PUTTING THE MACHINE INTO SERVICE
1) Check that the machine has not been damaged in transit.
2) Check the oil levels of the engine, hydrostatic transmission and final drive.
3) Check the tyre pressure:
4) 1 BAR front wheels 13×5.00-6
5) 1.2 BAR rear wheels 16×6.50-8.
6) Check the battery voltage; it must be at least 12 Volts. Charge if necessary.
7) IMPORTANT!!! During assembly take care not to reverse the polarity of the battery.
8) Fix the steering wheel taking care the key is properly inserted and the screw is tight enough
(tightening torque 2 KgF.m [20 N.m]).
9) Fit the muffler, the rear bumper and the roll bar.
RUNNING IN – CAUTION!!
Change the engine oil and filter after the first 5 working hours.
Check that there are no oil leaks or slack screws, especially those which fix the blade and the
steering.
BEFORE STARTING UP THE ENGINE
Before starting up the engine, always check that:
– the travel lever is in the idle position (fig. 3);
– the engine oil level is correct (fig. 4);
– the engine cooling intake grilles are clean (fig. 4);
– air filter is clean (fig. 8).
– the mowing deck is clean;
– the hydraulic motor fins are clean (fig. 5);
– the blades are sharp and firmly fastened in place;
– the screw in the centre of the blade hub is safety tightened (3, fig. 9)
– the oil in the hydraulic axle is at the correct level (fig. 5); the correct level is 12 mm underneath the
bottom of the tank (fig. 6);
Fill the fuel tank using a funnel with very fine filter (4, fig. 10).
Adjust the seat by using the lever fig. 11.
STARTING UP THE ENGINE
– Push the throttle half way in (5, fig. 3)
– If the engine is cold, use the choke (6, fig. 3). Turn the ignition key (1, fig. 1).
– Once the engine has started, turn off the choke and wait for a few minutes to allow the engine to
warm up.
N.B. When travelling with the mower from one place to another, you are advised to keep the cutting
deck at the maximum height setting.
SWITCHING ON THE HEADLAMP
To switch on the headlamp, put the ignition key in the second position (fig. 18, position A).
IMPORTANT
It is necessary to switch on the headlamp once the engine has started up to avoid battery discharge.
STARTING WORK
– Choose the desired cutting height by means of the lever 8 fig. 2. Suitably accelerate the engine and
engage the PTO lever using the switch on the dashboard (Fig.1, n°6). Gently operate the forward
travel lever (2, fig. 3) and start work. To stop, return the forward travel lever to the stop position.
– The lever (2, fig. 3) is also used to reverse. When it is moved back, the machine moves backwards;
always operate it gently.
