OPERATION
CONTROLS
LIFT ARM CONTROL.
The Lift Arm Control Lever ‘A’.
• PUSH - to Lower the Cutter Head.
• PULL - to Raise the Cutter Head.
IMPORTANT
When starting to cut:
• To reduce shock loads on the Cutter Motor
and components, the Cutter Head Motor
should be started before the Cutter Head is
lowered to the ground.
• Lower the Cutter Head slowly, do not let it
drop to the ground.
• The Lift Chain must be ‘slack’ while the
harvester is in operation.
DEPTH CONTROL.
The Depth Control Lever ‘B’.
• Pull – to decrease the Depth of Cut.
• PUSH – to increase the Depth of Cut.
The Depth of Cut can be adjusted to the desired
thickness of sod while harvesting.
The scale marks on the Depth Indicator ‘C’, show the
change in depth.
MANUAL CONVEYOR OVERRIDE.
The Manual Conveyor Override Lever ‘D’.
• PUSH – to manually advance the Roll-up
Conveyor only.
• PULL – to advance the Main Conveyor and
the Roll-up Conveyor simultaneously.
When a roll of sod is complete, the Roll-Up Conveyor
‘Override’ can be used to:
• Rotate the Roll several times, to apply several
wraps of netting to the outside of the Roll.
• It can also be used to position the cut end of
the Roll in a position that will enable easy
handling of the Roll without the netting.
The ‘all Conveyors’ override can be used when it is
desirable to finish rolling all of the sod on the
Conveyors, without moving the machine. For example
if the last roll of sod has been cut, and you want to
finish rolling and drop the roll at the end of the field.
