6. CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS
A) FORWARD CLUTCH CONTROL LEVER
This lever only has two positions: engage and disengage. Lowering the lever
engages the clutch and releasing it disengages the clutch. The service brake is
connected to this lever. The brake operates automatically when the clutch is
disengaged.
B) ACCELERATOR CONTROL LEVER
This is used to adjust the number of engine revolutions according to the opera-
tions to be carried out. Hence at switch on the lever will be positioned on the
minimum setting whilst during work operations it will be positioned as required by
use.
C) EMERGENCY BRAKE LEVER
This engages the machine's emergency brake should the automatic brake con-
nected to the forward clutch lever (Fig 1 Ref. A) fail.
WARNING: make sure that the emergency brake lever ( Fig.1 Ref C) is not en-
gaged when operating the forward clutch lever (Fig. 1 Ref . A).
D) FLAIL ROTOR CLUTCH CONTROL LEVER
This is used to engage and disengage rotary movement of the flail holder rotor.
Lowering the lever engages the clutch and releasing it disengages the clutch. The
flail brake is connected to this lever, so the brake operates automatically when the
lever is released and the rotor stops within a few seconds.
WARNING
The flail rotor rotates at high speed if the engine is running and the flail clutch is
engaged, regardless of the position of the forward clutch.
E and E1) RIGHT AND LEFT WHEEL RELEASE LEVERS
These make directional gear changes easier during forward movement or ma-
noeuvring of the machine.
WARNING: never use the release levers instead of the forward clutch control
lever since release of the two wheel release levers at the same time auto-
matically disengages the service brake, thus overriding its safety function.
This precaution must be observed particularly when working on steep
banks.
G) FRONT WHEELS
These are the front support for the machine and they are involved in cutting height
adjustment.
