OPERATING THE TRACTOR 1.18 1.18 SAFETY NOTICE WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Before operating the equipment it is essential that; - The operator reads and understands all safety instructions and symbols. - The operator is familiar with the controls. - The daily maintenance checks have been properly carried out and the equipment is in good working order. - The operator should wear safety clothing and eye protection. Failure to do so could result in risk to health and safety.
OPERATING THE TRACTOR 1.19 1.19 BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE Check Oil Level: Note: The engine was filled with oil at the factory. Oil Type: SAE30 Engine oil, classified for service - ‘SF’ minimum. Fuel Type: Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days. Never mix oil with petrol. For added engine protection, Briggs and Stratton recommend the use of their fuel additive which is available from authorised Briggs and Stratton Service dealers.
OPERATING THE TRACTOR 1.20 1.20 SEAT POSITION The seat can be adjusted forward or backwards. Raise the seat (1), loosen the adjuster knobs (2), adjust the seat to the desired position and re-tighten the adjuster knobs. Lower the seat. IMPORTANT - Ensure that the adjuster knobs are fully tightened before operation. 2 2 1 1. Seat 2. Adjuster Knobs HEADLIGHTS The lights are an integral function of the ignition switch. Turn the ignition key to the them on.
1.21 OPERATING THE TRACTOR 1.21 CUTTERDECK LEVEL SETTING WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Remove the ignition key and disconnect the spark plug lead before making any adjustments. To level the cutterdeck: Ensure that the tractor is on a firm and level surface. Ensure that the parking brake is engaged. Check that tyre pressures are within prescribed limits. Ensure that all four cutterdeck anti-scalp wheels are in their highest position.
1.22 OPERATING THE TRACTOR 1.22 THROTTLE CONTROL Operate the throttle control in a forward direction to increase engine speed. Operate the throttle control in a rearward direction to reduce engine speed. Note that the engine speed will dictate the speed of other functions, i.e. travel and cutterblade speed. NOTE: It should only be necessary to push the lever to the ‘Fast’ position before starting a warm engine. Use the choke to start a cold engine.
1.23 OPERATING THE TRACTOR 1.23 FUEL FILLER CAP Clean grass and other debris from around the filler cap and neck of the tank before removing the cap for re-fuelling. WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - The fuel filler cap must not be removed whilst the engine is running. IMPORTANT: The fuel filler cap must be secured to prevent fuel leakage during operation. ENGINE OIL FILLER CAP Clean grass and other debris from around the filler cap before removing it.
1.24 OPERATING THE TRACTOR 1.24 STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE Starting: Open the fuel shut-off valve located between the fuel tank and the engine. The knob should align with the fuel hose in the open position. 1. Sit on the tractor seat. 2. Ensure that both the cutterdeck and sweeper drive switches are in the ‘Off’ position and that the parking brake is engaged. NOTE: The engine will not start if any of the conditions above are not satisfied. 3.
1.25 OPERATING THE TRACTOR 1.25 SWEEPER DRIVE SWITCH The sweeper/collector drive switch engages and disengages drive to the sweeper brush. Engage Drive - Pull the sweeper drive switch out. Disengage Drive - Push the sweeper drive switch in. Engage Disengage SWEEPER WORKING HEIGHT SETTING The sweeper working height lever is used to raise and lower the sweeper brush to the desired working height.
1.26 OPERATING THE TRACTOR 1.26 SWEEPER COLLECTOR LIFT LEVER The sweeper collector can be lifted for transport and lowered into work by means of the lift lever situated to the right of the seat. Raising the lever will lower the sweeper collector to the ground. Allow the lever to fall back until it rests on the front of the sweeper collector housing.
1.27 OPERATING THE TRACTOR 1.27 ATTACHING/DETACHING THE SWEEPER COLLECTOR - Whilst the sweeper collector is in this position fit the drive belt. Fitment of the belt will be easier if the sweeper collector is pushed forwards so that the upper linkage pins engage the recesses immediately below the linkage hooks. - Remove the tool tray which is situated under the seat. Place the drive belt over the sweeper clutch and engage into the pulley. continued. Fig.
