Ensure the vehicle used to lift and transport the TRM120 has the necessary lifting and loading
capacity. Follow all vehicle manufactures guidelines for lifting. Unladen weights are clearly
marked on the Manufactures plate attached to the TRM120 deck. Check the lifting weight
complies with the vehicle lifting limits
When lifting the TRM120 for transporting / delivery purposes always ensure to locate the lifting
straps on each of the four corners ensuring the straps/chains are all the same length before
lifting, or if using forklift tines ensure the mower is secure on the tines before lifting.
The LOGIC TRM ROTARY MOWER is designed to give safe and dependable service if
operated according to instructions and intended use.
Read and understand this manual before operating the mower, as failure to do so could result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
The amount of grass or weeds to be cut dictates the forward speed; slow forward speeds give
better results in most cases. Ensure you follow the procedure below.
NORMAL FORWARD SPEED (1 kph - very heavy use - 10 kph - very light use)
Start off in the slowest speed possible; ensure the mower is working efficiently with the engine
set at maximum RPM and not labouring. (If this is not possible due to very heavy cutting
conditions, raise cutting height of blades and be prepared to go over twice with machine set
lower on 2nd pass, leave at least 24 hours in between 1st and 2nd cut to allow grass to dry out)
Increase forward speed until the RPM of the engine starts to slow down (This is working the
engine too hard for conditions) - slow down, let the engine regain full RPM and go through the
same process but stop short of speed which made engine labour previously. It is important
always to listen to note of engine to ensure engine and mower are working efficiently, slow
down or stop once engine starts to labour.
FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL RESULT IN CLUTCH SLIP AND
ULTIMATELY SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE CLUTCH AND DRIVE BELTS.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

When moving from normal working conditions to heavier cutting, it may be evident that
the engine dies down and loses revs. SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATELY to allow the engine revs
to build up again to normal working speed if engine does not recover stop the engine
immediately by using the kill switch cord remove the blockage and follow all engine staring
procedures. Follow the procedure detailed above in “Normal Forward Speed”. Expected
forward speed will be much lower in heavy conditions.
