Notes:Controls and Indicators - Dashboard
IGNITION
The ‘Key Start’controls both the ignition
and the starter. Insert the key and turn to
the 1st position, the dashlights will come
on (check that all is ready to start), then
turn further to activate the starter. Release
when engine starts. To stop, turn the key
to the left (having first switched off both
cutter and PTO).
IT IS ALWAYS GOOD PRACTICE
TO REMOVE THE KEYAND KEEP
IT SAFE.
As with a car, it is important to prevent
unauthorised use by children who could
injure themselves.
CHOKE
An independent choke is fitted to the
A20/50. This choke should be used in
combination with a fast throttle setting to
start a cold engine. Cancel as soon as
possible. Do not use choke on a warm
engine.
CUTER ON/OFF SWITCH
The cutter switch controls the
Electromagnetic Blade Clutch. It works
like a light switch (but in reverse) – UP
for ON and DOWN for OFF. Although it
always returns to the central position and
the cutter deck will automatically be
turned off when the engine is switched
off, it is not good practice to rely on this.
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.
THROTTLE
The lever is pushed forward and up for
FAST, back and down for SLOW. A
cold engine is started on the
FAST
setting with choke, a warm one on the
FAST setting. The Choke setting should
be cancelled as soon as possible and the
engine operated on
FAST setting at all
times.
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
The headlights are turned ON by switching
the rocker switch on. The headlights will
not operate when the ignition is
OFF. Turn
the headlights OFF before starting or
stopping.
