OPERATING CONTROLS
Power On Button/Key (Figure 12)
Never use the Power On button/key as a method for speed control. Speed control is
achieved by the hydraulic valve only. Using the On/Off switch repeatedly will cause
excessive wear and premature failure of electrical components.
Hydraulic Levers (Figure 13)
The hydraulic levers steer the machine. For even movement, move levers slowly. Fast
movement of control levers will result in jerky, uneven movement.
• To move the machine forward, push both levers forward
.
• To move the machine in reverse, pull both levers backward
.
• To turn the machine quickly to the right, move the left lever forward and the right
lever backward
.
• To turn the machine quickly to the left, move the left lever backward and the right
lever forward
.
• To turn the machine slowly to the right or left, push or pull only the right or left lever
forward
or
.
• Putting the levers in the center/neutral position causes the wheels to lock-up.
• Correcting direction while moving forward is accomplished by slightly reducing
pressure on one lever or the other while moving.
Emergency Stop Switch (Figure 14)
The emergency stop switch is designed to immediately cut power to the system. It must
be reset in order to restart the machine.
Seat Switch
The seat has a safety switch. Operator must be properly positioned for machine to run.
Cylinder Lift Lever (Figure 15)
The cylinder lift lever raises and lowers the cylinder and cutting head. After setting the
slide plate to proper height, use the cylinder lift lever to set blade to proper cutting angle.
• To raise the cutting head, pull back
on the cylinder lift lever.
• To lower the cutting head, push the cylinder lift lever forward
.
• Continuing to push the cylinder lift lever forward will adjust the angle of the cutting
head. This will also jack up the front of the machine for maintenance purposes.
