BLADE ANGLE (PITCH)
Under normal operating conditions, blade angle
is minimal (blade bottom is at). In extremely
hard soil or when cutting with a dull blade, the
blade may want to ride out of the ground. It may
then help to adjust blade angle forward (see
Adjusting Blade Angle below). A short trial run
will indicate what the best blade angle is.
NOTE: Extreme blade angles put extra stress on
the side arms. To reduce stress on the machine,
operate with the attest blade angle that gives
satisfactory results.
ADJUSTING OPERATOR PRESENCE CONTROL
1. To adjust operator presence cable, pull clutch
control handle A rearward as far as possible.
2. Press operator presence handle (right handlebar)
down as far as possible.
3. Adjust cable until the pivot arm C contacts the
arm extending from the operator presence switch
B.
4. Tighten cable clamp to secure cable. Check for
proper operation.
