neutral («N»);
– disengage the blade;
– on slopes, engage the parking brake:
Afterwards:
– put the accelerator lever to «CHOKE», as shown on the
label, if the engine is cold. If the engine is already warm, put
the lever between «SLOW» and «FAST»;
– put in the key and turn to «ON» to make electrical contact,
then turn to «START» to start the engine. Release once the
engine has started.
When the engine is running, put the accelerator into the
«SLOW» position.
IMPORTANT
The choke must be closed as soon as
the engine is running smoothly. Using it when the engine is
already warm can foul the spark plugs and cause the engine
to run erratically.
NOTE
If there are engine starting problems, do
not insist as you can risk running the battery flat and flooding
the engine. Turn the key to «OFF», wait for a few seconds
and then repeat the operation. If the malfunction persists,
refer to the engine manual and chapter «8» in this manual.
IMPORTANT
Always bear in mind that the safety de-
vices prevent the engine from starting if safety requirements
have not been met ( 5.3.7).
In these cases, once the situation has been corrected, the
key must first be turned back to «OFF» before the engine
can be restarted.

WARNING!
The machine has not been approved
for use on public roads. It has to be used (as indicated
by the highway code) in private areas closed to traffic.

«FAST» positions, and the gear change lever in the 1st
speed position.

accelerator and gear lever. To change the gear speed the
clutch must be used pushing the pedal down half way.
