with water under pressure, use some compressed air or a vacuum cleaner.
TOWING HOOK
The towing hook is located in the rear part of the machine (fig. 33). You can tow compaction rollers and trailers up
to max. 400 kg weight on level ground. It is forbidden to tow trailers on public road.
TOWING THE MACHINE WITH A CUT OFF ENGINE
Attention! To be able to move the machine when the engine is cut off loosen the screw on the hydrostatic pump (fig.
26) by two turns; pay attention because doing so the efficiency of the self-braking device is cancelled.
Tow the machine at very low speed and only on small distances, maximum 100 metres, to avoid hydraulic
pump and/or engines seizing.
LIFTING HOOKS AND TRANSPORT
The lifting hooks (fig. 34) location enables the machine complete with the cutting deck to be perfectly balanced if it
must be lifted up with a crane.
Check the machine's weight on the serial number plate and use only suitable equipment (ramps, cranes, etc.).
If the machine is carried with a lorry or with a towed trailer, set the cutting deck at a low position, apply the
parking brake and tie it up to the means of transport using ropes, cables, or chains.
STORAGE AND LACK OF USE FOR LONG PERIODS
Store the machine in a dry environment, sheltered from the elements and, if possible, covered up.
If the mower will not be used for a long period (more than one month), disconnect the red battery lead and follow
the directions given in the engine manual; in addition grease all the joints. Check regularly that the battery voltage
has not dropped below 12.5 Volts and if necessary, recharge it.
IMPLEMENTS
150 cm GRASS SHREDDER
This grass shredder (fig. 41) is very useful for cleaning countryside with tall, wild grass. It allows a fine shredding
making collection unnecessary.
It comes equipped with "Y" shaped tines as a standard feature, also suitable for shredding small pruned branches.
It can be fitted with grass blades to have a cutting quality equal to that of a lawnmower, or converted into scarifier by
changing the tines with scarifier blades.
To make the finish in small spaces, if the front wheels and their supports are too bulky, they can be removed: you
will work then with the grass shredder resting on the rear roller.
It is applied in the same way as the lawnmower. Be careful to fit the universal joint into the grooved shaft.
Regularly check the belts' tension at the side of the grass shredder. The correct spring length adjustment is 70 mm
(fig. 45). If the grass shredder vibrates, check the tines.
If the grass is very high and you notice an excessive power absorption, it is advisable to take off the contra-rotating
blade, which is positioned in the inner part of the grass shredder casing.
ATTENTION! During work, please keep people away; do not work with the implement on gravel or foreign bodies,
which could be thrown away, becoming very dangerous.
160 cm LPM CUTTING DECK
The 160 cm LPM cutting deck (fig. 42) is a 3-blade deck, width 1600 mm, the total width with side discharge baffle
is 1920 mm, without baffle is 1700 mm. It has got 3 different functions:
1) Side discharge;
2) Rear discharge;
3) Mulching.
To get from one function to another, it is not necessary to change the blades but only the augers, which are located
in the inner part of the cutting deck (fig. 43).
Choose the most suitable function, considering the places where you have to work and the grass height.
We kindly advise you to use the mulching configuration if you have to cut grass which is 10/12 cm high; the rear
configuration if you do not want that the cutting grass is thrown on streets or paths and the lateral configuration if
the grass is not very high and you have to use it in wide spaces, so that during work you throw the cut grass upon
the grass which has still to be cut. This way the cutting deck cuts the grass several times, grinding it finely (pay
attention not to work when the engine is stressed).
Periodically check the belt tension and eventually adjust the spring register (fig. 44, ref. B).
Lubricate the blade shafts (fig. 44, ref. A) with grease every 40 hours.
Change the oil in the angle gearbox every 300 hours, using synthetic oil LSX 75W90 (international brand
API GLA+GL5; API MT1 and PG2; MIL-L-2150 D).
