5.4.3 Braking
The machine already slows down considerably simply by releasing the drive pedal. If you release the
drive pedal, the machine will stop if it is on a flat area. If there is a gradient or you require more
consistent braking, you can press the brake pedal.
5.4.4 Reverse
IMPORTANT
It should be activated only when the machine has stopped moving. When the machine
has stopped moving, begin to back up by pressing the drive pedal in the “R” direction ( ☛ 4.10).
5.4.5 Cutting To start cutting:
-move the throttle to «FAST»;
- raise the mower deck as high as possible;
- activate the blades (
☛
4.3);
- start moving forwards on the grass very slowly and with the greatest
caution, as already described;
- adjust the cutting height and speed taking into account the conditions of
the grass (height, density and humidity of the grass).
CAVEAT When mowing on sloping ground, reduce your speed to ensure safe conditions.
NOTE : This machine has not been approved for mowing in reverse. The blades will stop when
the machine is in reverse by pressing the drive pedal to "R". Press the button (on the right of
the back cover) to make the blades rotate.
Regardless of conditions, always reduce speed if you notice a drop in engine power; if you travel too
fast compared to the amount of grass being cut, you will not be able to mow well.
Disengage the blades and raise the mower deck as high as possible whenever you need to clear an
obstacle.
5.4.6 Emptying the grass catcher
NOTE : this operation can only be carried out with the blades
disconnected, otherwise the motor stops.
Do not allow the grass catcher to become too full as this can block the
catcher channel. When the grass catcher is full, you will hear an audible
warning.
At this point:
- disable the blades ( ☛ 4.3) and the sound will stop;
- lower the engine speed;
- stop driving;- apply the parking brake on slopes;
- pull the lever and raise the grass catcher to empty it; ( ☛ 4.9)
- close the grass catcher so that it hooks into the pawl.
NOTE Occasionally, an audible warning may be heard at the time the blade is activated, even when the
catcher has been completely emptied. This is due to grass debris on the micro-switch
sensor. To stop the signal, disable the blades and immediately enable them again. If the
warning sound continues, stop the engine, remove the grass catcher, and remove any
debris in the catcher that is triggering the sensor.
