CONTROLS

THROTTLE CONTROL LEVER

(A Fig.2)
The throttle lever is situated on the left hand side of
the operator beside the seat.
The lever should be moved forwards to increase the
engine speed and rearwards to decrease the engine
speed.
NOTE: Engine should be used at full speed.
STARTER SWITCH (B Fig2)
The starter key switch is situated on the left hand side
of the operator beside the seat.
The starter key should be turned clockwise to the 'pre-
heat' (No. 2) position to heat the glowplugs when the
amber warning lamp goes out on warning lamp
display module turn the starter key clockwise to the
'start' (No. 3) position to start the engine. After
starting, the key should be released and allowed to
return automatically to the 'on' (No. 1) position for
normal running.
CUTTING CIRCUIT PRESSURE GAUGE
(A Fig.3)
A pressure gauge is fitted to the machine which
enables pressure in the cutting cylinder drive circuit to
be checked. The gauge is situated on the right of the
operator on the forward facing panel in front of the
cutting unit lift levers.
NOTE: If the gauge reads over 210 bar (3045 psi)
with the cylinders rotating but not cutting, this
indicates incorrect cylinder adjustment.
If the gauge is registering in the red sector, i.e. 210+
bar (3045+ psi) then the following action should be
taken:
a. Ensure cutting cylinder adjustment is set
correctly with the bottom blade.
b. Increase height of cut.
c. Reduce forward speed.
d. Reduce width of cut by lifting one or more units
out of work.
These checks should always be made in the order
stated above.
FORWARD/REVERSE PEDAL (A Fig.4)
pushing down the top plate of the pedal moves the
machine forward. Pushing down the rear plate moves
the machine in reverse. The further the pedal is
depressed the faster the machine will move. The
pedal automatically returns to the neutral position
when foot pressure is released.
