growth conditions, cylinder speed should be reduced to
obtain best finish,cylinder speed should also be reduced
when cutting very short, dry grass to prevent excesive
cylinder and bottom blade wear. Rotate the hand wheel
clockwise to increase cylinder speed, anticlockwise to
decrease cylinder speed.

The lever (B) sets cutting cylinder rotational direction
with three positions:
