Walker C19i User Manual

Operating Instructions
37
WARNING
When moving forward, DO NOT suddenly
put the tractor in reverse by rapidly pulling
on the steering levers, especially when go-
ing downhill, as this can lift the tractor tail
wheel o󰀨 the ground and set up a bucking
motion due to operator overcontrol. If
bucking does occur, immediately stop the
bucking action by pulling the Forward
Speed Control (FSC) lever into the NEU-
TRAL-PARK position.
4. The FSC may be adjusted forward for faster
ground speed and backward for slower ground
speed. When mowing, ground speed should be
adjusted to match the load on the cutter blades,
i.e., as the engine pulls down in heavy cutting,
pull back on the FSC lever to reduce ground
speed. Adjusting ground speed helps maintain
a balance between engine power and blade
speed for high-quality cutting action.
5. Stop ground travel by pulling both steering
le vers backward to the NEUTRAL position
(trac tor not moving) and then moving the FSC
lever to the NEUTRAL-PARK position.
NOTE: If the tractor creeps forward or back-
ward with the FSC lever in the NEUTRAL-
PARK position, the transmission control needs
to be adjusted. Refer to ADJUSTMENTS for
Transmission Control and Neutral Function
Adjustment in Mainte nance Instructions or con-
tact your Walker dealer.
WARNING
In case either of the transmission drive
belts break during operation, and if the
machine is on a slope, the machine will
freewheel down the slope. To maintain
control, immediately (1) Release the
steering levers and simultaneously (2)
Move the FSC to the NEUTRAL-PARK
position. When the machine is stopped or
moving slowly, engage the parking brake.
NOTE: This is exactly the same procedure
used to normally stop and park the machine.
ENGAGING THE BLADE DRIVE
1. Set the engine throttle at about 1/3 speed. Do
not attempt to engage the blade clutch at
high engine speeds. This will drastically short-
en drive belt life. Use only moderate engine
speed when engaging the blade clutch.
2. Engage the blade clutch by pulling the blade
clutch lever SLOWLY up. For disengagement,
push the blade clutch lever down SLOWLY.
