Presentation

Do not smoke when filling the tank with fuel.

Diesel is less flammable than petrol at normal temperatures, but becomes very flammable if heated to the flash point. This varies depending on the type of diesel but is normally higher than +50 °C (120 °F).

Observe fuel hygiene. The diesel engine’s fuel injection system is very sensitive and can be damaged by contaminants, which may be so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye. Only use clean containers (closed + dust-free funnel). Wipe away any dust before removing the fuel tank filler cap. There is a filter to protect the fuel injection system, however if it becomes blocked operational malfunctions may occur. Rectifying damage, operational malfunctions, filter replacement caused by poor hygiene are not repairs that are covered under warranty

Remember the environmental risks. See “Environment protection” on page 26.

Wipe up any spillages. Material that has been contaminated by fuel must be moved to a safe place.

If you spill fuel on your clothes, change to prevent skin irritations.

Winter fuel and paraffin precipitation

Malfunctioning can occur when driving in extremely cold conditions on account of paraffin precipitation, which can occur if using standard fuel. To avoid this, winter fuel, diesel with additives to prevent precipitation, is sold in relevant climates. In certain regions different types of summer and winter fuels are sold, in other regions. winter fuel is sold all year round. Ask you fuel supplier and only use winter fuel below 0 °C (+32 °F).

21-37. Controls on the control panel

The control panel is prepared for optional extras, which are sold as accessories for PT 26D. Therefore, some of the following control units may not be included with your machine.

21. Control lever hydraulics

The lifting lever is used to put the cutting unit in either the transport or mowing position when hydraulic pressure is available.

Lifting the cutting unit (transport position)

Stop the blades by pressing in the switch for driving the cutting unit (22).

Pull the lever backward to engage the transport position. The unit is then raised.

The cutting unit can be raised slightly with the blades in operation. This is to facilitate work when cutting in extremely tall grass or on uneven surfaces. The machine is, however, equipped with an automatic blade stop function, which is activated when the cutting unit reaches the transport position. If the automatic blade stop is activated, the switch (22) must be pressed in and pulled out to restart.

Lowering the unit (mowing position)

Move the lifting lever forwards to engage the cutting position. The unit is then lowered. The lever does not need to be held in position, allow it to spring back to the zero position when the unit has been lowered.

The blades are started with the switch for driving the cutting unit (22).

Weight transfer can be activated, which means the cutting unit follows the ground contour and unevenness on the lawn more precisely. See “Weight transfer” page 23
