OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
cont.
BEFORE STARTING/STOPPING:
See Engine Maintenance/Instruction
Sheet.
STARTING ENGINE
When starting engine, place right heel on
foot switch located on rear of right
footrest. Ensure that PTO switch is
disengaged (off), otherwise electric starter
motor will not engage.
Cold Start: Move engine speed/choke
control to choke position (combination
control).
Alternatively move engine speed
control to full speed, and engage
choke (separate controls)
Hot Start : Set the engine speed to the
fast position. Engine will usually start
without the requirement for the choke
to be engaged.
For full details on engine starting in all
conditions, refer to the engine owner’s
manual.
STOPPING ENGINE
When stopping the engine, ensure the
PTO switch is disengaged (off), and the
engine speed control is in the slow (idle)
position, set park brake in the on position,
turn key switch to the “off” (1
st
) position.
DRIVING
TO DRIVE FORWARD/REVERSE:
Engine speed is regulated by the engine
speed control, set engine speed control to
desired engine speed. Press down on
the forward section of the drive pedal for
forward movement, on the rear of the
drive pedal for reverse. The amount of
pressure can be used to control the
ground speed, especially in heavier
conditions.
MANOEUVRING:
Owing to the heel and toe type action of
the drive pedal, it is possible to take the
machine straight from forward to reverse
and vice versa. This quick forward and
reverse operation makes the machine
very manoeuvrable and the sharpest
turns can be negotiated easily and
quickly.
LOCKING THE DIFFERENTIAL
(DELUXE MODELS ONLY)
The differential can be locked for
improved traction. The differential should
be locked when:
Travelling over difficult terrain, such as
wet, uneven, and/or slippery surfaces.
Travelling on slopes
Using any attachment, such as the dozer
blade, or towing.
UNLOCKING THE DIFFERENTIAL
(DELUXE MODELS ONLY)
The differential can be unlocked for
improved steering and reduced wheel
scuffing.
TO BRAKE (WITH ENGINE RUNNING):
The drive pedal may be used to stop the
machine. If travelling forward push the
pedal into reverse until machine stops,
then bring the pedal back to neutral
position or vice versa if travelling in
reverse. Should a drive failure occur
during operation use the brake pedal
situated on the left hand side and forward
of where your foot would rest during
normal operation.
TO BRAKE (WITH ENGINE STOPPED):
Use foot brake pedal only.
PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION
BRAKE:
With the machine stationary, pull the lever
protruding out of the left hand mudguard
fully up to engage the park brake. Shift
down fully to disengage the park brake.
Do not engage parking brake unless the
machine has completely stopped.
Do not attempt to drive with park brake
engaged, damage will occur to large drive
sprocket, or park brake mechanism.
NOTE: When mowing slopes, keep
drive pedal in forward or reverse,
depending on direction of travel. The
low gearing will prevent it from picking
up excessive speed. If slope is very
steep it may be necessary to slow
engine speed slightly and /or, apply
light drive pedal pressure to the
opposite drive direction. i.e. move
drive pedal into reverse when going
forward down slope or into forward
when reversing down slope.
AVOID HOLDING MACHINE
STATIONARY ON SLOPES USING
DRIVE PEDAL WITH ENGINE
RUNNING FOR PROLONGED
PERIODS, AS EXCESS WEAR WILL
OCCUR TO DRIVE DISC FRICTION
SURFACE AND OR DRIVE PULLEY
FRICTION SURFACE.
Mowing Attachment Cutting
Height Adjustment Lever-
Used to change the mowing attachment
cutting height. To alter cutting height, lift
lever slightly and depress button, move
lever up to raise or down to lower the
mowing attachment cut height, stop at
desired cutting height and release button
to lock at 1 of 10 height positions.
NOTE– Do Not mow in any direction
on slopes beyond 15 degrees (1 in
3.75).
Fuel Tap Knob-
Used to shut off the fuel line to stop fuel
flow to the engine, when the tractor is
transported or not in operation. This is to
reduce the likelihood of fuel leakage.
Before starting fully turn the knob clock-
wise to the on position to allow fuel to
flow. Turn anti-clockwise to the off posi-
tion to shut off the fuel line (to stop fuel
flowing to the engine).
Oil Level Dipstick-
Refer to engine owners manual for in-
structions on checking engine oil level.
