Check the oil level in the engine. IMPORTANT ! The New machine is delivered without oil.
•
READ CAREFULLY THE BOOK USE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE ENGINE
•
Push the" PRIMER" for 5 times (only with BRIGGS & STRATTON engine) as shown in Pict..1 Ref.7
•
Move the accelerator lever to the position Max ( B&S engine) or position START ( HONDA engine) (Pict. 5 Ref.G)
•
Push down and hold the safety Motor Stop lever- Pict.5 Ref C .
•
Pull the handle of the starting rope Pict. 6 .
•
After starting the engine, move the accelerator to the position MAX ( with Honda engine).
•
In the Types FT530 and FT533, after pushing the clutch lever ( Pos. A in Pict.5), the machine starts moving.
•
The Type FT 533 has a 3 speed gear box, controlled by a lever on the right hand side of the handle-bar. You should smoothly move the gear
lever (Pos. H in pict. 5), with the engine running, but the machine standing, ( before pushing the clutch lever A).

OPERATING AND REGULATING THE MACHINE
Before you start mowing, oil the cutting blade, then start the motor as follows:
•
The release of the wheels and bar clutches should be done with the engine running at low speed.
•
Engaging the transmission to the wheels and the cutting bar by means of the clutch lever must be carried out with the motor at a middle r.p.m.
and by slowly releasing the lever.
•
When starting to mow, position the accelerator lever at ¾ or at "MAX" to ensure adequate power (Pict. 6).
•
When mowing along a wall or the edge of a sidewalk, be careful to keep a safety distance so that the blade does not suffer impact. If not, the
cutting bar may undergo damage.
•
When moving forward or back with the mower running, first squeeze the clutch lever which will block the bar, then squeeze the wheel release
lever and move as needed.
•
The handles can be adjusted in height and sideways (Pict. 9 Ref.
) by a multi-toothed device.
•
You can adjust the cutting height of the grass by the skids on the cutter bar (see instructions on the bars)
•
To regulate the motor, read the manual on the motor under "REGULATIONS".
•
ATTENTION:
DO NOT LEAVE THE MACHINE RUNNING WHEN NOT IN OPERATION
