Seat Adjustment (Fig 2)
The seat on your tractor is adjustable forward and backward to suit
the operator. Simply lift the seat latch at the front of the seat and
slide the seat forward or backward as appropriate. Always ensure
the seat is latched back into position before driving off.
Ignition (Fig 3)
The "key start" controls the ignition and a starter button controls the
engine start. The engine cannot be started without the park brake
being on. Insert the key and turn, then press the start button, this will
activate the starter. To stop the engine, turn the key to the left (having
first switched off both the cutter and Power Take-off). To prevent
unauthorised use, always remove the key after use. THE IGNITION
SHOULD ALWAYS BE TURNED OFF BEFORE THE TRACTOR IS
RE-STARTED.
Choke (Fig 4)
An independent choke is fitted to some models. This choke should
be used in conjunction with a fast throttle setting when starting the
engine from cold. It should be cancelled as soon as possible. Do
not use the choke when starting a warm engine.
Throttle (Fig 4)
The lever is pushed up for FAST( ) and down for SLOW
( ). On some models the choke control is above the fast setting, a
cold engine is started on the choke setting, a warm one on the FAST
setting. The choke setting should be cancelled as soon as possible.
The engine should be operated on the FAST setting at all times.
Battery Charge Light (Fig 5)
This light will illuminate when the ignition is turned on and will go out
once the engine has started to indicate that the battery is being
charged. If the light should illuminate for more than 2 minutes with
the engine running this probably indicates a charging fault. If the first
20A fuse has not blown your dealer should be contacted.
Low Fuel Warning (Fig 5)
When the petrol gets low on your tractor a warning light will appear
to tell you to fill up again as the tractor is about to run out of petrol.
Hour Meter & Service Light (Fig 5)
Your Westwood Tractor is equipped with an hour meter, which is
linked to the service light. The service light will come on 5 hours
before your service is due. This will need to be reset once the
service has been carried out and the next service interval will be
calculated from the reset time.
The Hour Meter is displayed by holding down the light switch and
turning on the ignition. All the time the light switch is held down the
hours will be displayed in 12.5-hour increments. On releasing the
light switch the display will revert to normal use.
Electronic Slope Alert (ESA) (Figure 5)
Should your tractor be fitted with 4WD it will have ESA. This is set to
an angle of 25 degrees at the factory. If this angle is exceeded then
the display will flash and a warning siren will sound.
The exceptional traction of 4WD will allow you to cut in very slippery
conditions, and it also allows the tractor to ascend very steep slopes.
If the slope alarm sounds DO NOT attempt to cut or drive at a
greater angle than the one you are on. As all terrains and conditions
vary, great care should be maintained when operating the tractor.
DO NOT take the tractor into an area where it could become
unstable.
On no account should slopes steeper than 25 0 be driven on.
