To stop the machine release the travel brake, press the
brake and consequently always secure the machine with
the parking brake against the unwanted travel of the
machine.
Before driving release the parking brake.
4.4 Cutting grass
Attention! Do not activate the cutting mechanism of the
self-moving cutter in the lower position. Before activation
lift the cutting mechanism minimally into the 3
rd
position of
the lifting lever of the cutting mechanism,Fig.9; then lift
the drive of the cutting mechanism or you can lower the
cutting mechanism into the lowest position.
Fig.9
The producer recommends keeping this setting!
If you relocate the supporting wheels of the cutting mechanism
into the upper position and the lever for the lifting of the
cutting is in the 1
st
position, you will achieve the maximum
cutting of the grass.
Fig.10
Setting the height of the cut, Pic.9
Setting the height of the cut is performed by the lever “K”
(Fig.9) in seven possible positions. When changing positions
in a downward direction it is necessary to release the arrester
by pressing the button at the end of the lever.
Activation of the driving of the cutting
mechanism and the travel of the machine
If the self-moving rotary cutter is on the grass which is to be
cut, then it is necessary:
1. to set minimally the 3
rd
position of the lifting cutting
mechanism
2. to activate the drive of the cutting mechanism by
switching the switch on the panel of the machine
3. to set the required position of the lifting cutting
mechanism
4. as described above in the “travel” chapter, fluently
move the machine
Important!
The machine is equipped with automatic checking of the
contents of the bag. (This means that when the bag is full
there is the automatic disconnection of the electromagnetic
clutch of the drive for the cutting mechanism). The automatic
check is activated by the AUT-MAN switch (Fig.3c, position
13), switching to the AUT position. (When switching into the
MAN position there is the disconnection of the automatic
checking). In the case of starting the drive of the cutting
mechanism and following the filling of the bag, the drive of
the cutting mechanism is automatically disconnected. The
filling of the storage rank is indicated by the signal lamp
(Fig.3a, pos. 17). The activation of the drive of the cutting
mechanism is possible after emptying the bag. (In the case of
cutting in the MAN position, the bag is filled more than in the
AUT position, however, the any further cut grass remains on
the lawn. The use of the MAN position requires a skilful
operator!)
Note: In practice, experienced employees use both positions.
After automatic filling of the basket and disconnection of the
cutting machine, they switch to manual control and the
complete cutting of the estimated strip of the lawn during
which the channel is not overfilled. This reduces the number
of overflows of the tanks and driving to the place of emptying.
Important!
To prevent the increased wearing of belts of the drive of
the cutting mechanism, it is recommended to switch to the
cutting mechanism with adjusted gas lever in the central
position.
To ensure the correct output and the proportional cut, it is
necessary to select the travel speed according to the status of
the cut grass (height and density) and the moisture of the lawn.
In the case of the decrease of the speed of the engine, it is
recommended to decrease the travel speed and it is necessary
to take into consideration that good cutting of the lawn is not
achieved if the speed of the travel is too high. Always, when it
is necessary to overcome an obstacle, it is necessary to
disconnect the drive of the cutting mechanism and to lift the
cutting mechanism into the highest position.
