2. Turn the ignition switch (D) to the right and hold until the engine starts (approximately 5-10 seconds.)

3. The glow plugs operate automatically. The time taken for the engine to start, depends on the temperature of the coolant

4. When the engine starts, release the key immediately. The key returns to the RUN position.

5. If the engine does not start, return the key to the OFF position and try again.

NOTES

• If the engine does not start after two tries, wait 20 seconds and try again.

HOW TO MOW

1. Make sure that the speed limiter is set in the mow position

2. Release any transport locks and lower the cutting units with the joysticks.

3. To engage the cutting mechanism, press the upper half of the cutting unit switch, found on the control panel.

4. Release the parking brake and drive in a forward direction.

4. Set a speed compatible with the surface and gradient you are cutting. When you operate at speed, danger is increased and the quality of cut will be compromised.

When the optional Stability Warning System is installed

When the mower is driven on a slope of more than its safe limit, a warning is shown on the visual display unit. At 22degrees the centre and upper unit is lifted 4-6 inches above the ground and all units stop. This makes the machine stable. This condition continues until the mower is moved to a safer area.

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 motor s .

NOTE

Always set the throttle to maximum engine speed to cut the grass. When the grass

is heavy or the engine is under stress, decrease forward speed on the forward/

reverse foot pedal.

If the temperature increases to 108°C, the RED LEDs (A) will flash at a rate of two flashes every four seconds. The warning

buzzer will sound at the same rate and the “CLEAR BUGSCREEN” warning replaces the centre icons and flashes. Press the button under the check mark to remove warning. The RED LED’s will flash and the buzzer continues until the temperature has decreased to under 108°C. When the temperature reaches 110°C, the lift / lower function is stopped and the power take off is disengaged. The engine will shutdown at 115°C.

This occurrence will also be recorded to memory, the data recorded is: Water Temperature limit reached, Date, Time, Engine Hours, time above 110°C. Maximum temperature reached during the fault.

BLOCKED CHARGE FILTER SCREEN

This situation does not cause a fault until the hydraulic oil is at operating temperature. If the charge filter is blocked the icon will be shown, and the RED LED’s (A) will flash at a rate of a 1s flash every 5 seconds. The buzzer will sound at the same rate one second every 5 seconds.

The fault will also be recorded to memory, the data recorded is: Blocked Charge Filter, Date, Time, Engine Hours, length of time engine continued to run after the fault occurred.

SLOPE WARNING SCREENS

NOTE

The slope warning screens will only become visible when the TST is installed. During work, if the machine is driven onto a slope of more than 16º the screen will display this warning which over rides all other information, and will continue until the machine has been driven to an area of less than 16º.

If the slope angle reaches 18º, the screen will display this warning that indicates that the cutting unit arms are locked in the lower position. An audible warning will be given, the buzzer will sound four times every four seconds and the red LED’s will flash four times every four seconds. This will continue until the machine has been driven to an area of less than 16º.

If the slope angle reaches 22º the screen will display this warning that indicates that at 22deg the centre and upper unit will be raised 4"- 6” above the ground to improve stability and all units stop rotating. An audible warning will also be given, the buzzer will sound four times every four seconds and the red LED’s will flash four times every four seconds. This continues until the machine has been driven to an area of less than 16º.

The last 50 “Faults” that the controller finds are recorded. When 50 faults are recorded, the next fault that occurs will overwrite the oldest fault.

This information is retrieved using the service tool, or can be seen on the errors page of the service menu. The same method of navigating pages applies, the errors scroll with the last error always at the top of the screen.

The fault / data record function has three actions. Each record can contain a maximum of 50 faults. These are as follows

Inclinometer records the slopes greater than 22°.

Engine records the engine shutdowns caused by overheat or loss of oil pressure.
