BRAKING
1. First slow down the machine by reducing the engine speed.
2. Push the pedal right down to lower the speed even more until the machine stops.
3. Move the speed gear shift to idle «N» to permit gradual motion.
REVERSE
C IMPORTANT! Reverse must be engaged only when the machine has stopped
moving.
1. Push the brake pedal right down.
2. When the machine has stopped, put it in reverse by moving the lever sideways to position
«R».
3. Gradually release the pedal to engage the clutch and then begin moving in reverse.
GRASS CUTTING
C The machine is not designed for heavy duty use or for mowing large quantities of
grass.
C The blade is engaged by means of a clutch device. To avoid damage or premature
wear of the friction elements, strictly observe the following instructions.
WARNING!B DANGER : Do not touch the rotating blades. The blades are sharp,
risk of serious injury. Wait for the blade and all the moving parts come to a halt
before touching them. The blade will continue turning for some time after switching
off the engine or disabling the blade control.
• Clear lawn of debris. Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other foreign
objects which could be accidentally thrown out by the mower or wrapped around the rotating
parts. It may cause serious personal injury to the operator and others as well as damage to
property and surrounding objects.
• Check that the grass-catcher is fitted properly.
• Move the throttle to «FAST».
• Bring the cutting deck to the highest position before engaging the blade.
• Avoid engaging the blade on stony ground or when the grass is very high.
• On particularly rought surfaces, work with greater cutting height to prevent the blade
knocking against any surface irregularities, with the resulting damage to the blade and
mechanical parts.
• Disengage the blade and move the deck to max height position every time an obstacle or
hump ha to be overcome.
• When adjusting the cutting height and machine speed, be careful not to overstress
the machine.
• For problem-free use, the cutting height and the movement speed must be adapted to
the height and density of the grass to be cut
• In case of blockages and drops in engine speed engage a lower gear and further raise
the blade deck.
C When cutting slopes, reduce speed of movement to ensure safety conditions.
