CABLE ROTOR CONTROLOn cable rotor control machines the rotor is operated by the lever shown below – from theupright ‘off’ position pushing the lever forward switches the rotor on for downhill cutting andpulling the lever backwards switches the rotor on for uphill cutting. The small pivot lockinglever mounted on the side of the control assembly rotates through 180° to lock the rotor ina specific cutting direction – this is a safety feature to avoid changes of rotor directionwithout first stopping the rotor. To change the direction of cut the rotor lever must beplaced in the upright ‘off’ position; when the rotor has stopped rotating completely the pivotlocking lever can be turned to the opposing position allowing the control lever to beoperated for opposite cutting direction.On some cable operated machines the rotor control lever will be assembled as part of themain bank of controls, whereas on others and all electric models it will be supplied as a‘standalone’ unit with its own mounting bracket.UPHILL CUTTINGLockDOWNHILL CUTTINGLockCAUTION: Ensure the rotor has stopped turning completely before attempting to changedirection - When switched off a rotor can continue to ‘freewheel’ under its own momentumfor up to 40 seconds before stopping.26
ELECTRIC SWITCHBOX CONTROLSMachines with Electric Switchbox Controls will be s upplied with one of the control unitsshown below, the particular version will be dependent on the spec ification of the machine;machines fitted with c able rotor control will use the unit shown left whilst machines wit helectric rotor control will use the unit shown right – the only differences between the unit sis that the latter has 2 addition switches fitted for operation of the electric rotor control.Cable Rotor Control Version▼Electric Rotor Control Version▼LOCATION & FUNCTION OF CONTROLS1.
