and the use of equipment.

2. Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous fumes can collect.

3. Mow only in daylight or in very good artificial light.

4. Before starting the engine, disengage blade and attachment drives and make sure handbrake is engaged.

5. Take care on slopes – maximum 15º.

6. Remember, there is no such thing as a ‘safe slope’. Travel on grass slopes requires particular care to guard against overturning:

• Donotstoporstartsuddenlywhengoingupordownhill. • Engagedriveslowly.Alwayskeepthemachineindrive

when travelling up or down a slope. • Machinespeedshouldbekeptlowonslopesandin

Seat Adjustment (Fig. 1)

The seat on your tractor is adjustable forward and backwardtosuittheoperator.Simplylifttheseatlatch at the side of the seat and slide the seat forward or backward as appropriate. Always ensure the seat is latched back into position before driving off.

FortheC330Minitractorsimplylifttheseatlatchat the front of the seat and slide the seat forward or backward as appropriate (Fig. 1a).

Choke (Fig. 2)

An independent choke is fitted to some models. This choke should be used in conjunction with a fast throttle setting when starting the engine from cold. It should be cancelled as soon as possible. Do not use the choke when starting a warm engine.

Ignition (Figs. 3, 6 & 11)

The key start controls the ignition and the start button engages the starter. The engine cannot bestartedwithouttheparkbrakebeingon;the“P” light (Fig. 11) indicates the brake is engaged (notapplicabletoC330Mini).Whenstartingyourtractor from cold, turn the key to the I position (on Diesel models, an automatic timer will put the glow plugs on for 7 seconds (Fig. 6)). Once the cycle has finished press the start button to start the Tractor. Release the button when the engine starts. To stop the engine, turn the key to the left (having firstswitchedoffboththecutterandPowerTake-off).

RPM Meter (not applicable to C330 Mini) (Fig. 5)

The RPM monitor on the electronic display indicates the engine speed. This feature should be used when the cutter deck is engaged and in conjunction with the forward speed. To ensure complete cutting and collection the engine speed should not be allowed to fall below 2600rpm, the display will flash should this happen. If, when in use, the display does flash indicating that the engine speed has dropped below 2600rpm, there are two options: a) Reduce forward speed b) Raise the cutting height.

Drive Controls (Fig. 7)

The forward speed of the tractor is controlled by foot pedal ‘A’. Reversing is controlled by foot pedal ‘B’.

Moving Off / Reversing (Figs. 7 & 7a)

To move off, ensure your feet are off pedals ‘A’ and ‘B’ and then release the parking brake by pushing the hand lever ‘C’(Fig.7a)totheforwardposition.Nowgentlydepresspedal ‘A’ and you will move off. The further you depress pedal ‘A’ the faster you will go. Its function is similar to that of a car accelerator except that it controls the hydrostatic transmission and does not affect the speed of the engine. To reverse simply depress pedal ‘B’ and the tractor will begin to reverse. As with the forward pedal, the speed of reversing is increased as the pedal is pushed further.

StoppingTo stop the tractor simply release either pedal ‘A’ or ‘B’ and the natural braking of the hydrostatic system will bring the tractor to a standstill. For smooth braking release either pedal gradually, for an emergency stop remove foot rapidly.

Parking (Figs. 7 & 7a)

Remove your foot from pedals ‘A’ or ‘B’ (as you would to stop normally) and then simply pull the parking brake lever ‘C’totheuprightposition-a‘P’willbeindicatedonthedashboard display ( Fig. 11). When you turn off the engine, the natural braking of the hydrostatic system will add to the effect of the brake. It’s like leaving your car in gear.

Neutral Valve (Fig. 8)

The natural braking of hydrostatic transmission means that it is not possible to easily push or freewheel the tractor. To disengage, first make certain that the machine is on a flat even surface. Release the parking brake by moving lever ‘C’forward.LocatetheNeutralValve,situatedonthebackplatenearthetowingbracket.Engagebypullingoutthelever.Youwillnowbeabletopushthetractorataspeednot exceeding 2 mph. Make sure you disengage the Neutral ValvebypushingtheleverbackBEFOREstartingyourtractor.

