Collector - Adjustments
ADJUST THE SWEEPING HEIGHT
Using the Sweeping height lever (fig 2) select the position
appropriate to the conditions and the height of the 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 stop to collect. DO NOT SET THE BRUSHES TOO
LOW – this will lead to scarifying and a very untidy finish as
well as shortening brush life.
CHECK LIST
Not picking up satisfactorily – check:
1. That the PTO lever is engaged.
2. That PTO pulley beneath the seat is turning – if not call
your dealer.
3. That the Collector Belt is not reversed (if it is correct the brush
will revolve against the forward direction of the tractor -
see below).
4. That the brush height adjustment is not too high or too low –
start at the highest setting and lower until it begins to collect.
5. That there is not a build up of congealed grass on the leading
edge on the brush guard.
6. That the brush is not clogged.
7. That the collector brush is not slipping – if so:
• Adjust tension (see page 15)
• Or replace worn or damaged belt (see page 15)
8. That the collector net is not clogged. If so, wash or brush with
a stiff hand brush.
9. That the bristles are not damaged (if so you can replace
individual comb bristles or fit a complete new brush
(see page 17).
10. That the ventilation slots on the top of the collector box are
not clogged.
11. That the venturi air vent is not blocked.
TO TIP CUTTINGS
You can check the contents of the grass box through the clear
cover. When it is full raise the collector to the transport position.
Drive to your tipping area; reverse to the pile, select neutral then
depress the PGC net empty switch (see page 4 fig 1).
