ALWAYS CHECK BEFORE STARTING THAT:
THE MACHINE IS IDLING
THE CLUTCH HAND-LEVER IS LIFTIED AND LOCKED WITH IST PUSH-BUTTON (Fig. 7 Ref. "A" and "B")
THE BAR IS DISENGAGED THROUGH IST LEVER (Pict. 8 Pos. "A").
SAFETY DEVICE FOR STOPPING THE ENGINE
The main function of the lever (Ref. "2" Pict. 1) is to turn off the engine when releasing your hands from the steering handles.
Do not ever tie the "MOTOR STOP" lever "A" to the handlebar knob.
Before you start to mow, check that the motor shuts off with the "STOP" lever raised.
MOTOR STOP: lever "A" is engaged; MOTOR START : lever "A" is released.
In case of danger the machine will immediately stop after releasing with the left hand the "stop engine safety device".
OPERATING AND REGULATING THE MACHINE
Before you start mowing, oil the cutting blade, then start the motor as follows:
•
The release of the wheels and bar clutches should be done with the engine running at low speed.
•
Engaging the transmission to the wheels and the cutting bar by means of the clutch lever must be carried out
with the motor at a middle r.p.m. and by slowly releasing the lever.
•
When starting to mow, position the accelerator lever at 3/4 or at "MAX" to ensure adequate power
(Fig.1 Ref. "1").
•
When mowing along a wall or the edge of a sidewalk, be careful to keep a safety distance so that the blade
does not suffer impact. If not, the cutting bar may undergo damage.
•
When moving forward or back with the mower running, first squeeze the clutch lever which will block the bar,
then squeeze the wheel release lever and move as needed.
•
The handles can be adjusted in height and sideways (Fig. 10 Ref. "A") by a multi-toothed device.
•
You can adjust the cutting height of the grass by the skids on the cutter bar (see instructions on the bars)
•
To regulate the motor, read the manual on the motor under "REGULATIONS".
ATTENTION: DO NOT LEAVE THE MACHINE RUNNING WHEN NOT IN OPERATION
