Using your Garden Tractor
Adjusting the sweeper height
(Fig. 24)
Use the sweeper height lever to select the position
appropriate to the conditions and the height of cut.
TO GET THE BEST SWEEPING PERFORMANCE
AND TO PRESERVE THE BRUSHES SELECT THE
HIGHEST SETTING THAT WORKS – start high
and adjust down until the brushes start to collect
(normally the middle adjustment hole). Do not set the
brushes too low – this will lead to scarifying and a
very untidy finish as well as shortening brush life.
To tip cuttings
(Tractors fitted with Electric Net)
(Figs. 15 & 16)
When it is full, raise the Collector to the transport
position (Page 7, Fig. 15). Drive to your tipping area,
reverse to the pile, then depress the PGC Net Empty
Switch (Page 7, Fig. 16).
Standard grass collection
When cutting the grass and collecting follow these
simple steps:
1. Always run the engine at maximum speed.
2. Lower the sweeper to the working position.
REMEMBER: TO GET THE BEST SWEEPING
PERFORMANCE AND TO PRESERVE THE
BRUSHES, SELECT THE HIGHEST SETTING
THAT WORKS.
3. Engage the sweeper drive.
4. Engage the cutter deck drive.
5. Lower the deck to the desired height of cut.
6. Drive forward at a speed that does not cause the
engine speed to drop. REMEMBER: if the RPM
display flashes below 2600rpm, there are two
options: a) Reduce forward speed b) Raise the
cutting height.
Sometimes when cutting long grass or a paddock,
it may be better to cut the grass and disperse the
clippings directly to the ground. Alternatively remove
collector net, fit the deflector accessory and spread
the cut grass prior to final collection.
