ENG 19
HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
F
ITTING THE PROTECTION AT THE EXIT
(
GRASS
-
CATCHER OR STONE
-
GUARD
)
Never use the machine
without having fitted the exit protection!
Lift the removable cover (1) and hook on the
grass-catcher by inserting the two pivots (2)
into the slots on the two supports (3).
If you want to work without using the grass-
catcher, a stone-guard kit (4) is available on
request which is fitted as shown in the figure.
There is a micro-switch which
stops the engine or prevents starting when the
blade is engaged if either the grass-catcher or
stone-guard is not in position. IT IS VERY DAN-
GEROUS TO TAMPER WITH OR LIMIT THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS DEVICE!
C
HECKING THE SAFETY SYSTEMS
Every time before using, check that the safety systems
are working properly. To do so, simulate the various
situations of usage shown in the table on page 26, making sure that the correct
result is achieved for each situation.
C
HECKING THE BRAKING SYSTEM
Make sure that the machine’s braking capacity is adequate for the conditions of
usage. Avoid starting the machine if you have doubts on the brake efficiency. If
necessary, adjust the brake and if you still have doubts on its efficiency, consult
your dealer.
B
LADE CHECK
Check that the blade is sharpened properly and firmly fixed to the hub. A badly
sharpened blade pulls at the grass and causes the lawn to turn yellow.
