CUTTER ON/OFF SWITCH
The lever is pushed toward 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.
CHOKE
An independent choke is fitted to the
H1842 models. This choke should be
used in combination with a fast throttle
setting to start a cold engine - cancel
as soon as possible. Do not use choke
on warm engine.
IGNITION
The key start controls botit ignition and
the starter. Insert the key and turn to
the 1st position, the dashlights will
come on {check that all is ready to
start) then turn further to activate the
starter. Release when engine starts.
To stop, turn the key to the left (having
first switched off both cutter and PTO)
(T IS ALWAYS GOOD PRACTICE TO
REMOVE THE KEY AND KEEP IT
SAFELY. As with a car, it is important
to prevent unauthorised use by
children, who could injure themselves.
The cutter switch controls the electro¬
magnetic 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 be turned off v^fhen the
engine is switched off, it is not good
practice to rely on this. The cutter deck
should always be sv^ritched OFF as
soon as you have finished cutting and
certainly BEFORE stopping the
engine or getting off the tractor.
HEADLIGHTS SWITCH
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.
A. ‘Cutter On’ indicator - flashes con¬
tinuously when cutter is running.
B. The ‘Ignition On' indicator - goes
out vdien the cutter is running.
C. The ‘Charge’ indicator - comes on
only vi'hen the battery is charged. (If
this indicator is not lit by the end of
a mowing session you should
remove the battery for charging)
D. The ‘Brake OrV indicator.
SEAT SAFETY SWITCH
Your Hayter H-Series Tractor is fitted
with a svv'itch that will turn OFF the
engine and the cutter deck should
you dismount. This is a safety back¬
up and should not be used
voluntarily.
If you v»rant 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, but DO NOT LEAVE THE
TRACTOR STANDING WITH
ENGINE IDLING FOR ANY
LENGTH OF TIME. Should you try
to dismount with the parking brake
ON and the cutter deck 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 SAFETY BY
SWITCHING THE CUTTER OFF.
BRAKE PEDAL SAFETY SWITCH
Your Hayter H-Series Tractor is fitted
with a safety switch under the
brake/ciutch pedal. This switch
‘earths’ the ignition unless the brake
is on. The engine will only start while
the brake/clutch is depressed. Two
red lights on the dash (Ignition -
second right and Brake - far right)
indicate that the engine is ready to
start.
