HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
– to begin moving, operate the speed regulation controls taking care to release
the pedal very gradually and with particular caution as already described.
Engage the blade with the cutting deck in the highest position, and then gradual-
ly lower to the height required. To achieve good collection and even cutting of
the grass, choose a forward speed to suit the quantity of grass to be cut (height
and density) and the lawn's humidity, in line with the following indications (
mechanical drive models):
– High and dense grass - wet lawn 1st speed
– Average condition grass
– Low grass - dry lawn
NOTE
on horizontal surfaces.
➤
For hydrostatic drive models, the speed has to be adapted to the condition
of the grass in a gradual and progressive way by moving the speed change
lever.
The speed should always be reduced if you note a reduction in engine speed,
since 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.

UTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The height is adjusted by moving the lever with 7 height positions.

OW TO OBTAIN A GOOD CUT
1. The lawn's appearance will be best if
you cut in alternate directions, always at
the same height.
2. If the collector system blocks up you
should reduce the forward speed as it
The fifth gear is solely for moving from one area to another
2nd - 3rd speed
