STARTING UP THE ENGINE
-
Sit down on the operator seat.
- Put the forward lever into the STOP position (2, fig. 3).
- Switch off the PTO (switch no. 4, fig.1 in the OFF position).
- Push the throttle half way in (5, fig. 3).
- If the engine is cold, use the choke (6, fig. 3). Turn the ignition key (1, fig. 1).
- Once the engine has started, turn off the choke and wait for a few minutes to allow the engine
warm up.
N.B. When travelling with the mower from one place to another, you are advised to keep the cutting deck
at the maximum height setting.
SWITCHING ON THE HEADLAMP
To switch on the headlamp, put the ignition key in the second position (fig.18, position A)
IMPORTANT
Switch on the headlamp only once the engine has started up to avoid battery discharge.
STARTING WORK
–
Choose the desired cutting height by means of the lever 8 fig. 2. Suitably accelerate the engine and
engage the PTO lever (no. 4, fig.1). Gently operate the forward travel lever (2, fig. 3) and start work.
To stop, return the forward travel lever to the stop position.
– The lever (2, fig. 3) is also used to reverse. When it is moved back, the machine moves backwards;
always operate it gently.
PARKING BRAKE
To engage the parking brake lift the loop up (10, fig. 3) and hook the lever.
To adjust the parking brake use the register (fig. 5).
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 as
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 grilles above the engine and the cooling fins of the hydrostatic axle (fig. 4 - 5) clean.
CUTTING POSITIONS
The cutting position is adjusted using the lever 8 fig. 2.
The deck can be set in 4 different cutting positions from 35 to 80 mm and one travel position in which the
blade disengages automatically.
