The grass collection sack is included in all the models of the ride-on-mower as a
standard accessory.
For assembly, you need the following parts:
- 1 Fabric sack with clips
- 1 Frame
- 1 Bar
- 4 Washers Ø 9x24
- 2 Self-locking nuts (M8)
1. Mount the front wheels on the pins (1), positioning a washer (2), the wheel (3) and
2 washers (4).
2. Secure with a stop (5).
UNPACKING/ ASSEMBLY
The ride-on-mower is packed in a carton and is ready assembled apart from the steering
wheel, seat, grass collection bin and front wheels. Please observe the following sequence
when unpacking the machine:
1. Unpack all the parts that have been delivered. Dispose of the carton and pallet in an
environmentally friendly way.
2. Check all the parts
3. Begin assembly.
It is strictly forbidden to start the ride-on-mower (even for trial purposes)
without completing assembly.
STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY
1. Fix the steering wheel (2) pulling until it is connected with the steering column (1).
2. Secure the steering wheel (2) by means of the socket pin (3); put the socket pin
through the openings (at the steering column and steering wheel)
The openings at the steering wheel and at the steering column must be in
exact alignment.
Before the cutting height is adjusted, the engine must be switched off and
the blades must have come to complete standstill.
ADJUSTMENT
1. Push the adjustment lever (5) outwards in order to release it from its seat.
2. Push the lever into the required notch for the cutting height.
3. Release the lever slowly till it sticks in the notch.
The cutting height is now set.
CARE OF THE LAWN AND MOWING
The modern gardening technology has designed and developed labour-saving devices
(mower with grass collection sack). For a good, healthy green lawn, it is essential to
mow and aerate it regularly.
Fertilising is also essential.
Always make sure the blades are sharp and in perfect conditions to avoid grass fraying
and yellowing lawn .
You will achieve a clean cut with regular and straight windrows.
The mowing tracks should always overlap a few centimetres to avoid any uncut strips
in between.
fig. 8
Before mowing, remove all foreign objects from the lawn which may be thrown by the
machine. While mowing, stay alert for any foreign objects which may have been missed.
PUTTING THE MOWER INTO OPERATION FOR THE FIRST TIME
Don't put the mower into operation before you have completely finished its assembly. Before putting the
mower into operation for the first time, don't forget to fill it with petrol and oil. Connect the red cables to
the positive terminal and the black cables to the negative terminal (the battery is placed in the battery-
holder got on the body on the right of the seat). The mower may be put into operation for the first time
only by trained persons who have read and understood these operating instructions.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Start up the engine only after filling the tanks with sufficient petrol and oil.
Carefully follow the instructions in the enclosed manufacturer's operating
and maintenance manual.
REFUELLING
Danger of explosion! Fill the tank only in the open! Never refuel while the
engine is running or is still very hot! Do not smoke!
Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.
If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine
away from the area of spillage and avoid
the petrol vapours have dissipated.
The gasoline tank is placed on the right side of the unit.
1. Unscrew the tank cap (2) and fill up with lead-free petrol.
2. Screw the tank cap back.

OPERATION
creating any source of ignition until
1- Allow the sack to slide on the frame and secure with suitable clips.
2- Fix the bar with the 4 washers 9x24 (two before and two after the fabric sack) and
with the 2 M8 nuts.
(Fig.4)
Attention: Assemble the wheel with valve outwards
(Fig. 5-17)
SEAT ASSEMBLY
1- Fasten the seat (4) to the support plate (5) through the 4 M8x18 screws. Assembly
with 4 washers Ø 9x24 and 4 groovers.
2- Before tightening the screws, adjust the position of the seat on the holes of the plate
according to the user's needs.
Check at regular intervals that the nuts are tightly screwed down.
ASSEMBLY OF THE GRASS COLLECTION SACK
1.Fasten the bin to the rear part of the ride-on-mower with the 2 H.H. 6x16.2 screws,
the 2 Z-shaped plates and 2 M6 nuts.
2. Fix the bin cover to the engine casing inserting the two Ø 5x50 plugs
PLATE ASSEMBLY FOR FULL GRASS-BAG DETECTION
Insert the plate (12) into the slot (13).

(Fig.6-7)
EMPTYING THE GRASS COLLECTION BIN
Empty the grass collection bin in time before it overflows.
The orange light shows that the bin is full.
Don't go on filling the grass collection bin when the orange light situated
under the steering wheel is on.
Switch off the engine.
1. Hold the rod and swivel the bin. Shake the sack twice until it is completely empty.
2. Let the grass collection sack return slowly to its original position.
3. Switch on the engine.
Lawn cutting frequency depends on the rate of growth. In the main growing season
(May-June) often (twice a week) or at least once a week. The cutting height should be
between 4-6 cm. and the growth before the next cut should not be more than 4-5 cm.
During hot and dry periods, the lawn should be cut 1,5 cm. higher than normal, to
avoid ground and root drying out.
If the grass is somewhat higher than normal, you should not make the mistake of
cutting it immediately; you can damage the lawn. Do no cut to more than half the
necessary height.
(Fig.8-9)
Never place your hands or feer underneath the deck or into the rear discharge chute
while the engine is running.
