F-700 5.7.1 Adjustment of cutting height Adjustment of cutting height is affected by several important factors: • stand height and density • plant species prevailing in the stand • machine travel speed • cutting width • surface unevenness There is a general rule that the higher value of above mentioned factors, the greater height of guide wheels and cutting blade height adjustment above the surface.
F-700 Figure 6: Travel speed choice Maximum speed. Meant exclusively for the machine Gear change transportation lever. Maximum working speed. Low-height or low-density stand . Good for flat and even terrains. Arrow Medium working speed. Medium-height and high-density stands. Good for mild slopes. Minimum working speed.
F-700 Tilt the machine always only backwards onto the handlebars. Be very careful while moving under the lifted machine! Secure the machine against its spontaneous motion!
