2) Check the terrain before mowing, make sure there are no stones, sticks of foreign
objects.
3) While mowing keep the engine at maximum revs., adjust the speed to suit the height of
the grass. Be careful when coming across tall thick clumps of grass, slow down.
4) Sharpen the lawnmower blades regularly; the cut will be better and the engine will not
have to work so hard (fig. 22, ref.A)
5) After disengaging the PTO, engage the blades some metres before getting into the grass
to cut, so the cutting deck is cleaned and the clutch is protected.
6) Keep the grid on the engine clean (fig. 4, ref. C).
7) Keep the electric controls connection compartment clean (fig. 1, ref.15) by using
compressed air or an aspirator. Avoid taking in direct contact with water.
8) If the grass is wet or very tall, do not cut in the lowest position, but at an intermediate
height.
9) Check the tension of the belts that work the deck; use the adjuster if necessary (fig. 19,
ref.A).
10) Check that the blades are not worn or damaged.
11) Check the engine revs (3350 max).
12) While mowing keep the engine at maximum revs.; if the engine revs. drop, slow down
for a while to allow the engine to reach the right level again.
13) Check the blades are fitted properly.
14) Check the deck is aligned to the ground.
15) ATTENTION! Road circulation is forbidden as the machine has no type-approval.
MOWING POSITIONS
Use the electrical button on the dashboard to adjust cutting height (fig. 1, n°4).
When working on rough terrain, with bumps or humps, it is better to use the deck in the
highest cutting position to avoid impact with the blade.
Attention! During the cut the deck removal button (fig. 17, ref.D) has to be in the “floating”
position (switch indicator light off).
SLOPING GROUND
Steep ground should be tackled in an up-and-down movement, being very careful at
direction changes that the wheels uphill do not meet any obstacles (stones, branches, roots,
etc…) which could cause loss of control over the machine. If the drive wheels tend to slip,
turn the knob (fig.1, ref.8) clockwise so that more weight is exerted on the drive wheels,
therefore giving more traction.
Evaluate the various conditions and be careful in the presence of damp ground and wet
grass because this could cause the mower to slide. When going downhill, start off at a slow
speed and avoid driving over dry or cut grass because the wheels could lose their grip.
Do not run any risks, check the ground carefully and if you do not feel safe, avoid strong
slopes and do not exceed the speed-limits, which are imposed by your country laws and
written also in this manual (max. 17° or 30%).
CUTTING DECK
Mulching system (lever straight up fig. 9). This system is designed to cut and chop grass
10/15 cm tall.
