Controls - Collecting Grass (PGC & Net)
Adjusting the sweeper height
Use the sweeper height lever to select the position
appropriate to the conditions and the height of cut.
TO GET THE BEST SWEEPING PERFORMANCE
AND TO PRESERVE THE BRUSHES SELECT THE
HIGHEST SETTING THAT WORKS – start high
and adjust down until the brushes start to collect
(normally the middle adjustment hole). Do not set the
brushes too low – this will lead to scarifying and a
very untidy finish as well as shortening brush life.
Standard grass collection
When cutting the grass and collecting follow these
simple steps:
1. Always run the engine at maximum speed.
2. Lower the sweeper to the working position.
REMEMBER: TO GET THE BEST SWEEPING
PERFORMANCE AND TO PRESERVE THE
BRUSHES, SELECT THE HIGHEST SETTING
THAT WORKS.
3. Engage the sweeper drive.
4. Engage the cutter deck drive.
5. Lower the deck to the desired height of cut.
6. Drive forward at a speed that does not cause
the engine speed to drop. REMEMBER: if the
engine output drops, there are two options:
a) Reduce forward speed b) Raise the cutting
height.
Sometimes when cutting long grass or a paddock,
it may be better to cut the grass and disperse the
clippings directly to the ground. In this situation
remove the PGC, and use a HGM Deck or XRD Deck.
