6 CONTROLS

6.6 TRANSPORT LATCHES

When transporting the machine ensure the cutting
units are raised and the transport latches (A) are
engaged.
6.7 PARKING BRAKES
The parking brake (B) is engaged when the lever is
moved toward the operator. The brake is fitted with a
micro switch that sensors brake position. The brake
must be applied to start the machine, and when
stopping and leaving the seat.
CAUTION:- The parking brake must not be applied
whilst the vehicle is moving.

6.8 HYDRAULIC LIFT LEVERS

The cutting units can be raised and lowered by
three control levers (A) situated on the right hand
side of the operators seat and can be operated as
follows:
Centre lever controls Rear Unit No. 1
Right hand lever controls R.H. Unit No. 2
Left hand lever controls L.H. Unit No. 3
NOTE: If any unit is raised out of work then lowered
into work again the cylinder will not rotate until the
mow foot switch is depressed.
To lift: Move the lever(s) upwards and hold in
position until the units are at the required height.
To lower: Move the lever(s) fully downwards and
release, the unit(s) will lower to ground level. DO
NOT hold lever in down position.
NOTE: The units will only lift and lower when the
engine is running.
IMPORTANT: If, when cutting, a lift control lever is
accidently pulled up, the cutting units will not float
over ground undulations until the lever is pushed
fully down and allowed to return to neutral again.

6.9 WEIGHT TRANSFER

Cutting unit ground pressure can be varied within
preset limits and is controlled by the handwheel (B)
on the right hand side of the operator's seat located
next to the lift/lower levers. The handwheel is turned
clockwise to reduce the groundweight of the cutting
unit, improving slope climbing ability.
The handwheel is turned anti clockwise to increase
the ground weight of the unit. Increased down
pressure will reduce the likelyhood of cutting unit
bounce when cutting undulating ground. When
cutting level ground the normal setting is midway
way between the maximum and minimum positions.
