering to the recommended service intervals.
The hour meter only operates whilst the engine is
actually running. The number of hours left to your
next service will show when the start button is
pressed. A flashing “
S ” will be displayed once the
service interval has expired. The first service is due
after 50 hours; thereafter the service interval is 100
hours.
NOTE: 50 hours of mowing at 5mph equates to 250
miles of grass cutting.
Low Fuel Warning
“ Fuel Low ” will be displayed alternating with the
engine speed, as a warning to re-fuel.
If the fuel tank is empty the engine should be primed
manuallly after re-fuelling. Please refer to the engine
manufacturer’s manual.
