BATTERY

Caution! The gases released by the battery are explosive, so keep it away from naked flames or sparks. Check the level of the

liquid at regular intervals and keep the terminals greased with Vaseline. Important: Do not invert the battery poles. Do not run

the lawnmower without the battery, as it is equipped with a charge regulator. Be careful not to cause any short circuits.

RUNNING IN – CAUTION!!

Change the engine oil and filter after the first 50 hours of work. Check for oil leaks or loose screws, especially those that retain

the blades and the wheels. Adjust the tension on the PTO belts with the nut located on the spring: the spring has to be adjusted

at 65 mm of length from bushing to bushing (see red arrow) (fig. 5, ref. A). Adjust the loading accelerator belt tension with the nut

located on the spring: the spring has to be adjusted at 70 mm of length (see red arrow) (fig. 6, ref. B).

Before turning on the engine always check that:

the radiator liquid is up to the level (fig. 7);

the engine cooling intake grids are clear (fig. 8);

the engine oil is up to the level (fig. 14, ref. C);

the hydraulic oil is up to the level (fig. 4);

the forward and reverse pedals (fig. 1 n° 1 e n°2) are in the stop position;

the PTO button is in the neutral position (fig. 1 n°26);

the air filter is clean (fig. 9);

the grid inside the grass catcher is clean (fig. 10); to take it out, put in the cover safety block (fig. 17) and act on the lever (fig.

10, ref. B);

the cutting deck, the loading accelerator and the grass entry ducts are clean.

Fill the fuel tank with fuel (diesel oil) using a funnel fitted with a very fine mesh filter (fig. 7).

STARTING THE ENGINE

Insert the ignition key (fig. 1 n° 4); turn it to warm-up the glow plugs. When the plug light goes out (after approximately 15

seconds), turn the key again and release it as soon as the engine starts. To switch off the engine turn the key to the "0" position.

STARTING WORK

Lift the deck from the ground.

Adjust the cutting height using the button (fig.1 n° 12).

Adjust the seat (fig. 1 n° 15, 16, 17, 18) and the steering wheel positions (fig. 1 n° 10).

Put the cutting deck down (fig. 1 n° 9).

Accelerate the engine half way (fig. 1 n° 6). Do not engage the blades with the engine at maximum speed, but

half speed and then engage the PTO (fig. 1 n° 26). Attention: While mowing the button has to be kept in floating position.

The accelerator exclusion button ON/OFF (fig. 1 n° 11) has to be on OFF. Always engage the blades some metres before

getting into the area to cut, so both the cutting deck and the grass entry ducts are cleaned.

Gently press the forward pedal (fig. 1 n° 1) and start work. Use the pedal next to it (fig. 1 n° 2) for the reverse gear.

The emergency brake pedal (fig. 1 n° 3) must be used only if there is a real emergency. Normally just release the forward

or reverse pedals to stop the machine (fig. 1 n° 1 e n° 2).

When the grass catcher is full, a sensor automatically disengages the blades rotation to avoid blocking up the

entry duct; pressing the button (fig. 1 n° 8), the grass-catcher is lifted upwards and operating the button next to it (fig. 1 n° 7), the

grass-catcher is emptied.

To start work again, disengage the PTO by pushing the switch off and then switch it on again (fig. 1 n°26).

FINISHING WORK

Once mowing has been completed, disengage the blades. To stop:

Remove your foot from the forward or reverse pedal (fig. 1 n° 1 or n° 2).

Set the throttle lever to minimum speed.

Lower the cutting deck to the ground

Stop the engine by turning the key in the "0" position and engage the parking brake (fig. 1 n° 3 and 5).

GUIDELINES FOR EFFECTIVE USE

The machine can also be used under harsh conditions without any risk of jamming up. Certain measures must be taken and all

devices must be adjusted properly.

Before starting work check that the deck and the entry ducts are perfectly clean without any dried grass or soil.

Check the ground before mowing, that there are no stones, sticks or foreign objects.

While mowing keep the engine at maximum revs., adjust the speed to suit the height of the grass. Be careful when coming

across tall thick clumps of grass, slow down.

Sharpen the lawnmower blades regularly; the cut will be better and the engine will not be strained too much (fig. 11).

After having emptied the grass from the catcher, always engage the blades some metres before getting into the grass to

cut, so both the cutting deck and grass entry ducts are cleaned and the clutch is protected.

Keep the grid in front of the radiator clean (fig. 8).

Keep the grid at the inside of the grass catcher clean: to take it out, put in the safety block (fig. 17) and act on the lever (fig.

10, ref. B).

If the grass is wet or very tall, do not cut in the lowest position, but at a mid-way height.

Check the tension on the belts that activate the deck; using the adjuster if necessary (fig. 5, ref. A).

10)

Check that the blades are not worn, especially the fins that push the grass into the entry duct.
