warranty does not cover for damage to plastic

parts of the bodywork or the engine caused by

petrol.

5.3.4 Checking the exit guard (Side dis-

charge chute) (Fig. 5.5)

WARNING! Never use the machine with-

out the exit guards or when the guards are

damaged!

Always check that the inner spring of the chute

(1) works properly, whilst keeping it securely

lowered.

5.3.5 Checking machine safety

and eciency

1. Check that the safety devices function as de-

scribed (see 5.2).

2. Check that the brake is in perfect working

order.

3. Do not start mowing if the cutting means

vibrate or if you are unsure whether they are

sharp enough. Always remember that:

– A badly sharpened cutting means pulls

at the grass and causes the lawn to turn

yellow.

– A loose cutting means causes abnormal

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

or repairs.

5.4 USING THE MACHINE

5.4.1 Ignition

To start the engine (Fig. 5.6):

– open the fuel stopcock (1);

– put the transmission into neutral («N»)

(see 4.22 or 4.32);

– disengage the cutting means (see 4.5);

– apply the parking brake on sloping ground;

– for a cold start, use the choke (see 4.2 or

4.2a);

– if the engine is already warm, just put the lever

between «SLOW» and «FAST»;

– insert the ignition key and turn to «ON» to

make electrical contact, then turn to «START»

to start the engine;

– release the ignition key once the engine has

started.

When the engine has started, put the accelera-

tor in the «SLOW» position.

IMPORTANT The choke must be closed as

soon as the engine is running smoothly. Using

it when the engine is already warm can foul the

spark plugs and cause the engine to run errati-

cally.

NOTE If there are engine starting problems,

do not insist as you can risk running the battery

flat and flooding the engine. Turn the key to the

«OFF» position, wait for a few seconds and then

repeat the operation. If the malfunction persists,

refer to the engine manual and chapter «8» in

this manual.

IMPORTANT Always bear in mind that the

safety devices prevent the engine from starting

if safety requirements have not been met (see

5.2). In these cases, once the situation has been

corrected, the key must first be turned back to

«OFF» before the engine can be restarted.

5.4.2 Forward gear and riding

without mowing

When moving the machine:

– disengage the cutting means;

– bring the cutting-means assembly to the high-

est position (position «7»);

– put the accelerator control between the

«SLOW» and «FAST» positions.

Mechanical transmission

Push the pedal down as far as possible (see

4.21) and move the gear change lever into

1st gear (see 4.22).

Keep the pedal pressed down and disen-

gage the parking brake. Slowly release

the pedal which will turn from «brake» to

«clutch», thus operating the rear wheels

(see 4.21).

WARNING! The pedal has to be re-

leased gradually, as a sudden engage-

ment may cause the vehicle to tip over

and the driver to lose control.

Gradually reach the desired speed using

the throttle and gear lever. To change gear,

press the clutch halfway down (see 4.21).

Hydrostatic transmission

Disengage the parking brake and release

the brake pedal (see 4.31).

Press the drive pedal (see 4.32) in direction

«F» and reach the required speed by pro-

How do you set it for mulching mode. I have no manual. It leaves a row of grass between blades at moment. Thanks. Submitted on 23-3-2018 at 03:58
