CHECKING MACHINE SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY
1. Check that the safety devices function as described.
2. Check that the brake is in perfect working order.
3. Do not start mowing if the blades vibrate or if you are unsure whether they are
sharp enough.
Always remember that:
1. A badly sharpened blade pulls at the grass and causes the lawn to turn yellow.
2. A loose blade causes unwanted vibrations and can be dangerous.
Do not use the machine if you are unsure whether it is working safely or
efciently. If in doubt, contact your authorized service provider immediately to make
the necessary checks and repairs.
HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION DISENGAGEMENT LEVER
This lever has two positions as shown on
the label:
«A» = Transmission engaged: for all
uses, when moving and during cutting.
«B» = Transmission disengaged:
This makes it much easier to move the
machine by hand, with the engine
stopping.
OPERATIONS
STARTING
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT EXHAUST GASES ARE TOXIC!
The engine must be started in an open or well-ventilated area!
The choke must be opened 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.
If there are engine starting problems, do not persist as you can risk running the
battery at and ooding 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.
