DANGER
Drive must be engaged in accordance with
the modes described (paragraph 6.2) to avoid
sudden meshing, jerking start and loss of
control of the vehicle, especially on slopes.
NOTE
Reverse must only be engaged when
the machine has stopped.
7.5.2 Grass cutting
1. Set the cutting means assembly
to the work position (par. 6.4).
2. Engage the cutting means (fig.13.B) only on
grass lawns; do not engage them on stony
ground or when the grass is very high.
3. When starting to cut grass, start
off slowly and carefully.
4. Adjust speed and cutting height (para
6.4) in relation to lawn conditions
(grass height, density and humidity)
and the amount of grass to be cut.
NOTICE
The forward work speed decreases if the battery
charge threshold falls below 40% (par. 8.2.2).
NOTE
The appearance of the lawn will be improved
if the grass is always cut at the same height
and in two alternating directions (fig. 20).
NOTE
To proceed in reverse gear with the cutting
means engaged, press and hold the consent
button (fig 13.C) so that the motor does not stop.
Disengage the cutting means and move the
cutting means assembly to the highest position:
• When moving between work areas
• When driving on grass free surfaces
• Every time it is necessary to
overcome an obstacle.
7.5.3 Suggestions for maintaining
a nice lawn
• To keep a lawn green and soft with a good
appearance, it should be cut regularly. A
lawn can be composed of different types
of grass. If the lawn is cut frequently, grass
and roots grow more vigorously, forming
a solid grassy bed; if the lawn is cut is
less frequently, higher grass and weeds
start growing (clover and daisies, etc.).
• It is always better to cut the grass when dry.
• The cutting means must be in good
condition and well sharpened so that the
grass is cut straight without a ragged edge
that leads to yellowing at the ends.
• The frequency of mowing should be in
relation to the rate of growth of the grass,
which should not be left to grow too
much between one cut and the next.
• During hot and dry periods, the grass
should be cut a little higher to prevent
the ground from drying out.
• The best height of the grass on a well-
kept lawn is approx. 4-5 cm and with one
mowing, you do not need to remove more
than one third of the total height. If the
grass is very tall, it should be cut twice in
a twenty-four hour period; The first time
with the cutting means at maximum cutting
height and if necessary with open trail and
the second cut at the height desired.
• The lawn will have a better appearance
if the cuts are made by alternating
them in both directions (fig. 20).
• If the discharge chute tends to get blocked
with grass, you should reduce the forward
speed as it may be too high for the condition
of the grass. If the problem persists, the
probable causes are either badly sharpened
cutting means or deformed fins.
• Be very careful when mowing near bushes
or kerbs as these could distort the horizontal
position of the cutting means assembly and
damage its edge as well as the cutting means.
7.5.4 Emptying of the grass catcher (for
rear collection models only)
NOTE
The grass catcher can only be emptied
with the cutting means disengaged,
otherwise the engine stops.
NOTE
Do not let the grass catcher become too full
as this may block the discharge chute.
