DIFFERENTIAL LOCK

WARNING : PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Do not engage the differential lock at high speed. The turning circle will increase with the differential lock engaged.

The differential lock operates in both ‘forwards’ and ‘reverse’ and can be engaged whilst the mower is travelling slowly. Engage the differential lock to prevent excessive wheel spin when the drive wheels lose traction. Engine power demand increases when the differential lock is engaged. Prevent excessive power requirements by operating with differential lock at SLOW speed.

Engaging differential lock: Depress the differential lock pedal.

Disengaging differential lock: Release the differential lock pedal.

SPEED CONTROL PEDAL

The speed control pedal can be adjusted to provide two speed ranges.

Securing the speed control cable through hole ‘A’ will provide 0-22 km/hr (0-14 mph) forward and 0-11 km/hr (0-7 mph) reverse. Securing the cable through hole ‘B’ will provide 0-19 km/hr (0-12 mph) forward and 0-8 km/hr (0-5 mph) reverse.

WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Ensure that the control cable is securely fastened to the speed control pedal. Ensure that both the cable and pedal articulate freely through their full range of travel and that the mechanism freely returns to neutral when released.

WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Ensure that the control cable is correctly routed underneath the operator platform such that it is clear of any obstructions and impediments to its operation.
