OPERATION

ALTERNATIVE ROTOR LINK POSITIONS

To enable extra angling (on the 1948) of the rotor unit three positions for the attachment of rotor link to cylinder link are provided. To achieve more downward angle of the rotor unit (for trimming far sides of hedges, down steep banks, etc.) the pivot pin should be fitted through the hole FIGURE 4-2 (A) and for close in work (with rotor unit angled vertically upwards) through the hole FIGURE 4-2 (B) in the ram link. The hole FIGURE 4-2

(D)is an intermediate hole. A. Rest rotor unit on ground.

B. Remove linch pin and link pin.

C.Retract or extend third ram depending on which hole is being used.

D.Replace Pin.

Grass Cutting

A.Run the rotor at normal speed (I.E. 540 rev/min. PTO speed)

B.Avoid taking in too much grass by regulating tractor speed.

C.If rotor shaft slows down or chokes up in grass, raise the rotor unit and allow grass to fall clear.

D.Before proceeding with the cutting let rotor speed pick up again.

E.Advantage may be gained in exceptional conditions by taking a narrow cut with part of the rotor shaft running idle.

F.When working alongside or clearing ditches, take a cut along the edge of the ditch so that the ditch limits can be seen.

G.Keep the highest point of the mower arms directly over the obstacle when working over a hedge or into a ditch.
