5.6 DRIVING _________________________________________________________________
Read and follow all safety instructions contained in this manual when you drive the mower. When you operate in the
reverse direction, look behind you to make sure you have a clear path.
IMPORTANT: Equipment must meet the current regulations to be driven on the public roads.
To transport the mower, move the mow switch to the OFF position, lift the cutting units to the transport position and
move the transport lock switch to the ON position. To switch to high speed, push the front of the high/low speed switch.
To drive the mower in the forward direction, carefully press the top of the traction pedal.
To drive the mower in the reverse direction, carefully press the bottom of the traction pedal.
To stop the mower, return the traction pedal to the neutral position. In an emergency situation, the brake pedal can be
pressed to stop the mower.
5.7 MOWING_________________________________________________________________________
To mow:
1. To mow, the machine should be set to either manual or automatic mode.
2. Release any transport locks and lower the cutting units with the joysticks.
3. To engage the cutter decks, press the upper half of the cutting unit switch, found on the control panel.
4. Release the parking brake and drive in a forward direction.
5. Set a speed compatible with the surface and gradient you are cutting. When you operate at high speed, danger is
increased and the quality of cut will be compromised.
WARNING
To prevent injuries, when the blades rotate, keep your hands, feet and clothing away from the cutting unit.
NEVER use your hands to clean the cutting units. Use a brush to remove grass from the blades. The blades can be
sharp and can cause injury.
NOTICE
Always set the throttle to the maximum engine speed. If you find wet or thick grass difficult to cut, or the indicator
lamps on the control pod turn red, decrease the forward speed to increase cutting capacity to the cutter deck
motors.
