desired engine speed. Press down on
the forward section of the drive pedal for
forward movement, on the rear of the
drive pedal for reverse. The amount of
pressure can be used to control the
ground speed, especially in heavier
conditions.
MANOEUVRING:
Owing to the heel and toe type action of
the drive pedal, it is possible to take the
machine straight from forward to reverse
and vice versa. This quick forward and
reverse operation makes the machine
very manoeuvrable and the sharpest
turns can be negotiated easily and
quickly.
LOCKING THE DIFFERENTIAL
(DELUXE MODELS ONLY)
The differential can be locked for
improved traction. The differential should
be locked when:
Travelling over difficult terrain, such as
wet, uneven, and/or slippery surfaces.
Travelling on slopes
Using any attachment, such as the dozer
blade, or towing.
UNLOCKING THE DIFFERENTIAL
(DELUXE MODELS ONLY)
The differential can be unlocked for
improved steering and reduced wheel
scuffing.
TO BRAKE (WITH ENGINE RUNNING):
The drive pedal may be used to stop the
machine. If travelling forward push the
pedal into reverse until machine stops,
then bring the pedal back to neutral
position or vice versa if travelling in
reverse. Should a drive failure occur
during operation use the brake pedal
situated on the left hand side and forward
of where your foot would rest during
normal operation.
TO BRAKE (WITH ENGINE STOPPED):
Use foot brake pedal only.
PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION
BRAKE:
With the machine stationary, pull the lever
protruding out of the left hand mudguard
fully up to engage the park brake. Shift
down fully to disengage the park brake.
Do not engage parking brake unless the
machine has completely stopped.
Do not attempt to drive with park brake
engaged, damage will occur to large drive
sprocket, or park brake mechanism.
NOTE: When mowing slopes, keep
drive pedal in forward or reverse,
depending on direction of travel. The
low gearing will prevent it from picking
up excessive speed. If slope is very
steep it may be necessary to slow
engine speed slightly and /or, apply
light drive pedal pressure to the
opposite drive direction. i.e. move
drive pedal into reverse when going
forward down slope or into forward
when reversing down slope.

Mowing Attachment Cutting
Height Adjustment Lever-
Used to change the mowing attachment
cutting height. To alter cutting height, lift
lever slightly and depress button, move
lever up to raise or down to lower the
mowing attachment cut height, stop at
desired cutting height and release button
to lock at 1 of 10 height positions.
NOTE–Do Not mow in any direction
on slopes beyond 15 degrees (1 in
3.75).
Fuel Tap Knob-
Used to shut off the fuel line to stop fuel
flow to the engine, when the tractor is
transported or not in operation. This is to
reduce the likelihood of fuel leakage.
Before starting fully turn the knob clock-
wise to the on position to allow fuel to
flow. Turn anti-clockwise to the off posi-
tion to shut off the fuel line (to stop fuel
flowing to the engine).

