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 is effective only when 'Work' mode is selected.
The differential lock operates in both 'forwards' and 'reverse' and can be
engaged whilst the turf 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.

TRAVEL CONTROL PEDALS

WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Ensure that the trans-
mission control cable is securely fastened to the travel control
pedal mechanism. Ensure that both the cable and pedals articu-
late freely through their full range of travel and that the mecha-
nism 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 opera-
tion.
This is of particular importance after the platform has been
opened and subsequently closed following inspection maintenance
operations.
Before operating the machine, ensure that there are no foreign
objects or liquids on the platform or pedals - ALWAYS KEEP
THE OPERATOR PLATFORM CLEAR/CLEAN.
