Parking Brake; Differential Lock - Grillo CLIMBER 8.22 Manuel D'utilisation

– The lever (2, fig. 3) is also used to reverse. When it is moved back, the machine moves backwards;
always operate it gently.
FRONT BRAKE
The front brake (4, fig. 1) must be used only as emergency brake when driving downhill in order to
avoid the machine sliding. If you use it together with the differential lock, the machine is steadier,
above all in slope conditions. In normal conditions, to slow down and brake you only need to use the
forward lever. To adjust the cables use the adjusters (fig. 24). If the operator pushes the brake pedal,
the forward lever goes back to neutral position.

PARKING BRAKE

To engage the parking brake lift the lever located under the seat (fig. 1, no. 7) and hook it. To adjust
the parking brake use the adjusting device (fig. 24). If the operator moves the forward lever when the
parking brake is engaged, a warning buzzer goes on.

DIFFERENTIAL LOCK

The differential lock pedal is the one indicated in fig. 1 no. 5. Press the differential lock pedal in case
of driving-wheels skidding. It is advisable to use the lock also sloping down and in steep slant to keep
both the driving-wheels in adhesion. CAUTION: Do not use the differential lock when turning.
HOUR METER
The machine is equipped with the an hour-meter with three different functions:
1) It always shows the no. of hours worked, even when the key is not inserted.
2) It displays the no. of hours to the next engine oil change (OIL CHANGE IN...HS). The first oil
change must be carried out after the first 20 working hours than every 100 working hours. The
indicator "OIL CHANGE" flashes automatically when it is necessary to change the oil.
3) It displays the no. of hours to the next lubrication (LUBE IN...HS). Lubrication must be carried out
every 40 working hours. The indicator "LUBE" flashes automatically when lubrication must be carried
out.
By pushing the white button you can choose the function to be displayed on the hour meter.
4) To reset the hour-meter after the engine oil change or after lubrication proceed as follows:
Push the button until the relative alarm will flash (OIL CHANGE IN...HS or LUBE IN...HS). Then keep
the button pushed for 6 seconds until the alarm stops flashing.
USEFUL RULES FOR EFFICIENT USE
1) Never strain the engine: when fumes are emitted from the exhaust it means that it is being
strained. Slow down.
2) Do not leave the machine out in the rain.
3) Frequently sharpen the mower blades: the cut will be better and the engine will not be strained too
much.
4) Check the land before mowing to make sure that there are no stones, sticks or foreign bodies.
5) Keep the engine at peak rpm during mowing, adjust the speed according to the height of the grass.
6) Keep the grids above the engine and the cooling fins of the hydraulic motor (fig. 4 – 6)
clean.
CUTTING POSITIONS
The cutting position is adjusted using the lever, by shifting it towards the operator and then by
choosing the desired cutting height (fig. 2, no. 8). The deck can be set at infinite cutting positions from
35 to 110 mm and one travel position in which the blade disengages automatically. In case of uneven
ground, humps or dips, the deck should be kept in the highest cutting position to prevent knocks by
the blade.