TO REMOVE MOWING ATTACHMENT (STEEL
DECK) –
Stop engine, ensure mowing attachment blades
have stopped rotating, and spark plug lead is
disconnected & grounded, disconnect battery
negative terminal to prevent accidental starting,
disconnect the belt tensioning spring (front left hand
side of mowing attachment). Lower mowing
attachment onto 20mm block front and rear.
Remove cutter belt from engine pulley. Remove two
M10 x 50mm bolts, nuts & washers from mower
suspension link at rear of the mowing attachment.
Remove mowing attachment pivot pin lock screw
and nut (6mm) and remove mowing attachment
pivot pin. Remove the M8x35mm bolt from the
cradle frame attachment bracket. Turn the front
wheels a little to the left and twist the mowing
attachment to the right and slide the deck from under
the mower ro the right side.
Re-assemble in reverse order. To assist in refitting
mowing attachment pivot pin, raise the mowing
attachment slightly. Refit mower suspension link &
lifting links and M10x50mm bolts, nuts and washers.
Refit cutter belt, connect belt tensioning spring and
refit spark plug lead and battery terminal.
CHECK TYRE PRESSURES - Uneven
pressure can give an uneven finish when
mowing and overly low or high pressures may
cause damage to tyres and/or tubes. The
recommended pressure is: 170kPa (24 P.S.I.)
Front. 140kPa (20 P.S.I.) Rear.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE- Batteries can be
dangerous as they contain acids (corrosive
chemicals), flammable vapours, large amounts of
stored electrical energy, which may cause
chemical burns, explosions or fires. Where
goggles and a protective face guard. Remove
jewellery/watches before handling the battery. Do
not perform any battery maintenance where there
are open flames or the possibility of sparks.
Always work in a well ventilated area. Ensure the
top of the battery is clean and dry (free of dirt and
grime) as a dirty battery can discharge across the
top of the battery casing. Inspect the terminals,
screws and cables for breakage, damage or loose
connections and they are clean, tight and free of
corrosion. When not in use, a battery discharges
by as much as 1% a day, more when the
climate is warm. To make up for this loss, a
boosting charge should be given once a month.
Disconnect battery terminals (negative terminal
first) to charge, then allow to stand minimum
1/2hr before re-connecting (negative terminal
first). If a battery is not used for a period of
more than three (3) months, the terminals
should be disconnected and trickle charged at
two (2) amps for two (2) hours once every three
(3) months or before use. At the end of any
maintenance ensure the battery is securely
fastened in place, especially if it has been
removed.
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT- Remove the ‘R’ pin
securing the adjustable link rod to the brake lever &
turn adjustable link rod clockwise push adjustable
link rod into machine & refit link rod to pedal & refit
‘R’ Pin.
CLEANING MACHINE WITH WATER PRESSURE
–Allow machine to cool down (min 2 hrs) before
hosing down. Start engine and engage drive and
cutting systems to clear water from pulleys and belts.
Stop engine and allow machine to dry. Lubricate as
required. Do not cover machine with plastic or vinyl
type material.
GENUINE SPARE PARTS- Always use Genuine
Factory Made Spare Parts. Use of non-genuine
FastCUT 2 spares will void your warranty.
SAFETY FIRST- The use of mechanical devices
can cause injury or property damage if incorrect
procedures are used. Please ensure all
operators & users read & understand all safety
instructions in this manual.

NEW MOWER:
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the

a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable
loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or
replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does
not amount to a major failure.
Nothing in this Warranty purports to modify or exclude the conditions,
warranties and undertakings, and other legal rights, under the Australian
Consumer Law. This Warranty gives you additional protection for your
Mower, and identifies a preferred approach to resolving warranty claims
which will be quickest and simplest for all parties, subject to the
exclusions, terms and conditions below.
WARRANTY PERIOD:
COX INDUSTRIES warrants in respect of each new Mower sold that,
subject to the exclusions below, for the Warranty Period COX INDUSTRIES

TO CLAIM THE WARRANTY:
To make a claim under this Warranty, please bring or send the Mower to
an authorised Dealer with a copy of your proof of purchase of the Mower.
A claim under this Warranty is not formally made unless and until that
proof of purchase is provided. This does not detract from your statutory
rights.
WARRANTY REGISTRATION:
The online warranty registration form must be completed within 14 days of
purchase. It is the purchasers responsibility to ensure this is carried out.
This Warranty is transferable to a subsequent owner of a Mower, in the
event of the sale of that product, provided that COX INDUSTRIES is
informed in writing within a reasonable time of the sale of the subsequent
owner's name and contact details, such notice to be provided to COX

repairs are in progress;
2) telephone, facsimile or other related communication expenses.
3) transportation and insurance charges during transportation of failed

5) the replacement of or service costs relating to replacing and
maintaining consumable parts which have ceased working through
normal wear and tear such as, but not limited to, normal maintenance
parts such as mower discs, blades, bolts and nuts, vee belts, bearings,

7) any defect caused by misuse, negligence, accidents or failure to carry
out proper maintenance procedures;
8) damage caused by continued operation of the machine after it is
known to be defective;
9) any other expenses incurred by the consumer in making the warranty
