Cutting Controls
The PTO / Deck configuration switch (fig. 28) controls
the electromagnetic blade clutch and rear PTO clutch.
To switch the cutter on;
1 - Select option A or B from the dashboard (fig. 28).
2 - Engage PTO (fig. 29).
3 - Operate the deck lift handle (fig. 30) to set the
cutting height.
SET THE DECK TO LEVEL 9 FOR LONGEST CUT
(fig. 31).
SET THE DECK TO LEVEL 1 FOR SHORTEST CUT
(fig. 32).
To stop the cutter deck, set the PTO engage switch
to the OFF position. Although the cutter deck is
automatically switched off when the engine is
stopped or when the operator gets off the seat, it is
not good practice to rely on these features, the cutter
deck should always be switched OFF as soon as you
have finished cutting and certainly BEFORE stopping
the engine or getting off the tractor. The cutter will
only work whilst the operator is sat on the seat.
To help prevent grass scalping start with a longer cut.
Move the deck to a lower position on second trim to
achieve desired finish.
RMO System
(Reverse Mow Override)
The RMO system is described in more detail on page
15. All models of the tractor have the RMO system
fitted as standard. This system will shut down the
cutter deck if the reverse pedal is pressed during
normal operation (ignition key position 3). When this
happens bring the tractor to a complete stop,
perform the normal safety checks, press the PTO
engage switch down (fig. 3, page 12, control 12) to
reset and then pull the switch to re-engage the deck
to continue mowing in the forward direction.
Warning: It is not recommended
to mow in reverse!
