HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
5.4.5 G
RASS CUTTING
To start cutting:
1. check that the grass-catcher is fitted properly;
2. put the accelerator lever into the «FAST» position;
The blade is engaged by means of a clutch devi-
ce. To avoid damage or premature wear of the friction elements,
strictly observe the following instructions.
3. bring the cutting deck to the highest position position before enga-
ging the blade;
4. engage the blade (
☛
4.6) by shifting the lever firmly (without remaining in the
midway positions), whilst staying away from high grass;
5. start moving forwards onto the grass area very gradually and with particular
caution, as already described;
6. engage the most suitable gear in order to reach the desired forward speed
and adjust the cutting height (
☛
4.5) so that the quantity of grass to be remo-
ved is not too much that the blade can block. According to the lawn condition
(height, density and dampness of the grass). On flat ground, these general
conditions can be followed:
Medium-high and dense grass - wet lawn
1st gear
Medium-low grass - dry lawn
2nd gear
When cutting on sloping ground, the forward speed
must be reduced to ensure safe conditions (
☛
1.2 - 5.5).
– Lower the speed whenever you note a reduction in engine speed, since a
forward speed that is too fast compared to the amount of grass being cut will
never mow the grass well.
– Disengage the blade and put the cutting deck in the highest position whenever
you need to get past an obstacle or a hump.
– Use the 3rd gear only when moving the machine from one area to the other.

MPTYING THE GRASS
-
CATCHER
The grass-catcher is full when the grass cuttings remain on the lawn. If you conti-
nue mowing with the grass-catcher full, it may block the collector channel.
