- Under the driving seat there is a micro switch that senses the driver's presence on the
machine.
- The electrovalve that controls the machine's stabilizing mechanism on slopes (fig. 6, ref.
C) is situated behind the right hydrostatic transmission. Under normal working conditions
the electrovalve is illuminated by a red LED. When the machine's stabilizing device
intervenes, the red LED goes out.
- On the electromagnetic clutch cable there is a diode that prevents returns of current.
- The control unit (fig. 3) signals when the main devices of the machine are engaged or
disengaged. Furthermore, it stores and indicates the machine's working hours.
AIR FILTER
Check and clean the air filter (fig. 4, ref. D) every 8 hours or more frequently if you work in
dry and dusty conditions. For the substitution and the exact maintenance intervals, please
follow the instructions and warnings given in the engine manual.
PETROL FILTER
The petrol filter (fig. 7, ref. B) prevents possible impurities in the petrol from getting in contact
with engine parts. Clean the petrol filter every 200 hours, and also wash the inside with clean
petrol. For the cleaning and the exact maintenance intervals, please follow the instructions
and warnings in the engine manual.
CLEANING
Wash the cutting deck with a high-pressure water jet machine but do not direct the water jet
to the electrical components. Never clean the electric compartment with the high-pressure
water jet machine, use compressed air or a vacuum cleaner instead. Keep the hydrostatic
transmissions area especially clean in order to guarantee an efficient cooling. Always keep
the aspiration grid on the engine and the air filter clean.
TOWING HOOK
The towing hook is located in the rear part of the machine. You can tow compaction rollers
and trailers up to max. 120 kg weight on a 10% slope.
TOWING THE MACHINE WITH A CUT OFF ENGINE
Attention! To be able to move the machine when the engine is cut off you have to act on the
hydrostatic transmissions by-pass levers (fig. 5, ref.C); pay attention because doing so the
efficiency of the self-sustaining braking system is cancelled.
Tow the machine at a very low speed (less than 3.2 km/h) and only over short
distances, no longer than 100 metres, to avoid seizing of the hydraulic pump or of the
engines inside the hydrostatic unit.
STORAGE AND LACK OF USE FOR LONG PERIODS
Store the machine in a dry environment, sheltered from bad weather and, if possible,
covered up.
If the mower will not be used for a long period (more than one month), disconnect the battery
red cable and follow the directions given in the engine manual; in addition grease all the
joints.
