OPERATION
SLOPE OPERATION
• All slopes need extra caution.
• Do not cut grass, when slope is more than 10°
(17%).
• Mow slopes, riding up and down, never across.
• Avoid sudden changes in direction.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs,
ruts, etc.

WARNING
While travelling downhill, never coast! When
parking, depress the brake pedal, and lock it (fig. 14,
pos. 1 and 2).
COLLECTOR DISCHARGING (FIG. 21)
In order to avoid clogging the grass collector, we suggest
to keep the MAN/AUTO switch in the AUTO position.
A micro switch controls this process and, when the grass
collector is full, it declutches the blades and the button
light comes on. Then, reduce the engine speed to idle,
pull out the telescopic dumping lever all the way and
push it down to empty the grass collector, then, slowly
release the lever upwards to allow the grass collector to
close. Push the RESET switch. Then, you can continue
to mow.
Fig. 21
TUNNEL CLEANING
The cutting system will shut OFF automatically when the
rear collector bag is full. If the automatic shut OFF does
not work, then the tunnel air flow vent is plugged.
Remove any debris that is trapped in the area of the
microswitch..
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
Lights are switched on with the switch (fig. 11, c) if the
key is on position (fig. 18).
SAFETY CONDITIONS
Remember your tractor is equipped with a seat switch;
this means that when you leave the seat, the engine
stops.
The mower blades stop when the grass collector is full of
grass.
The engine cannot start when:
a. the seat is not weighted with a driver
b. the break pedal is not fully depressed (Fig 14)
c. the cutting switch is in ON position (Fig 16)
STORAGE
After cutting is finished, lift the mower deck to the
highest position, and stop the cutting system drive.
Turn off the ignition switch, depress the brake-clutch
pedal and lock it with the parking brake. Close the fuel
valve.
TOWING
The tractor is equipped for towing attachments in the
lower rear part of the tractor.
The maximum weight for the attachment is 150 Kg.
IMPORTANT
Always remove the ignition key, before storing. When
storing the tractor for longer periods of time discon-
nect the battery.
