PTO Icon
(fig. 14 - Circle J)
The PTO supplies power to rear belt
driven accessories and the cutting
deck. Rear accessory PTO
engagement is indicated by the PTO
icon (fig 14J). Rear PTO is engaged
in much the same way as the deck.
Select a PTO option on the right dashboard panel
(fig. 14K). Now engage the rear PTO / deck switch on
the right rear body (fig. 14L).
Always disengaged the rear PTO / deck switch
before turning the engine ON or OFF.
Headlight Icon
(fig. 15 - Circle O)
The headlights (fig. 15N) are
controlled by the ignition key (fig.
15M). Headlights are in operation at
all times when the engine is running.
The dashboard headlight icon (fig.
15O) is not used for current models. It will not
appear lit at any stage of operation.
RPM Meter
(fig. 16 - Circle P)
The RPM meter is displayed on the
far right hand side of the control
panel (fig. 16P). The meter displays
engine input using a bar guage and
shows input over three colour
phases. Use the throttle controller (fig. 8 & 9) to set
engine input. The RPM meter displays more coloured
bars as the throttle is increased.
Engine input effects all mechanically engaged
devices including cutting blades, PGC and travel
speed.
It is generally advisable to set the throttle and RPM
count high before engaging the cutter deck and / or
rear PTO. This will prevent the engine from stalling
due to the larger load.
For best cutting results always cut grass at full RPM
and low travel speed. Keep the RPM meter in the
highest throttle zone and control travel velocity using
the forward or reverse pedals.
