Maintenance - Garland ATILA 162 B Manual De Instrucciones

English
- When adjusting the cutting height and machine
speed, be careful not to overstress the machine.
- For problem-free use, the cutting height and the
movement speed must be adapted to the height of
the grass to be cut.
- In case of blocking and a drop in engine speed,
shift down and put a the cover of up overthe blade.
- On particularly rough surfaces, work with greater
cutting height to prevent the blade knocking
against any surface irregularities, with resulting
damage to the blade and mechanical parts.
CAUTION: When cutting on slopes, reduce speed
of movement to ensure safety conditions.
- Disengage the blade and move the deck to max
height position every time an obstacle or hump
has to be overcome.
- The blade must be in perfect condition and sharp,
so the cut is clean and without frays which could
cause the grass to turn yellow.
- The engine must be used at top speed, both to
ensure a clean cut of the grass and to achieve good
ejection of the cut grass through the unloading pipe.
- In case of drought do not use very low cutting
levels so as not to damage the lawn.
- It is best to cut the grass when the lawn in dry
- If the grass is very tall, two separate cutting
operations are best performed, on different days;
start with max height cutting with a low gear.
OPERATING TIMES AND DAYS
The time of operation of the lawnmower could be
regulated by specifi c national or local laws. Contact
the local authorities to fi nd out.
7.5. TRANSPORT
To change work areas, the machine can only cover
short distances.
- For longer distances, use a transport vehicle
featuring loading ramps. Push the machine by
hand and with the gear lever in neutral.
- Do not lift using cables.
- Secure the machine adequately during transport.

8.1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION, HAZARD: Always carefully follow the
instructions in the chapter: "Basic safety precautions"
and in the paragraph "1.4" maintenance and deposit.
HAZARD: Always replace the grass bag if this
is tom, unstitched and shows damage to the plastic
profi les.
HAZARD: Due to the possible launching of
grass and material collected up by the blade.
HAZARD: Before carrying out any inspection,
cleaning and servicing operations on the
machine, and before unblocking the grass
unloading pipe, stop the engine, take out the
ignition key and follow the instructions in the manual.
HAZARD: The blades are sharp: risk of
serious injury to persons. Before cleaning,
inspecting and repairing cutting parts, stop
the engine and take out the ignition key.
Now disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the
cap away from the plug to prevent accidental starting
(fi g 51).
HAZARD: Hot surfaces: Danger of burns.
Wait for the engine to completely cool down
before making any adjustments or servicing
the engine itself.
