HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
5.4.4 Reverse
Reverse must be engaged only when the machine has stopped
moving.
Press the pedal until the machine stops and
then go into reverse by shifting the lever sideways and into position «R» (
☛
4.22).
Gradually release the pedal to engage the clutch and then begin moving in reverse.
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 (
☛
4.9);
– 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).
When cutting on sloping ground, reduce your speed to
ensure safe conditions (
☛
1.2 - 5.5).
Whatever the conditions, always reduce the speed if you notice a drop in engine speed
– if you travel too fast compared to the amount of grass being cut, you will not be able
to mow the grass well.
Disengage the blades and raise the cutting deck as high as possible whenever you
need to get past an obstacle.
5.4.6 Emptying the grass-catcher
This operation can only be done with the blades disengaged, oth-
erwise the engine stops.
Do not let the grass-catcher become too full as this may block the collector channel.
