PLEASE READ BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE YOUR TRACTOR

IGNITION - Fig 1

 

HEADLIGHT SWITCH - Fig 1

The ‘Key Start’ controls both the ignition and the starter. Insert the key and turn to the first position – the dash lights will come on (check all is ready to start), then turn further to activate the starter. Release as soon as the engine starts. To stop, turn the key to the left (having first switched off both the Cutter and PTO). It is always good practice to remove the key and keep it safe. As with a car, it is important to prevent unauthorised use by children who could injure themselves.

CHOKE - Fig 1

An independent choke is fitted to some models in the C Series range. This choke should be used in conjunction with a fast throttle setting when starting the engine from cold. It should be cancelled as soon as possible and not used on a warm engine.

CUTTER ON/OFF SWITCH - Fig 1

The Cutter Switch controls the Electromagnetic Blade Clutch. It works like a light switch (but in reverse) – UP for ON and DOWN for OFF. Although it always returns to the central position and the Cutter Deck will automatically switch off when the engine is stopped, it is not good practice to rely on this safety feature. The Cutter Deck should always be switched OFF as soon as you have finished cutting and certainly BEFORE stopping the engine or getting off the tractor.

THROTTLE - Fig 1

This lever is pushed forward and up for FAST and CHOKE, back and down for SLOW. A cold engine is started on the CHOKE setting, a warm one on the FAST setting. The CHOKE setting should be cancelled as soon as possible and the engine operated on FAST setting at all times.

The headlights are turned ON by switching the rocker switch down. The Headlights will not operate when the ignition is OFF. Turn the Headlights OFF before starting or stopping. Remember – DO NOT operate your tractor in darkness unless you have adequate artificial light.

Please Note: - SAFETY SWITCHES

SEAT SAFETY SWITCH:

Your Countax tractor is fitted with a safety switch that will turn OFF the engine and Cutter Deck should you dismount. This is a safety device and SHOULD NOT be used voluntarily. If you want to dismount from the tractor and want the engine to continue running, first switch OFF the Cutter Deck, then apply the Parking Brake. You can now dismount. DO NOT LEAVE THE ENGINE IDLING FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. Should you dismount with the Parking Brake ON, the Cutter Deck will cut out after a short delay of a couple of seconds. Do not rely on this back-up cut-out. Ensure your safety by switching the Cutter Deck off.

BRAKE PEDAL SAFETY SWITCH:

Your Countax tractor is fitted with a safety switch under the Brake/Clutch pedal. This switch earths the ignition unless the brake is on. The engine will only start while the Brake/Clutch pedal is depressed. Two red lights on the dash (Ignition and Brake) indicate that the Engine is ready to start