MAINTENANCE 1.28 1.28 MAINTENANCE Regular maintenance is essential for the continued safe operation of the machine. Correct servicing will prolong the working life of the machine and safeguard the "Hayter Warranty". Always fit genuine 'Hayter service parts' as these are accurately matched to the required duty.
1.29 MAINTENANCE 1.29 ENGINE With the tractor on a level surface check that the engine has been filled with the correct grade of oil (SAE 30 engine oil) and to the recommended level - never overfill. Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded premium petrol. If the tank is more than 1/3rd full of old untreated petrol, drain and then refill. If less than 1/3rd full of old untreated fuel, top up completely with new premium unleaded petrol. Move the throttle control to the ‘Fast’ position.
MAINTENANCE 1.30 1.30 ENGINE OIL IMPORTANT: Always read and follow the engine manufacturer’s instructions on all matters relating to use and maintenance. Observe the oil change intervals as this will greatly enhance the service life of your engine. The engine oil should be changed after the first 5 hours of operation. - Start the engine and allow it to idle until warm. This will usually take about 5 minutes. - Switch off the engine and raise the engine cover. Clean around the oil filler cap and remove.
1.31 MAINTENANCE 1.31 FUEL AND CARBURATION Filling the fuel tank: - Clean around the filler cap and neck of the fuel tank before filling. - Fill with fresh unleaded petrol from a clean container. - If a funnel is used ensure that it is clean. WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Never attempt to fill the fuel tank with fuel in the vicinity of a naked flame or where there is a risk of a spark igniting the petrol.
1.32 MAINTENANCE 1.32 BATTERY The seated battery is located within the engine compartment beneath the fuel tank. With care this, will last for many years. WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Take care to ensure that metal objects are prevented from coming into contact with the battery terminals and bodywork. Ensure that the screw down terminal connectors are tightly secured. Loose fittings may cause sparking. Regularly clean the terminals and coat with petroleum jelly.
1.33 MAINTENANCE 1.33 TYRES AND WHEELS The tractor is fitted with grassland tyres designed to provide optimum traction with minimum turf marking. For a good tractive performance check: - That the tyres are in good condition. - That the tyres are inflated to the recommended pressures. - That ground speed is suited to the conditions. Removing a front wheel: WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Position the tractor on a firm, level surface and engage the parking brake before attempting to remove a wheel.
1.34 MAINTENANCE 1.34 LUBRICATION General: All bearings used on the tractor and sweeper collector are seated for life, except where specific greasing instructions are given. Grease Points: Use a good quality medium grease. Lubricate the following on a monthly basis: Front wheel bearings: Grease nipples are located on the inside faces of the wheels adjacent to the stub axles. Turn the wheels to full lock to gain access. Front inclined stub axle pivot brushes: Grease nipples.
1.35 MAINTENANCE 1.35 CUTTERDECK Replacing Primary Drive Belt: - Refer to the ‘Cutterdeck Level Setting’ procedure. - Move the height of cut lever to the deck levelling position. - Loosen the primary drive belt to the deck by releasing it from the drive tension pulley. - Remove the primary drive belt and replace. - Follow the remainder of the cutterdeck levelling procedure to ensure correct set-up and operation. Replacing the Secondary Drive Belt: - Follow the cutterdeck removal procedure.
1.36 CUTTERDECK MAINTENANCE 1.36 Continued. Cutterdeck Removal: - Refer to the ‘Cutterdeck Lever Setting’ procedure and move the height of cut lever to the deck levelling position. - Remove the R-clips and washers from the rear suspension brackets. - Remove the R-clips and washers from the rear lift links. - Disconnect the extension spring from the chassis. - Remove the R-clip from the hanger rod. Push the hanger rod through and then withdraw from between the hanger brackets.
1.37 MAINTENANCE 1.37 POWERED SWEEPER COLLECTOR Replacement of the Primary Drive Belt: - Refer to the ‘Attaching/Detaching the Sweeper Collector’. - Follow the procedure and detach the sweeper collector sufficiently to allow removal of the primary drive belt. - Fit a replacement drive belt and re-attach the sweeper collector as described.
