GROUND DRIVE
Ground wheel drive can be engaged or disengaged by
pulling upwards on the stem-lock plunger ’B’ and
moving the lever ’A’ forward to engage the Ground
drive or rearward to disengage. When the ground
Drive Clutch Lever is in the rearward neutral position
the wheels are free to turn for wheeling or manoeu-
vring the machine. The ground drive is set inde-
pendently of the cutter drive.
DEPTH OF CUT
Tilt the machine forward to clear the blade from the
ground when adjusting the depth of cut.
Loosen the depth clamp lever ’A’ by turning it in a
clockwise direction. Turn the depth crank lever ’B’
clockwise to reduce the cutting depth, and anticlock-
wise to increase it. The cutting depth is indicated by
the scale ’C’ (inset picture) When the desired depth
is set , re-clamp the depth clamp lever ’A’ firmly.
ENGAGE AND DIS-ENGAGE CUTTER DRIVE
To disengage the cutter drive push the lever ‘A’ for-
ward until it locks into the neutral position ‘B’.
When
engaging the cutter drive ensure the engine is idling
and pull the lever back to release it from the locked
neutral position.
Pull the throttle lever gently to enable
the blade clutch to fully engage drive before in-
creasing the power.
BLADE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Tilt the machine forward unto it’s nose to clear
the cutter blade from the ground.
Slacken the
four blade angle clamp bolts ’A’ and turn nut ‘B’ to
set the blade angle pointer ’C’ to the required blade
angle on scale ’D’. Adjust the blade angle to achieve
the best traction and cut quality. As a rule of thumb,
moving the pointer ‘C’ back towards number one on
the scale is best for shallow fine cutting and forward
towards number five increases the blade angle and
moves the blade away from the blade wheel opening
the throat for deeper cutting in the rough. For Mole-
draining and De-compacting adjust the blade angle
to six coinciding with the Mole-drain and De-
compaction blade symbols on the scale.
Re-tighten
the four clamp bolts ‘A’ firmly before operating
