F-700H
When starting the engine, both of the control levers
7
and
10
Fig. 2 must be in the off position (must not be
depressed to the handles)!
1.4.2.1 Activating the blade
Ensure that all persons, children, and pets are located at a safe distance from the machine! If not, do not continue
in further activity!
Before every use, check that the screws that fasten the work tool and those of the protection elements, covers,
and engine are properly tightened!
1.
Start the engine
. Set the maximum engine RPMs using the throttle lever. (If the engine is cold, let it warm up for about 1
minute at maximum rpm.)
2.
Grasp the left handlebar with your left hand. On the blade drive lever (
10
), press the lock button in the direction of the
arrow (
) with the thumb of your right hand and press the control lever by smoothly moving the right hand.
Press the lever about two-thirds of the stroke slowly so that the work tool manages to engage without
stalling the engine.
3.
After the work tool has begun spinning, depress the lever fully and firmly hold it along with the handle.
The start-up of the blade is accompanied by a partial slippage of the V-belt and related accompanying
phenomena (rattling, whistling). After running in the belt, this phenomenon usually disappears.
Note:
If you switch on the blade drive again during mowing, the engine may shut down due to the high resistance of the cut grass in the blade
guard area. If possible, this area must always be cleaned when starting the blade drive.
A new or cold engine may occasionally stall when engaging the work tool drive the first few times. This will disappear after the engine
has warmed up. If the work tool drive cannot be engaged after the engine has warmed, check to see if any of the defects listed in
Table 8
are present.
1.4.2.2 Wheel drive
The
Hurricane F-700H
uses a hydrostatic gearbox, which, unlike its predecessor, allows a smooth adjustment of the travel speed. Move
the bypass lever on the gearbox to the
ON
position (
1
).
To switch on the drive, use the lever
7
on the left handle. Press the lever up to the handle and the machine will immediately
start moving forward. Simultaneously with pressing the lever and starting the machine, adjust the walking speed to the speed of the
machine.
●
Drive forward:
Pull the neutral lock collar to the ball and move the gearshift lever to the forward position
„F“
(between
positions
1
and
2
). Then push the upper red lever (
7
) on the left handlebar grip all the way to the handle and
the machine will start moving forward. At the same time as starting the machine, you must start walking in the appropriate direction
and speed of the machine.
Be prepared for the machine to start with a slight jerk.
Always adjust the travel speed to the height and density of the vegetation, the set cutting height and the working
width.
When starting at MAXimum speed, start at approx. ½ maximum engine speed. After starting the machine, set the
engine speed at which your walking speed will still be safe.
●
Reverse travel:
Pull the neutral lock collar to the ball and move the gearshift lever to the position
„R“
(
4
). Then push
the upper red lever (
7
) on the left handlebar grip all the way to the handle and the machine will start moving
backwards. At the same time as starting the machine, you must start walking in the appropriate direction and speed of the
machine.
Take extra care when reversing the machine!
1.4.2.3 Stopping the machine
If you need to stop the wheel drive, release the lever on the left handle. The machine wheel drive will stop, but the blade will still rotate.
The blade drive is turned off by releasing the lever on the right handle. The automatic brake will stop the blade. Switch the throttle lever to
the
MIN
or
STOP
position.
Always turn off the engine and wait until the work tool stops, before engaging in any activity near the machine!
Always turn the engine off before leaving the machine!
In the event of a critical situation, release the handlebars immediately. Do not stick to the machine! The levers
return to the zero position, the machine and the cutting blade stop (the engine remains running at the set speed,
so switch off the engine as soon as possible by moving the lever to the "STOP" position!)
Never let the engine running at maximum speed or idling for long periods, with the blade drive clutch and
wheel drive clutch turned off! This could result in damage to the drivetrain components (V-belt, pulley,
clutch pulley, etc.)!
