/ Translation of the original instructions
PUTTING THE MACHINE INTO SERVICE
1) Check that the machine has not been damaged in transit.
2) Check the oil levels of the engine, hydrostatic transmission and final drive.
3) Check the tyre pressure:
1 BAR front wheels 13×50/6
1.5 BAR rear wheels 18×8.50-8
4) Check the battery voltage; it must be at least 12,5 Volts. Charge if necessary. If the battery has been
supplied dry with the acid separate, proceed as follows to put it into service:
1) add the acid and wait 2 hours.
2)Charge the battery with a battery charger set at 12 volts on slow charge for 2 hours. Caution!
Failure to follow this rule may cause deterioration of the battery and acid leaks during operations.
IMPORTANT!!!
During assembly take care not to reverse the polarity of the battery.
BATTERY – CAUTION!
The gases released by the battery are explosive, keep it away from naked lights or sparks. Check the
liquid level periodically and keep the terminals lubricated with appropriate grease.
RUNNING IN – CAUTION!!
Change the engine oil and filter after the first 20 working hours. Check that there are no oil leaks or slack
screws, especially those which fix the blade, the steering and the wheels. Adjust the tension of the
hydrostatic transmission belts (fig. 15).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
BEFORE STARTING UP THE ENGINE
Before starting up the engine, always check that:
– the engine oil level is correct (fig. 4)
the oil in the hydraulic engine is at the correct level (fig. 3)
the forward level is in the idle position (fig. 1B, no. 2)
the engine cooling intake grid is clean (fig. 5)
– air filter is clean (fig. 6).
– the mowing deck is clean.
– the hydraulic motor fins are clean (fig. 7)
– the blades are sharp and firmly fastened in place.
– the screw in the centre of the blade hub is safety tightened (fig. 1C, no. 3).
Fill the fuel tank using a funnel with very fine filter (fig. 1A, no. 4).
STARTING UP THE ENGINE
– Push the throttle half way in (fig. 1B, no.5)
– If the engine is cold, use the choke (fig. 1B, no.6). Turn the ignition key on the dashboard (fig. 1, no.
7).
– Once the engine has started, turn off the choke and wait for a few minutes to allow the engine to warm
up.
– To switch off the engine, put the ignition key into the STOP position (fig. 1, no. 7).
Important:
When moving the mower from one place to another, you are advised to keep the cutting deck
at the maximum height setting.
STARTING WORK
– Choose the desired cutting height by means of the lever (fig. 1D, no. 8). Suitably accelerate the engine
and engage the PTO lever (fig. 1, no. 1). Gently operate the forward travel lever (fig. 1B, no. 2) and
start work. To stop, return the forward lever to the stop position.
– The lever (fig. 1B, no. 2) is also used to reverse. When it is moved back, the machine moves
backwards; always operate it gently.
