Cutterhead Position Control

The cutterheads may be raised or lowered
independently using the bank of 3 lift control
levers.
To lower the cutterheads, operate the lift control
levers in a downward direction until locked into
position. If the cutterhead drive switch is in the
'on' position, the cylinder drive will engage when
the cutterheads are approximately 300mm (11.8̋)
above ground level.
IMPORTANT: PREVENT DAMAGE - The lift
control levers must be locked in position 1 while
moving. NEVER mow with the lift control levers
in position 2 (neutral).
To raise the cutterheads, operate the lift control
levers in an upward direction and hold in
position 3. If the cutterhead drive switch is in the
'on' position, the cylinder drive will disengage
when the cutterheads are approximately 300mm
(11.8̋) above ground level. Release the lift control
levers when the cutterheads are at the required
height. The control levers will automatically return
to position 2 (neutral).

Cutterhead Drive Engagement

operator is seated correctly, refer to OPERATOR

cutterheads, thereby removing the cutterhead
suspension deadweights and wing units stored ener-
