Electronic Slope Alert (ESA)
fig. 18a
(not applicable to Mini tractor)
(Figure 18a)
Should your tractor be fitted with 4WD it will have
ESA. This is set to an angle of 25° at the factory. If
this angle is exceeded then the display will flash 25°
and a warning siren will sound.
The exceptional traction of 4WD will allow you to
cut in very slippery conditions, and it also allows
the tractor to ascend very steep slopes. If the slope
fig. 18b
alarm sounds DO NOT attempt to cut or drive at a
greater angle than the one you are on. As all terrains
and conditions vary, great care should be maintained
when operating the tractor. DO NOT take the tractor
into an area where it could become unstable.
On no account should slopes steeper than 25° be
driven on.
Battery and Fuel
(MIni tractor)
(Figure 18b)
The Mini has a simple dashboard arrangement. The
two red filtered squares show the charge (Left hand)
and the fuel level (right hand). When the ignition
is turned on the charge light is lit. The only time
the charge light goes off is when there is a failure
with charging. If this happens you should ring your
nearest dealer.
When the fuel level is running low the fuel warning
light will appear. The tractor will need to be refuelled
