‘Cutter On’ Symbol

This light flashes continuously when the Cutter is running.

‘Ignition On’ Symbol

This indicator goes out when the Cutter is running.

MOVING OFF - Fig 3a

To move off, ensure your feet are off pedals ‘B’ and ‘C’, then release the Parking Brake by depressing and releasing pedal ‘A’. Now gently depress pedal ‘B’ and you will move off. The further you depress pedal ‘B’, the faster you will go. Its function is very similar to that of the accelerator on an automatic transmission car, except that it controls the hydrostatic drive and not the speed of the engine.

‘Charge’ Symbol

This indicator comes on only when the battery is charged (if this indicator is not lit by the end of the mowing session you should run the engine at maximum revs until it lights or remove the battery for charging).

P ‘Brake - On’ Symbol

This indicator illuminates when the Parking Brake is engaged.

REVERSING - Fig 3a

To engage and control reversing, simply take your foot off pedal ‘B’ – to avoid a rapid stop, remove your foot gently. The tractor will come to a standstill. When the tractor is stationary, press pedal ‘C’ to move backwards.

EMERGENCY BRAKING - Fig 3a

In normal use, removing your foot from either of the drive pedals is all that is required to stop the tractor safely and quickly. For an emergency stop, press pedal ‘A’ whilst releasing the drive pedal, this will add physical braking to the normal hydrostatic braking.

‘Deck Height’ Indicator

This illuminated display illustrates the height of the cut that the Cutter Deck is currently working at.

‘Hour Meter’ Indicator

This meter displays the number of hours the tractor has been running since it was built (very much like a odometer on your car). Use it in the same way for judging services and oil changes.

PARKING - Fig 3a & Fig 4

Remove your foot from pedals ‘B’ and ‘C’ and the tractor will come to a standstill. Now depress pedal ‘A’; keeping pedal ‘A’ depressed, firmly press down on the Parking Brake knob ‘D’ (Page 5, fig 4) using your left hand. Whilst keeping knob ‘D’ depressed release the Brake/Clutch pedal ‘A’ and it should remain in the engaged depressed position. Now gently release the Parking Brake knob, and your tractor will now be parked. When you turn off the engine, the natural braking of the hydrostatic system will add to the effect of the brake, its like leaving your car in gear! To release Parking Brake simply depress pedal ‘A’.
