Stopping The Engine

Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes before shut-
ting 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 work rate 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 ma-
chines tyres, wheels and steering system. Ensure
that tyres are inflated to the recommended pres-
sures.
