The next time the machine is used, check that there are no fuel leaks
from the tubes or carburettor.
5.4.14 Card protection device
The electronic card has a self-resetting protector which breaks the
circuit if there is a fault in the electrical system. It results in the stop-
ping of the engine and an audible signal which can only be stopped
by removing the key.
The circuit automatically resets after a few seconds but the cause of
the fault should be ascertained and dealt with to avoid re-activating
the protection device.
IMPORTANT
To avoid activating the protection device:
– do not reverse the leads on the battery terminals;
– do not use the machine without its battery or damage may be
caused to the charging regulator;
– be careful not to cause short-circuits.
5.5 USING ON SLOPING GROUND
Only mowing in any case on the maximum gradients already men-
tioned (max 10° - 17%), lawns on a slope have to be mowed moving
up and down and never across them, taking great care when chang-
ing direction that the highest wheels do not hit obstacles (such as
stones, branches, roots, etc.) that may cause the machine to slide
sideways, tip over or otherwise cause loss of control.
max 10˚(17%)
DANGER!
REDUCE SPEED BEFORE ANY CHANGE OF
DIRECTION ON SLOPES, and always engage the parking
brake before leaving the machine stopped and unattended.
WARNING!
Take care when beginning forward move-
ment on sloping ground to prevent the risk of tipping up.
Reduce the forward speed before going on a slope, particu-
larly downhill.
DANGER!
Never use reverse to reduce speed going
downhill. control of the machine may be lost, particularly on
slippery surfaces.
