5.3 Diretions before starting work
Before starting to mow, it is necessary to carry out
several checks and operations to ensure you can work
efficiently and with maximum safety.
5.3.
1 Seat adjustment
See Fig. 18
To change the seat position, loosen the four fixing bolts
and slide it along the slots. Once you have found the
right position, tighten the four screws.
5.3.2 Tire pressure
See Fig. 19
Having the right tire pressure is the main condition
for ensuring that the cutting deck is horizontal and
mows evenly. Unscrew the valve caps and connect a
compressed air line with a gauge to the valves.
The pressures are:
Front tire:
1.0 bar (15 x 6.0-6)
Rear tire:
0.8 bar (18 x 8.5-8)
5.3.3 Checking the fuel and oil (
☛
3.7)
See Fig. 20
The engine manual indicates what type of oil and
fuel you can use.
With the engine off, check the oil level according
to the instructions in the engine manual, this must
be between the MIN and MAX marks on the oil dipstick.
Refuel using a funnel, but do not completely fill the tank.
The fuel tank's capacity is about 7.5 liters
Refueling should be carried out in an open or
well-ventilated area with the engine off. Always
remember that petrol fumes are inflammable.
DO NOT USE A NAKED FLAME TO LOOK INSIDE
THE TANK AND DO NOT SMOKE WHEN
REFUELLING.
Do not drip petrol onto the plastic parts to
avoid damaging them. In the event of accidental
spills or leaks, rinse immediately with water.
The warranty does not cover for damage to
plastic parts of the bodywork or the engine
caused by petrol.
5.3.4 Checking machine safety and efficiency
1. Check that the safety devices function as described
(
☛
5.2).
2. Check that the brake is in perfect working order.
3. Do not start mowing if the blades vibrate or if you
are unsure whether they are sharp enough. Always
remember that:
•
A badly sharpened blade pulls at the
grass and causes the lawn to turn yellow.
•
A loose blade causes unwanted vibrations
and can be dangerous.
Do not use the machine if you are unsure
whether it is working safely or efficiently. If in
doubt, contact your Dealer immediately to make
the necessary checks and repairs.
5.4 Using the machine
5.4.1 Starting
The engine must be started in an open or well-
ventilated area!
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT EXHAUST GASES ARE
TOXIC!
To start the engine:
1. Open the air valve on fuel lid (to “I”) - See Fig. 21
2. Disengage the blades (
☛
4.8)
3. Operate the parking brake (
☛
4.6)
4. Keep the drive pedal at the NEUTRAL position
5. Sit on the tractor seat
6. When starting from cold, move the throttle to
the «CHOKE» position shown on the label.
7. If the engine is already warm, position the throttle
lever between «SLOW» and «FAST»
8. Put in the ignition key and turn to «ON» to make
electrical contact, then turn to «START» to start the
engine. Release the key once the engine has
started.
9. When the engine has started, move the throttle to
«SLOW».
The choke must be closed as soon as the
engine is running smoothly. Using it when the
engine is already warm can foul the spark plugs
and cause the engine to run erratically.
If there are engine starting problems, do not
insist as you can risk
running the battery flat
and flooding the engine. Turn the key to «OFF»,
wait for a few seconds and then repeat the
operation. If the malfunction persists, refer to
the engine manual
Always bear in mind that the safety devices
prevent the engine from starting if safety
requirements have not been met (
☛
5.2). In
these cases, once the situation has been
corrected, the key must first be turned back to
«OFF» before the engine can be restarted.
5.4.2 Starting and moving without mowing
This machine has not been approved for use on
public roads. It must be used (as indicated by
the highway code) in private areas – away from
traffic.
When moving the machine, the blades must be
disengaged, and the cutting deck raised as
high as
possible:
•
Position the throttle between «SLOW» and FAST»
•
Disengage the parking brake and release the brake
pedal (
☛
4.6)
•
Press the drive pedal (
☛
4.9) in direction «F» and
reach the required speed by gradually increasing
pressure on the pedal and working the throttle
Drive must be engaged as described (
☛
4.9) to
prevent sudden engagement from causing
tipping up and loss of control of the vehicle,
particularly on slopes.
