HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
eng 21
– engage the speed chosen according to the condition of the lawn;
– release the pedal very gradually and with particular caution as already descri-
bed.
Engage the blades with the cutting deck in the highest position, and then gradual-
ly go 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.
The speed is gradually and progressively adjusted to the conditions of the lawn
by the amount of pressure on the drive pedal.
A lower speed should always be selected if you note a reduction in engine speed,
since a forward speed that is too fast will not cut the grass well.
Disengage the blades and put the cutting deck in the highest position whenever
you need to get past an obstacle.
Cutting height adjustment
The height is adjusted by operating the lever with 7 height positions. To change
the height push in the release knob on the end of the lever.
How 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
could be too high for the lawn conditions.
If this does not solve the problem, it is
probably due to unsharpened blades or
the wings on the blades having become
deformed (see chapter 7).
