Gradually release the brake pedal to engage the clutch and then begin moving in reverse.
When the machine is stopped, start the reverse movement by pressing the drive engagement pedal in the «R»
direction. (for hydro transmission model)
5.4.5 Grass cutting
To start cutting:
– move the throttle to «FAST»;
– raise the cutting deck as high as possible;
– engage the blades;
– start moving forwards on the grass very slowly and with utmost caution, as already described;
– regulate the cutting height and speed considering the conditions of the lawn. (The height, density and
dampness of the grass).
When cutting on sloping ground, reduce your speed to ensure safe operation.
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 as well.
Disengage the blades and raise the cutting deck as high as possible whenever you need to get past an obstacle.
This tractor will stop the blades when reverse is selected.
Press the override button (left of the steering wheel) to keep the blades rotating. Apply additional attention
when mowing in reverse, ensure it is safe to do so.
5.4.6 Emptying the grass-catcher
This operation can only be done with the blades disengaged, otherwise the engine stops.
Do not let the grass-catcher become too full as this may block the collector channel. When the grass-catcher is full you
will hear a sound warning. At this point:
– disengage the blades and the sound will stop;
– lower the engine speed;
– stop moving forward;
– engage the parking brake on slopes;
– pull out the overturn lever and tip up the grass-catcher to empty it;
– close the grass-catcher so that it hooks onto the pawl.
At times the audible warning may be heard when engaging
the blade, even when the grass-
catcher has been emptied. This is due to grass-cuttings left on the sensor of the micro-switch.
To stop the signal, disengage the blades and then immediately engage them again. If the warning
sound continues, stop the engine, take off the grass-catcher and remove any accumulated
grass-cuttings from the sensor.
5.4.7 Unblocking the collector channel
Cutting very tall or wet grass, particularly at excessively high speed, can clog up the collector
channel. If this happens proceed as follows:
– stop moving forward, disengage the blades and stop the engine;
– remove the grass catcher;
– remove the grass cuttings; you can reach them from the exit of the collector channel.
STOP THE ENGINE BEFORE CLEARING THE GRASS FROM THE CHUTE.
