STARTING THE DIESEL ENGINE
Push the throttle lever halfway (fig. 1A, n. 1) and make sure that the lever to switch off the engine
(fig. 1A, n. 13) is turned fully upwards. To switch on the engine equipped with recoil starter pull
hard in the recoil starter handle (fig. 1A, n. 3)
STARTING THE MACHINE
Make sure the reverse gear lever (fig. 1A, n. 6) is positioned on the forward gear (see reverse

12) and subsequently pressing the red clutch lever (fig. 1A, n. 2A).
CAUTION: THE BLADES WILL IMMEDIATELY ENGAGE IF THE RIGHT PTO LEVER IS
RELEASED (fig. 1B, n. 9).
Both the machine and the blades top when the red clutch lever (fig. 1A, n. 2A) is released, the
engine keeps on running and the clutch lever comes back into "STOP" position (fig. 1A, n. 2).
STARTING WORK
To engage the cutting bar unlock the PTO lever on the right side of the handlebar (fig. 1B, n. 9) by
pressing the grey button on the lever.
IMPORTANT: when the right lever (fig. 1B, n. 9) is PRESSED the PTO is NOT engaged and
the attachment is off, when the lever is RELEASED the PTO is ON and the attachment starts
rotating (see PTO label – fig. 1)
CAUTION: When the cutting bar is on hold your hands and feet away.
Important: Do not use the machine whilst only partially depressing the red lever or damage to the
clutch may result.
To disengage the cutting bar press the lever on the right side of the handlebar (fig. 1B, n. 9) until
you hear the grey safety device locking.
IN CASE OF DANGER IMMEDIATELY RELEASE THE RED LEVER ON THE LEFT SIDE OF
THE HANDLEBAR (fig. 1A, n. 2).
BOTH THE MACHINE AND THE CUTTING BAR WILL IMMEDIATELY STOP.

gear is engaged (see reverse gear label – fig. 1).

HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the height of the handlebar unlock the appropriate lever (fig. 1A, n. 8), raise or lower the
handlebar and then release the lever to lock its position. To turn the handlebar use the lever (fig.
1A, n. 10), turn the handlebar to right or to the left and then release the lever to lock its position.
