Safety Notice
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Before
operating the mower it is essential that;
- The operator reads and understands this
manual.
- The daily maintenance checks have been
properly carried out and the mower is in
good working order.
- The operator should wear safety clothing
and eye protection. Failure to do so could
result in risk to health and safety.
- The area where the equipment is to be used
is inspected and all objects which may be
thrown by the machine are removed.
Operator Presence Control
The controls incorporate an operator presence
control (OPC) which is provided for the protection
of the safety and health of the operator. This system
has been designed to ensure that the cutterhead
drive and ground drive clutches are automatically
disengaged in the event of the operator releasing
hold of the handlebars for whatever reason. Each
handlebar is provided with an OPC lever and these
are mechanically linked such that operation or
either will activate the system. These levers are
lightly spring loaded and are held down by the palm
of the hand during operation. Release of the OPC
levers will cause the cutterhead clutch to disengage
(activating the brake to arrest the rotation attach-
ment cutting devices).
The travel speed rocker levers are spring loaded and
will return to the neutral position when released
thereby halting the motion of the machine.
The engine can only be started when the cutterhead
and ground speed controls are deactivated. The
integral switch sensors will not allow the engine to
be started unless this condition is satisfied.
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Do
not operate the mower if the operator presence
controls are defective in any way. ALWAYS
replace faulty parts and check that they function
correctly before operating the mower.
