particularly on slopes or rough, slippery and unstable ground.
• Do not leave the machine on high grass with the engine running to avoid the risk of starting
a fire.
WHY THE SAFETY DEVICES CUT IN
The safety devices work in two ways:
– hey prevent the engine from starting if all the safety requirements have not been met;
– they stop the engine if even just one of the safety requirements is lacking.
a) To start the engine, it is necessary that:
– the transmission is in “neutral”;
– the blades are not engaged;
– the operator is seated or the parking brake is engaged.
b) The engine stops when:
– the operator leaves his seat when the blade is engaged;
– the operator leaves his seat with a gear engaged;
– the grass-catcher is lifted without disengaging the blade;
– the blade is engaged without the grass-catcher in place;
– the parking brake is engaged without disengaging the blade;
– the speed change is activated with the parking brake on.
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.
1. Fuel level
2. Oil level
3. Air cleaner (if equipped)
4. General inspection: Check for fluid leaks and loose or damaged parts
5. Check the equipment powered by this engine.
6. Check machine safety and efficiency - make sure the safety systems are in good working
order by simulating the operating conditions. Check that the safety devices function as
described. Check that the brake is in perfect working order.
7. Seat adjustment
8. Tire pressure
Do not start mowing if the blades vibrate or if you are unsure whether they are sharp enough.
Always remember that:
– A badly sharpened blade pulls at the grass and causes the lawn to turn yellow.
– A loose blade causes unwanted vibrations and can be dangerous.
WARNING! Do not use the machine if you are unsure whether it is working safely
or efficiently. If in doubt, contact your dealer immediately to make the necessary
checks and repairs.
