Finishing Work - Grillo FD 2200 stage 5 Manuel D'utilisation

FD2200 stage 5/ Translation of the original instructions
Always engage the blades some metres before getting into the grass to cut, so to make sure both the cutting
deck and the grass entry ducts get cleaned and that the clutch is not strained.
6)Gently press the speed presetting pedal (fig. 1 no. 1) and start work. The pedal (fig. 1 no. 2) is the reverse
gear.
7)When the grass catcher is full, a sensor automatically disengages the blades rotation to avoid blocking up
the grass entry ducts; using the lever (fig. 1 no. 8), the basket is lifted upwards and operating the lever (fig. 1
no. 9), the basket is emptied.
8)To start work again, switch both turbine and PTO off to disengage them and press the two push buttons
again to turn them on.

FINISHING WORK

Once mowing has been completed, disengage the blades and the turbine. To stop:
1)Lift the foot up from the feed pedal (fig. 1 no. 1 or no. 2).
2)Set the throttle lever to minimum speed.
3)Lower the cutting deck to the ground.
4)Turn the engine off turning the key in the "0" (fig. 2, no. 4) position and apply the parking brake (fig. 1 no.
11).
GUIDELINES FOR EFFECTIVE USE
The machine can also be used under most demanding conditions without any risk of jamming up.
The following measures must be taken and all devices must be adjusted properly.
1)Before starting work check that the deck and the entry ducts are perfectly clean without any dried grass or
soil crusting.
2)Check the terrain before mowing, make sure there are no stones, sticks or foreign objects.
3)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.
4)Sharpen the lawnmower blades regularly (fig. 13); the cut will be better and the engine will not have to
work so hard.
5)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.
6)Keep the pull-out grid in front of the radiator clean.
7)Keep the grass catcher grid clean: before taking it out, apply the safety block (fig. 9, ref. A).
8)If the grass is wet or very tall, do not cut in the lowest position, but at an intermediate height.
9)Check the tension on the belts that work the deck; use 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.
11)Check the loading accelerator vanes for wear.
12)Check that no foreign objects have clogged the accelerator impeller.
13)Check the rotation of the duct inside the grass catcher.
14)Check that the blades disengage automatically when the grass catcher is full; to do this, turn the ignition
key, turn on the panel without starting the engine, engage the PTO switch (fig. 2 no. 8) and touch with a
hand the lever fitted on the duct sensor (fig. 14). The PTO should now disengage.
15)Check the engine revs. (max. 3150 r.p.m. at no load).
16)Always mow with the engine at maximum revs; if the engine revs drop, slow down for a while to allow the
engine to reach the right level again.
17)Check that the blades are fitted properly.
18)Check that the cutting deck fits correctly and is aligned inside the loading accelerator.
19)CAUTION! For a comfortable driving, the feed and reverse gear pedals (fig. 1no. 1 and no.2) are fitted
with servo-control on the pump, during work on slopes press the pedal without straining the engine.
20)The lawnmower FD2200 is a hydrostatic machine, so it absorbs more power when cold; after e few
minutes the efficiency will be optimal. We inform you that the changeable delivery pump and the hydrostatic
engines are of optimal quality and high efficiency: the minimal loss is 5%.
21)The emergency brake pedal (fig. 1 no. 3) must be used only if there is a real emergency. Normally just
release the feed and the reverse pedals to stop the machine (fig. 1 no. 1 and no. 2).
22)CAUTION! Do not transfer the machine with lifted cutting deck. Use the cutting deck hydraulic lifter only
to get over obstacles, mount on pavements or on kerbs. It is compulsory, instead, to travel on public streets
with a type-approved machine, endowed with a lights system, a plate, with the cutting deck up and with an
empty grass catcher.
