press the upper half of the cutting unit
switch, found on the control panel.

System is installed (TST)
When the mower is driven on a slope of more
than its safe limit 22º, a warning is shown on
the visual display unit
NOTE
Always set the throttle to the maximum engine speed. If you find wet or thick grass
difficult to cut, decrease the forward speed to increase hydraulic pressure to the
cutting motors.

START UP SCREEN
When the ignition key is turned to the start
position, this screen is shown.
The hour meter will show total hours of
engine operation.
WARNING/SERVICE SCREEN
After the start up screen, the warning screen
is shown.
If the machine is within 5 hours of the next
service interval, a warning is shown. An
operator input is needed to continue to the
main screen for operation. Otherwise the
main run screen appears. If a fault condition
has occurred during the previous start, a pop
up screen over the top of the warning screen
shows the fault. The operator must confirm
the fault, to continue to the main screen.
FIRST SCREEN
This screen shows the cutter switch in the
OFF position, the transport lock engaged,
the TST is in operation and speed mode.
By pressing the MODE button the transmission
mode can be changed between Automatic,
Manual and Creep.
• Automatic - When the hydraulic
transmission pedal or the mower
circuits are activated the engine speed
will increase to the rpm level selected
by the operator. When the foot pedal
reaches neutral for more than a few
seconds or the mowers are disengaged
the engine rpm will return to idle. Useful
to save fuel and decrease the noise
emissions.
• Manual - The engine speed is
determined by the throttle position
regardless of pedal position or whether
the mower circuit is engaged. Useful if a
constant engine speed is needed.
• Creep - The maximum speed of the
transmission is limited and can not be
exceeded past a predetermined level
even with the engine speed set at
maximum rpm. Useful when you move
the machine in a workshop or loading
for transportation.
Note. The TST (Tilt Safety Technology) is an
active safety device to stop the machine
being used in dangerous conditions.
