To Reverse; Transporting; Cutting - Ransomes Commander 3520 Manual De Seguridad, Funcionamiento Y Mantenimiento

7.8 TO REVERSE _________________________________________________________

The rear of the footpedal should be depressed gently to obtain reverse motion of the machine.
NOTE: DO NOT move footpedal violently from forward to reverse or vice versa. Always operate slowly & smoothly.

7.9 TRANSPORTING ______________________________________________________

Transport speed is for highway use only. Never select transport speed or 2 wheel drive on grass areas or uneven
or unsurfaced roads or tracks. Transporting should always be carried out in 2 wheel drive.
The cutting units should be restrained in the raised position with the safety catches.
1. Start the engine and set the throttle lever to full speed position.
2. Release the parking brake and after ensuring that the pedal control lever is in the transport position,
depress the upper pad of the footpedal. The machine will then move forward.
3. Continue to push down on the foot until the desired speed of the machine is reached.
The foot should always be kept firmly on the pedal to maintain full control of the drive pedal.

7.10 CUTTING _____________________________________________________________

1. Select the desired cylinder speed. To cut longer grass particularly at higher heights of cut reduce the
cylinder speed. Lower cylinder speeds will produce a more efficient cut in longer grass conditions. In short
grass conditions maximum cylinder speed may be used to give a finer cut if required.
2. Start the engine and set the throttle control lever to the full operating speed position.
3. Ensure that the pedal control lever is in the cutting position.
4. After first checking that the safety catches have been released lower the cutting units to the ground.
5. Engage the cutting cylinder drive by moving the lever forwards.
6. Depress the mow foot switch to start the cutting cylinders rotating.
7. Release the parking brake and gently press down on the upper pad of the footpedal for forward motion.
The foot should always be kept firmly on the pedal to maintain full control of the drive pedal.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When cutting the engine throttle control lever should always be set at the "maximum"
operating speed position.
This will ensure efficient operation, fuel economy, minimum cylinder and bottom blade wear and the cleanest cut
in difficult conditions. If the engine starts to labour, the forward speed of the machine should be reduced by means
of the footpedal.
