STOPPING THE ENGINE

Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes before shutting it off after a full load
operation. Failure to do so may lead to turbo-charger trouble.

GENERAL OPERATING HINTS

1.
The rotational speed of the cutterblades should always be kept as high as possible in order to maintain the
highest quality of cut. This in turn requires that the engine speed be kept as high as possible.
2. The quality of cut will deteriorate if the forward speed is excessive. Always balance the quality of cut with
the workrate required and set the forward speed accordingly.
3. Never let the engine labour. Reduce the forward speed or increase the height of cut. Check that the
cutterblades are in good condition.
4. Always disengage the cutterdeck drive when travelling across ungrassed areas.
5.
Take care not to leave uncut strips of grass at the overlap points between adjacent cutterdecks by
avoiding tight turns.
WARNING : PREVENT ACCIDENTS -Take care when travelling over obstacles such as roadside
kerbs. ALWAYS travel at slow speed over obstacles to prevent damage to the tyres, wheels and steer-
ing system. Ensure that tyres are inflated to the recommended pressures.