Differential Lock (where fitted) (Fig. 9)

Yourtractormaybefittedwithadifferentiallock.Thisshouldonly be used in situations where one wheel is slipping and the other is not. In a situation when one wheel starts to slip and extra traction is required release the forward pedal so thewheelsstopgoingaround,depresstheDifferentialLockpedal (Fig. 9 pedal D), and then the forward pedal slowly. The differential will lock both wheels to drive at the same speed. As soon as the differential lock is not required release the engage pedal ‘D’ and as soon as the wheels are rotating at the same speed and not under load (i.e. on a slope) the lock will automatically release.

NOTE:TheheadlightswillflashwhilsttheCutterDeck is running if they are not being used. If the headlights are in use they will not flash but function as normal.

Electric Lifts (not applicable to C330 Mini) (Figs. 10 & 11)

Electric deck height adjustment (where fitted) The cutting height is adjusted by turning the rotaryswitchanti-clockwisetolowerthedeckandclockwise to raise the deck (Fig. 10). The height indicator on the electronic display (Fig. 11) shows the deck position (0 – lowest to 9 – highest). To get the best from this refinement use it to continuously adjust cutting height to suit ground and grass conditions. Do not make downward adjustments on the move until you are familiar with the height control, this will avoid “scalping” the lawn.

Shouldyourtractorbefittedwith4WDitwillhaveESA.Thisissettoanangleof25° at the factory. If this angle is exceeded then the display will flash 25° and a warning siren will sound.

The exceptional traction of 4WD will allow you to cut in very slippery conditions, and it also allows the tractor to ascend very steep slopes. If the slope alarm sounds DO NOT attempt to cut or drive at a greater angle than the one you are on. As all terrains and conditions vary, great care should be maintained when operating the tractor. DO NOT take the tractor into an area where it could become unstable.

On no account should slopes steeper than 25° be driven on.

Cutter decks

Mulch MowingMulching can save time, avoids creating piles of rotting cuttings and feeds your lawn. When Mulch mowing it is necessary to observe certain rules:

1. Reduce the height of the grass by no more than1/3rd its height in each pass. If the grass has grown long make several passes to achieve the cut height you require.

2. Run the engine at maximum speed.

3. Mow often, particularly in spring and early summer.Shortclippingsof25mm(1”)orlessdecompose more quickly.

4. If an unsightly residue of cuttings is being left – increase the cutting height.

6. Varythemowingpatternfromcuttocut.

7. Always keep the underside of the cutting deck clean to ensure good grass flow.

8. Always check that the blades are sharp and in good condition – never attempt to sharpen or replace them yourself.

High Grass Mulch Deck (Fig. 25)

The real alternative when cutting long or paddock grass is the “high grass mulch” deck. When using the high grass mulch deck please ensure the following:

1. When cutting very tall grass set the deck at thehighersettings7-9.

2. Drive forward at a speed that does not cause theenginespeedtodrop.REMEMBERiftheRPM display flashes below 2600rpm, there are two options: a) Reduce forward speed b) Raise the cutting height.

3. Regularly check the cutter deck drive belt tension in accordance with the instructions (Page 15).

Mulching (Fig. 25a)

The Mulching cutter deck has three mulching compartments.Grasscuttingsareliftedandcutseveral times. The small grass particles release nutrients back into the soil for healthy growth.

Mulch Deck (Fig. 28a)

Mulching can save time, avoids creating piles of rotting cuttings and feeds your lawn. When Mulch mowing it is necessary to observe certain rules:

1. Reduce the height of the grass by no more than1/3rd its height in each pass. If the grass has grown long make several passes to achieve the cut height you require.

