FOR THE LOCATION OF CONTROLS AND COMPONENTS REF “MACHINE DESCRIPTION” & ‘TECHNICAL DATA’
PAGES. BE FAMILIAR WITH THE CONTROLS AND THE PROPER USE OF THE EQUIPMENT BEFORE STARTING.
KEY SWITCH & START BUTTON (ITEM 13 & 17)
This switch cuts power to the electrical components and can be used to do so at any time during the operation of the machine.
See basic operations page for more information
DEADMANS CONTROLS (ITEM 16)
This is an operator presence control. This must be depressed before the drive and cylinder motors will engage. Releasing the
handle during operation will cut power to both motors.
MECHANICAL PARKING BRAKE (ITEM 8)
This applies a mechanical brake to the rear roller. It is only to be engaged when the machine is stationary, it is NOT to stop the
machine. Push the lever forward to engage and pull back behind brake plate to disengage. The display will automatically display
PARK on the gear selection icon when the brake is engaged. The brake must be disengaged before the gear selection can be
changed by the operator.
THE MECHANICAL PARKING BRAKE MUST BE DISENGAGED TO ALLOW
THE MOWER DISPLAY TO BE SET TO DRIVE OR REVERSE.
NOTE:-
PUSHING THE MOWER WHEN NOT MOTOR DRIVEN SHOULD ALWAYS BE
DONE IN NEUTRAL TO AVOID DAMAGING THE INTERNAL MOTOR BRAKE.

13. GENERAL ADJUSTMENTS
SETTING FOR HEIGHT OF CUT
Always stop the engine before adjusting the height of cut. Failure to
do this may result in serious injury. The length of grass after cutting
and the depth of SCARIFICATION / DETHATCHING / BRUSHING,
depends on the setting of the front roller in relation to the main
frame of the machine.
To set:
●Slacken the clamp nuts on the front roller quadrants
(see image opposite) [19mm spanner] - Item 1
●Rotate the quadrants using the toothed gear [19mm
spanner], raising and lowering the machine. As a
guide, there are notches in the quadrant and holes
in the side plate. Align these on both sides to level
the machine. - Item 2

XX
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE DETHATCHING CASSETTES OR BRUSH
CASSETTES ON TOO LOW A SETTING AS THIS WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO
THE BLADES AND BRUSHES.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SCARIFY ON TOO LOWER SETTING WHEN THE
GROUND CONDITIONS ARE DRY AS THIS COULD CAUSE THE BELT TO SLIP
AND WEAR AT AN INCREASED RATE.
NOTE:-
NOTE:-
XX
To check the height of cut and that the machine is level, the setting bar can be used (229524). Place the bar between the front
and rear rollers, resting the underside of the bolt head on the lip of the shear blade.
A ruler can be used to set the setting bar to the correct position. You are measuring the distance between the bar and the
underside of the button head screw. (‘XX’ in the image above)

planned height and then come down in height by trial.
Always check height of cut/operation with the setting bar provided. Check in two positions i.e. one at either end of the cassette.
Failure to do this could result in an uneven cut.

SETTING THE CYLINDER
The Cylinder cassette can be set either in or out of the machine.
To remove the cassette see following page.
To set:
● Slacken2-o󰀨locknuts(Item1)[19mmspanner]
●Rotate nut (Item 2) anti-clockwise to bring the
blade towards the cylinder.
●Check the setting using thin paper along the
length of the cylinder.
●Adjust until it cuts across the whole length.
●When set, tighten the lock nut (Item 1)
●Recheck adjustment.
●DO NOT set the cylinder hard to the bottom
blade.
●This will cause excessive wear of both
components and increase power consumption.
HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT
The “Handle Bars” are adjustable to achieve the correct working
height for the operator.
To set:
● Slackeno󰀨6-o󰀨nuts(Item1)¼”turn[17mm
spanner]
●Raise / lower the “Handle Bar” to the desired
position.
●When set, tighten the nuts (Item 1)
