When moving the machine:
– disengage the blades;
– bring the cutting deck to the highest position (position «7»);
– put the accelerator control between the «SLOW» and
«FAST» positions.
Disengage the parking brake and release the brake pedal
(
4.31).
Press the drive pedal (
4.32) in direction «F» and reach the
required speed by progressively increasing pressure on the
pedal and moving the accelerator.
Cruise control (
4.12 – if present) lets
you continue at the desired speed without using the pedal
(
4.32).
Drive must be engaged as described
(
4.32) ) to prevent sudden engagement from causing
tipping up and loss of control of the vehicle, particularly
on slopes.
5.4.3 Braking
First reduce the machine’s speed by reducing the engine’s
r.p.m., and then press the brake pedal (
4.31) to slow down
the machine until it stops.
The machine already slows down considerably by just releasing
the drive pedal.
NOTE
WARNING!
5.4.4 Reverse
Reverse must be engaged only when the
machine has stopped moving.
When the machine has stopped moving, start reversing by
pressing the drive pedal in direction «R» (
4.32).
5.4.5 Grass cutting
Adjust the position of the anti-chipping wheels (1) whose func-
tion is to reduce the risk of tearing up sections of lawn, which
can occur when the edge of the cutting deck drags over irregu-
lar ground.
The three different front wheel assembly positions allow you
to maintain a safe distance «A» between the cutting deck
edge and the ground.
