5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5.1 SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

WARNING!
Read the safety operating
instructions (see 5.5) if the equipment will
mainly be used on sloping land (never over
10 degrees.
IMPORTANT TAll the references relating to
the positions of controls are those described in
chapter 4.

5.2 WHY THE SAFETY DEVICES CUT IN

The safety devices work in two ways:
–    t hey prevent the engine from starting if all the 
safety requirements have not been met;
–    b y stopping the engine if even just one of the 
safety requirements is lacking.
a)  To start the engine, it is necessary that:
–    t he transmission is in "neutral";
–    a ll the cutting means are correctly in place;
– the operator is seated.
b) The engine stops when:
– the operator leaves his seat;
–    t he grass catcher is lifted when the cutting 
means are engaged;
–    t he cutting means is engaged without the 
grass catcher in place;
–    t he parking brake is engaged without disen-
gaging the cutting means.
–    t he drive pedal is activated (see 4.22) with the 
parking brake on.
5.3 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
BEFORE STARTING WORK
Before starting to mow, it is necessary to carry 
out several checks and operations to ensure 
you can work efficiently and in maximum safety.
5.3.1 Seat adjustment (Fig. 5.1)
To change the seat position, loosen the four fix-
ing bolts (1) and slide it along the slots.
Once you have found the right position, tighten 
the four
 screws (1) thoroughly.
5.3.2 Tyre pressure (Fig. 5.2)
Having the right tyre pressure is the main condi-
tion for ensuring that the cutting-means assem-
bly is horizontal and mows evenly.
Unscrew the valve caps and connect a com-
pressed air line with a gauge to the valves and 
adjust the pressure to the indicated values.
5.3.3 Filling with oil and fuel
NOTE The type of oil and fuel to use is given
in the engine manual.
To reach the oil dipstick,  turn the seat over and 
remove the cover underneath.
With the engine off, check the oil level. Accord-
ing to the instructions in the engine manual, this 
must be between the MIN and MAX marks on 
the dipstick. Fig. 5.3)
Refuel using a funnel, but do not completely fill 
the tank. Fig. 5.4).
DANGER!
out in an open or well-ventilated area with
engine stopped. Always remember that pet-
rol fumes are inflammable. DO NOT TAKE A
NAKED FLAME TO THE TANK'S OPENING
IN ORDER TO SEE THE TANK'S CONTENTS
AND DO NOT SMOKE WHEN REFUELLING.
IMPORTANT Do not drip petrol onto the plas-
tic parts to avoid ruining them. In the event of ac-
cidental leaks, rinse immediately with water. The
warranty does not cover for damage to plastic
parts of the bodywork or the engine caused by
petrol.
5.3.4 Preparing the machine and fitting
the exit guards (grass catcher or
side discharge chute)
NOTE This machine lets you mow lawns in dif-
ferent ways, according to the fitted attachments.
The attachments mentioned here may be part
of the original equipment or may be purchased
afterwards. Before starting work, prepare the ma-
chine based on how the lawn is to be mowed.
DO THIS WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF.
WARNING!
out having fitted the exit guards!
• Preparation for grass cutting and
collection in the grass catcher (Fig. 5.5)
