11. Differential Lock

The differential lock is electro-hydraulic. It is operated by a pedal controlled switch. The differential lock only works longitudinally, it ensures operation on at least one front wheel and one rear wheel. This means that you can turn the machine with engaged differential lock without causing any interruptions in the power transmission or damage to the lawn.

As the differential lock is not mechanical, it can be engaged or disengaged without limitation, even when the machine freewheels or in the event of wheel spin. When the pedal is released, the differential lock disengages without the driver having to carry out any other operations. The differential lock only works at low speed and is active both up and down slopes.

12. Adjusting the cutting height

The cutting height adjustment allows the cutting height to be adjusted in seven different positions 25.4 mm - 127 mm (1” - 5”).

In order to obtain an even cutting height, it is important that the settings are in the same positions and the air pressure is the same in the front wheels, 100 kPa /

1.0bar / 14.5 PSI and in the cutting unit’s pivot wheels 150 kPa / 1.5 bar / 21,7 PSI

When the adjustments have been made, the cranks should be released using the button in the crank and set to a position that does not catch on any bushes or similar.
