of starting a fire.
6. Do not use the machine without the side deflector in place.
Do not use the machine on lawns with gradients of more than 15° (27%).
Do not use the machine on lawns with side gradients above 10° (18%).
If the machine is likely to be used mostly on sloping ground fit counterweights
beneath the cross-member of the front wheels. These improve stability at the front
and reduce the chances of tipping over.
All the references relating to the positions of controls are described
in CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS.
WHY THE SAFETY DEVICES CUT IN
The safety devices work in two ways:
1. They prevent the engine from starting if all the safety requirements have not been
met.
2. The safety devices stop the engine if any of the safety requirements is not met.
a) To start the engine, it is necessary that:
▪ The blades are not engaged.
▪ The parking brake is engaged, and the transmission is disengaged.
▪ The operator sits on the seat.
b) The engine stops when:
▪ The operator leaves his seat while mowing or driving.
DIRECTIONS 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
SEAT ADJUSTMENT
To change the seat position, loosen the four fixing bolts and slide it along the slots.
Once you have found the right position, tighten the four screws.
TIRE PRESSURE
Having the right tire pressure is the main condition for ensuring that the cutting
deck is horizontal and mows evenly.
Unscrew the valve caps and connect a compressed air line with a gauge to the
valves.
