Climber 9.22 / Translation of the original instructions
PARKING BRAKE
To engage the parking brake, please press the lever upwards and lock it to the proper seal retainer (fig. 23, no. 2). In this
position, if the forward lever is engaged, a warning buzzer warns that the parking brake is engaged. To adjust the parking brake,
use the castellated nut (fig. 22).
CUTTING POSITIONS
To adjust the cutting height use the lever (fig. 1D, no. 8). The deck can be set in 4 different cutting positions from 30 to 90 mm
and one travel position in which the blade disengages automatically (fig. 1D). To engage the blade again use the button (fig. 1,
no. 1). In case of uneven ground, humps or dips, the deck should be kept in the highest cutting position to prevent knocks by the
blade.
SLOPING GROUND
If possible, steep slopes must be mown in the up/down direction, taking great care when turning that the wheels upstream do
not strike obstacles (stones, branches, roots, etc.) which might cause the machine to tip, or lead to loss of control. If the drive
wheels loose adherence, engage the differential lock (fig. 8). Study mowing area.
Set up a safe mowing pattern. Do not mow
where traction or stability is doubtful since the machine might slip. Downhill, set off at low speed and do not pass over dry
or cut grass since the wheels lose grip.
HOUR METER
The machine is equipped with the an hour meter (fig. 1, n. 8) with three different functions:
1) It always shows the no. of hours worked, even when the key is not inserted.
2) It displays the no. of hours to the next engine oil change (OIL CHANGE IN...HS). The first oil change must be carried out after
the first 20 working hours than every 100 working hours. The indicator “OIL CHANGE” flashes automatically when it is
necessary to change the oil.
3) It displays the no. of hours to the next lubrication (LUBE IN...HS). Lubrication must be carried out every 40 working hours.
The indicator “LUBE” flashes automatically when lubrication must be carried out.
By pushing the white button you can choose the function to be displayed on the hour meter.
4) To reset the hour meter after the engine oil change or after lubrication proceed as follows:
Push the button until the relative alarm will flash (OIL CHANGE IN...HS or LUBE IN...HS). Then keep the button pushed for 6
seconds until the alarm stops flashing.
INTERVENTION OF SAFETY DEVICES
Remember that the engine will stop whenever the operator gets up from the seat.
The engine will not start up if:
– The blade is engaged.
– Nobody is sitting in the driver’s seat.
– If the forward lever is not in neutral position.
USEFUL RULES FOR EFFICIENT USE
1) Never strain the engine: when fumes are emitted from the exhaust it means that it is being strained. Slow down.
2) Do not leave the machine out in the rain.
3) If the machine heats up on the first day at work, stop it and allow it to cool down: it needs to rest.
4) Frequently sharpen the cutting blades: the cut will be better and the engine will not be strained that much.
5) Check the area before mowing to make sure that there are no stones, sticks or foreign bodies.
6) Keep the engine at peak r.p.m. during mowing, adjust the speed according to the height of the grass.
Keep the grids above the engine and the cooling fins of the hydraulic motor (fig. 5 – 7) clean.
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
CAUTION!
- Disconnect the plugs before performing any cleaning, maintenance or repair operation. Always wear suitable clothing
and working gloves.
- When the machine or part of it is lifted to carry out maintenance operations, always remember to use suitable fixing
tools such as holders and safety locks.
- When carrying out maintenance operations and/or when the machine is tilted without safety locks or supports, never
leave it unattended where inexperienced people and children could have easy access to it.
- Protect the environment: carefully dispose of used oils, petrol and any other pollutant product!
- Effective maintenance and correct lubrication help to keep the machine fully efficient.
ENGINE
For the lubrication intervals, follow the instructions provided in the engine handbook; the oil must in any case be changed
after the first 20 working hours and then every 100 hours, using SAE 30 engine oil. To remove the oil unscrew the tap (fig.
20B). Change the oil filter (fig. 10).
WHEEL DRIVE GEARBOX
Check the oil level every 100 hours by unscrewing the cap (fig. 11, ref. A); if necessary top up with 80W90 (API GL-5) gearbox
oil. To drain the oil, unscrew the cap (fig. 11, ref. B). Change the oil every 1000 hours. Quantity 1,9 Lt. (fill through the tap fig.
11A).
