IGNITION - Fig 1
The ‘Key Start’ controls both the ignition and the starter.
Insert the key and turn to the first position – the dash lights
will come on (check all is ready to start), then turn further to
activate the starter. Release as soon as the engine starts.
To stop, turn the key to the left (having first switched off
both the Cutter and PTO). It is always good practice to
remove the key and keep it safe. As with a car, it is
important to prevent unauthorised use by children who
could injure themselves.
CHOKE - Fig 1
An independent choke is fitted to some models in the C
Series range. This choke should be used in conjunction
with a fast throttle setting when starting the engine from
cold. It should be cancelled as soon as possible and not
used on a warm engine.
CUTTER ON/OFF SWITCH - Fig 1
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
switch off when the engine is stopped, it is not good
practice to rely on this safety feature. 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 - Fig 1
This lever is pushed forward and up for FAST and CHOKE,
back and down for SLOW. A cold engine is started on the
CHOKE setting, 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 - Fig 1
The headlights are turned ON by switching the rocker
switch down. The Headlights will not operate when the
ignition is OFF. Turn the Headlights OFF before starting or
stopping. Remember – DO NOT operate your tractor in
darkness unless you have adequate artificial light.
Please Note: - SAFETY SWITCHES
SEAT SAFETY SWITCH:
Your Countax tractor is fitted with a safety switch that will
turn OFF the engine and Cutter Deck should you
dismount. This is a safety device and SHOULD NOT be
used voluntarily. If you want to dismount from the tractor
and want the engine to continue running, first switch OFF
the Cutter Deck, then apply the Parking Brake. You can
now dismount. DO NOT LEAVE THE ENGINE IDLING
FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. Should you dismount with
the Parking Brake ON, the Cutter Deck will cut out after a
short delay of a couple of seconds. Do not rely on this
back-up cut-out. Ensure your safety by switching the
Cutter Deck off.
BRAKE PEDAL SAFETY SWITCH:
Your Countax tractor is fitted with a safety switch under
the Brake/Clutch pedal. This switch earths the ignition
unless the brake is on. The engine will only start while the
Brake/Clutch pedal is depressed. Two red lights on the
dash (Ignition and Brake) indicate that the Engine is
ready to start
