and moving the accelerator.
WARNING!
as described below (see 4.32) to prevent
sudden engagement from causing tipping
up and loss of control of the vehicle, par-
ticularly on slopes.
5.4.3 Braking
First reduce the machine's speed by reducing
the engine's r.p.m., and then press the brake
pedal (see 4.21 or 4.31) to slow down the ma-
chine until it stops.
Hydrostatic transmission:
The machine already slows down consider-
ably by just releasing the drive pedal.

the cutting means engaged, it is necessary to
press and hold the consent button (see 4.7) so
as not to cause the engine to stop.
Mechanical transmission

5.4.5 Grass cutting

Model 102
(Fig. 5.8) Adjust the position of the anti-
chipping wheels (1) whose function is to re-
duce the risk of tearing up sections of lawn,
which can occur when the edge of the cut-
ting-means assembly drags over irregular
ground.
The four different heights of the wheels allow
you to maintain a safe distance «A» between
the cutting-means assembly and the ground.
To change position, unscrew and extract
the pin (1) and reposition the wheel (2) in
the hole higher or lower than the row corre-
sponding to the wheel diameter.
WARNING!
performed on both wheels, position-
ing them at the same height WITH THE
ENGINE OFF AND CUTTING MEANS
DISENGAGED.
To start cutting:
– move the throttle to «FAST»;
– bring the cutting-means assembly to the high-
est position;
– engage the cutting means (see 4.7) only on
grass lawns; avoid engaging them on stony
ground or when the grass is very high;
– start moving forwards on the grass very
slowly and with utmost caution, as already
described;
– regulate the cutting height and speed (see
4.8) considering the conditions of the lawn
(the height, density and dampness of the
grass).
WARNING!
ground, the forward speed must be reduced
to ensure safe conditions (see 1A-C7-8-9).
Whatever the conditions, always reduce the
speed if you notice a drop in engine speed – if
you travel too fast compared to the amount of
grass being cut, you will not be able to mow the
grass well.
Disengage the cutting means and raise the
cutting-means assembly as high as possible
whenever you need to get past an obstacle.