2. Run the engine at maximum speed.

3. Mow often, particularly in spring and early summer.Shortclippingsof25mm(1”)orlessdecompose more quickly.

4. If an unsightly residue of cuttings is being left – increase the cutting height.

6. Varythemowingpatternfromcuttocut.

7. Always keep the underside of the cutting deck clean to ensure good grass flow.

8. Always check that the blades are sharp and in good condition – never attempt to sharpen or replace them yourself.

Rear Discharge Deck (Fig. 28b)

The rear discharge deck acts similar to the mulch deck but allows the grass trimmings to be discharged out of the back of the deck so it can be easily collected using the sweeper & net. To enable this to work, the deck is set at an angle so the trimmings are thrown into the centre of the tractor.

COMBI Deck (Fig. 28c)

This deck combines the mulch & the rear discharge all in one deck. The user has only to undo a handwheel and remove the back piece of the deck and it can be used as a rear discharge deck. This saves the time of switching decks.

We do not recommend that customers attempt to change cutting blades themselves: remember that itisneverworthwhiletohavebladesre-ground.Itischeaperandbettertoreplaceblades–re-grindingis likely to affect the hardening of the blade and its balance.

TheCutterDeckshouldbesetsothatitisparallelto the surface it is cutting with a maximum variation fromsidetoside,orfronttobackof3mm.Checkthis by placing the tractor on a hard level surface and measuring the clearance heights front to back and side to side with a steel ruler or tape, with theCuttersetoneadjustmentupfromitslowestposition.

If the Cutter Deck seems to require levelling, first check these other possible causes:

4 Are the tyres correctly inflated? – If not, rectifyusingthefiguresonpages25-27asareference.

4 AretheCutterDeckHangerBrackets(Page18, Fig. 41) moving freely or are they hitching up.Tocheckthis,lifttheCutterDecktoitshighest position and lift and rock it, watching to ensure that the brackets move freely – if not, clean and lubricate.

4 Is the front axle pivoting freely? – If not, it may require lubrication or adjustment.

4 Is there any impact damage that has bent or distortedtheDeckorSuspensionBrackets(amatter for your dealer)?

Youneedtwopeopletolevelthedeck–onetoliftthe Deck while the other removes or relocates the adjuster Trunnion.

1. EnsurethattheAnti-ScalpWheelsareallsetto the same height – if not, rectify (Fig. 40).

2. LowertheCutterDecktoapositiononeabovethe lowest setting – check levels with a ruler or tape.

3. Now locate the Front to Back Adjustment Rod to the right rear offside wheel, you will find the Trunnion (Fig. 41) that links the rod to theDeckHangerBracket.BoththeTrunnionand the Rod are threaded and adjustment is achievedbyrotatingtheTrunnionto‘in-effect’lengthen the Rod.

4. To free the Trunnion, use a 17mm spanner or socket to remove the M10 Nyloc nut and washer and push it free.

5. Rotate the Trunnion to advance it up the Rod to pivot the back of the Deck. Rotate it the other way to lift the front. Adjustment is rapid, so try one or two turns first and relocate the Trunnion and secure – then check the effect. Repeatandre-checkifnecessary.

For best results, set the Anti-Scalp Wheels in the middle adjustment holes. If you are experiencing scalping, this can be minimised by setting the wheels in the lowest adjustment holes.

Levelling Side to SideThis adjustment is best done with the deck in a position three up from its lowest cut – check the level both sides and levelling is then achieved by adjusting the left side (as you are sat on the tractor) of the deck at 2 points.

Troubleshooting (Tyres & Wheels)

Persistent flat tyresLikeallgardenmachinery,themostcommoncauseofpuncturesareTHORNS!Blackthorn,HawthornandRoseare usually at the bottom of the problem and will puncture any tyre not fitted with very expensive guards. There are less expensive ways to overcome this problem and it is advisable to check and avoid these possible causes:

The rim of the wheel has been damaged causing the seal onthetube-lesstyretobebroken.Therearetwosolutions:

4 If the damage is significant it is necessary to order a new wheel from your dealer.

4 IfyouhaveHawthorn,BlackthornorWildRoseinyour garden – this will puncture any tyre. It makes sense to check any area you intend to cut or drive over and to remove any branches.

If your tyres spin or lose grip, check: 4 That all tyres are inflated to their correct pressures

(Seepages25-27).

4 Are you going too fast for the conditions?
