Cutterhead Drive Operation
The cutterhead drive engagement mechanism is
protected by the Operator Presence Control (OPC)
system.
To engage cutterhead drive: Push the cutterhead
clutch control lever forwards with the left hand
while pushing downwards on the OPC lever with
the palm of the right hand, release the cutterhead
clutch control lever and the cutterhead drive will
remain engaged until such time as the OPC levers
are released. The OPC levers are duplicated on
each handlebar and operation of either (or both)
will keep the system activated.
To disengage cutterhead drive: Release the OPC
levers. Observe that the cutterhead clutch control
lever automatically returns backwards to the disen-
gaged position.
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Do not
operate the mower if the handlebar controls of

tive in any way. ALWAYS replace faulty parts
and check that they function correctly before
operating the mower.
