6. CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS

A) FORWARD CLUTCH CONTROL LEVER
This lever only has two positions: engage and disengage. Lowering the lever engages the
clutch and releasing it disengages the clutch. The service brake is connected to this lever.
The brake operates automatically when the clutch is disengaged.
B) ACCELERATOR CONTROL LEVER
This is used to adjust the number of engine revolutions according to the operations to be
carried out. Hence at switch on the lever will be positioned on the minimum setting whilst
during work operations it will be positioned as required by use.
C) FLAIL ROTOR CLUTCH CONTROL LEVER
This is used to engage and disengage rotary movement of the flail holder rotor. Lowering the
lever engages the clutch and releasing it disengages the clutch. The flail brake is connected
to this lever, so the brake operates automatically when the lever is released and the rotor
stops within a few seconds.
WARNING
The flail rotor rotates at high speed if the engine is running and the flail clutch is engaged,
regardless of the position of the forward clutch.
G) FRONT WHEELS
These are the front support for the machine and they are involved in cutting height adjustment.
H) FRONT GUARD
The front guard ( Fig. 1, ref. E) opens or closes automatically according to the amount of
grass to be cut. Use of the machine with the guard left open is strictly prohibited. This may
cause the outward projection of objects.
The guard may only be set in the open position during flail replacement operations with the
machine switched off.
