OPERATING THE MOWER

CUTTERHEAD POSITION CONTROL

The cutterheads may be raised or lowered independently using the bank of 3
lift control levers.

To lower the cutterheads, operate the lift control levers in a downward
direction until locked in position 1. If the cutterhead drive switch is in the
‘ON’ position, the cylinder drive will engage when the cutterheads are
approximately 300mm above ground level.

IMPORTANT: PREVENT DAMAGE - The lift control levers must be
locked in position 1 whilst mowing. NEVER mow with the lift control
levers in position 2 (neutral).

To raise the cutterheads, operate the lift control levers in an upward direction
and hold in position 3. If the cutterhead drive switch is in the ‘ON’ position
the cylinder drive will disengage when the cutterheads are approximately
300mm above ground level. Release the lift control levers when the
cutterheads are at the required height. The control levers will automatically
return to position 2 (neutral).
