Starting of the cutting blade is accompanied with a partial V-belt slippage and with the
accompanying phenomena such as whistling, rattling, etc. The phenomenon usually
disappears after the belt has run in.
4. After the cutting blade starts turning, press the lever completely to the handrail and hold it
firm.
Note: If the blade drive is repeatedly switched on during cutting, engine stalling may occur due to
resistance of grass biomass in the space of blade casing. This space must be - if possible - always
properly emptied when starting the blade drive (
see point 5.7.4
).
In a new or cold engine, a few of the cutting disk starts may result in engine stalling. The
phenomenon will disappear after the engine warms up. If the blade drive cannot be started even after
the engine has got warm, follow the table presented in Chapter
6.8
for diagnostics.
5.5 Machine travel forward and back
Machine travel forward and back is controlled by the upper red sheet-iron lever on
the left grip of the handlebars.
•
Travel forward: Shift into one of gears (1 - 5) by using the gear shifting level. Then press
the upper red sheet-iron lever on the left handrail completely down to the grip and the
machine will start moving forward (sometimes with a little delay due to the run-out of the
pin differential in wheels). Start walking simultaneously with the machine start, adapting
your walk pace to the direction and speed of the machine.
Be prepared that the machine can start moving with a little jerk.
Starting the machine on the 5
th
gear, let the machine start moving at about ½ of the
maximum engine speed. After the machine gets moving, set up an engine speed
convenient to the pace of your safe walking.
•
Travel back: Shift the gear shifting level to the „R“ position. Then press the upper red
sheet-iron lever on the left handrail down to the grip and the machine starts moving in
reverse direction (sometimes with a little delay due to the run-out of the pin differential in
wheels). Simultaneously with the machine start you have to start walking in the
corresponding direction and at a corresponding pace.
Be very careful when backing with the machine!
