Hydrostatic transmission
The machine MUST be stopped before reverse can be en ga ged.

direction «R».
GRASS CUTTING
Engaging the blade and forward movement
When you have reached the area to be mowed,
– put the accelerator into the «FAST» position;
– engage the blade by putting the lever into position «B»;
– start moving forwards on the grass very slowly and with utmost caution, as already
described;
– engage the blade with the cutting deck in the highest position, and then gradually lower to
the height required.
– regulate the cutting height and speed considering the conditions of the lawn (the height,
density and dampness of the grass).
Mechanical transmission
– High and dense grass - wet lawn 1st speed
– Low grass - dry lawn 2nd - 3rd speed
NOTE
The fourth gear is just a transfer gear to be used on the flat.
Hydrostatic transmission
The speed has to be adapted to the condition of the grass in a gradual and progressive
way by moving the speed drive pedal.
The speed should always be reduced if you note a reduction in engine speed as a forward
speed that is too fast will not cut the grass well.
Disengage the blade and put the cutting deck in the highest position whenever you need to
get past an obstacle.
Cutting height adjustment
Cutting height is regulated by a specific lever ( 4.4).
Lawn maintenance
1. To keep a lawn green, soft and attractive, it should be cut regularly without damaging the
grass. A lawn can be composed of different types of grass. If the lawn is cut frequently,
grass and roots grow more vigorously, forming a solid grassy bed.
If the lawn is cut less frequently, higher grass and weeds start growing (plus daisies and
clovers, etc.).
2. It is always better to cut the grass when dry.
