6.11 VARIABLE CYLINDER SPEED

The speed of rotation of the cutting cylinders is
adjustable by means of the handwheel (A) situated
on the left hand side of the operator. Cylinder speed
should be set to maximum in normal cutting
conditions. In very long growth conditions, cylinder
speed should be reduced to obtain best
finish,cylinder speed should also be reduced when
cutting very short, dry grass to prevent excesive
cylinder and bottom blade wear. Rotate the hand
wheel clockwise to increase cylinder speed,
anticlockwise to decrease cylinder speed.

6.12 BACKLAPPING LEVER

The lever (B) sets cutting cylinder rotational
direction with three positions:
(a) fully towards the seat for mowing, (b) fully away
from the seat for backlapping and (c) set in the mid
position for neutral. See the separate cutting unit
operator's manual for an explanation of the
backlapping procedure.
