When moving the machine, the blades must be disengaged and
the cutting deck put at its highest position (position «7»).
For mechanical drive models:
Put the accelerator control between the «SLOW» and «FAST» positions, and the
gear change lever in the 1st speed position ( 4.22).
Keep the pedal pressed down and disengage the parking brake. Slowly release
the pedal which will turn from «brake» to «clutch», thus operating the rear wheels
( 4.21).
The pedal has to be released gradually as a sudden
engagement may cause tipping up and loss of control of the vehicle.
Gradually reach the desired operating speed using the accelerator and gear lever.
To change the gear speed the clutch must be used pushing the pedal down half
way ( 4.21).
For hydrostatic drive models:
When moving the machine from one area to another, put the accelerator lever in a
midway position between «SLOW» and «FAST».
Disengage the parking brake and release the brake pedal ( 4.31).
Press the drive pedal ( 4.32) in direction «F» and go to the required speed by pro-
gressively increasing pressure on the pedal and moving the accelerator appropriate-
ly.
Drive must be engaged in the way already described
(
4.32) to prevent sudden engagement from causing tipping up and loss of
control of the vehicle, particularly on slopes.
5.4.3 B
RAKING
First, reduce the machine’s speed by reducing the engine’s r.p.m. and then push the
brake pedal ( 4.21 or 4.31) to further reduce the speed until the machine stops.
For hydrostatic drive models:
The machine already slows down considerably by just releas-
ing the drive pedal.
