Power assisting with mower
1.
When starting the engine it is unconditionally necessary to disengage and secure the
clutch lever by means of which the clutch of the power assist wheels is disengaged
(see Figure 4).
In gear boxes provided with drive which can be disengaged, disengage the drive by
means of a pull-rod.
2.
Start the engine. At the same time follow the operating instructions for the driving
unit.
Stand by the right-hand handlebar grip when starting the engine. Operate the
accelerator lever with your left hand, start the engine with the use of the starting cord
with your right hand. When starting the engine stand so as to maintain a safe distance
from the rotating mowing disk which is given by the axis of the gearbox power assist
wheels.
3.
Grasp the handlebars, then depress the power assist clutch lever and put arrest of the
clutch lever out of operation.
Increase the engine speed by using the accelerator lever.
Disengage the lever. Now, the power assist wheels are connected with the drive. The
machine is put in motion. Work always with maximum engine speed.
4.
If you wish to stop, first decrease the engine speed.
Never disengage the clutch lever at high engine speeds - at which the engine has
maximum capacity and torque. The design of the clutch for engaging wheel power
assist enables the clutch to be disengaged only at lower engine speeds - when the
centrifugal clutch does not transmit a high power output and torque to the gear box.
Repeated moving off should be carried out in accordance with paragraph
3
.
At the machine shut down set the accelerator lever in the position of non-load speed
and let the clutch lever disengaged. In this way, the machine is secured against
spontaneous movement.
Warning:
During mowing it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the bottom disk is
continuously pressed down against the ground and does not rebound. The rebounding
of the disk results in a sloppy mowing of the vegetation and uneven stubble field.
In particular, it is necessary to take care of pressing down the disk when mowing in an
uneven terrain!
