TARTING AND MOVING WITHOUT MOWING
This machine has not been approved for use on public
roads. It has to be used (as indicated by the highway code) in private
areas closed to traffic.
When moving the machine, the blades must be disengaged
and the cutting deck put at its highest position (position «7»).
For mechanical drive models:
Put the accelerator control between the «SLOW» and «FAST» positions, and
the gear change lever in the 1st speed position (
☛
4.22).
Keep the pedal pressed down and disengage the parking brake. Slowly relea-
se the pedal which will turn from «brake» to «clutch», thus operating the rear
wheels (
☛
4.21).
The pedal has to be released gradually as a sudden
engagement may cause tipping up and loss of control of the vehicle.
Gradually reach the desired operating speed using the accelerator and gear
lever. To change the gear speed the clutch must be used pushing the pedal
down half way (
☛
4.21).
For hydrostatic drive models:
When moving the machine from one area to another, put the accelerator lever
in a midway position between «SLOW» and «FAST».
Disengage the parking brake and release the brake pedal (
☛
4.31).
Press the drive pedal (
☛
4.32) in direction «F» and go to the required speed
by progressively increasing pressure on the pedal and moving the accelerator
appropriately.
