HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
When moving the machine, the blades must be disengaged and the cutting deck
raised as high as possible (position «7»).
When moving the machine from one area to another, position the throttle 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 reach the required speed by gradu-
ally increasing pressure on the pedal and working the throttle.
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.
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
To start cutting:
– move the throttle to «FAST»;
– raise the cutting deck as high as possible;
– engage the blades (
4.7);
– start moving forwards on the grass very slowly and with utmost caution, as already
described;
– regulate the cutting height and speed (
4.8) considering the conditions of the lawn
(the height, density and dampness of the grass).
