Climber 9.27/ Translation of the original instructions
FRONT BRAKE
The front brake (fig. 23, no. 1) must be used as emergency brake only and on slopes to avoid the sliding
of the machine. When it is used together with the differential lock, it makes the machine very steady on
slopes. The forward lever is normally used to slow down and to brake.
PARKING BRAKE
To engage the parking brake, please press the lever upwards and lock it to the proper seal retainer (fig.
23, no. 2). In this position, if the forward lever is engaged, a warning buzzer warns that the parking brake
is engaged. To adjust the parking brake, use the adjusting screw (fig. 22).
CUTTING POSITIONS
To adjust the cutting height use the lever (fig. 1D, no. 8). The cutting deck can be continuously adjustable
ranging from 3,5 to 13,5 cm. In case of uneven ground, humps or dips, the deck should be kept in the
highest cutting position to prevent foreign objects from hitting the blade.
SLOPES
If possible, steep slopes must be mown in the up/down direction, taking great care when turning that the
wheels upstream do not strike obstacles (stones, branches, roots, etc.) which might cause the machine
to tip, or lead to loss of control. If the drive wheels loose adherence, engage the differential lock (fig. 8).
Study mowing area. Set up a safe mowing pattern. Do not mow where traction or stability is
doubtful since the machine might slip. Downhill, set off at low speed and do not pass over dry or cut
grass since the wheels lose grip.
HOUR METER
The machine is equipped with the an hour meter (fig. 1, n. 8) with three different functions:
1) It always shows the no. of hours worked, even when the key is not inserted.
2) It displays the no. of hours to the next engine oil change (OIL CHANGE IN...HS). The first oil change
must be carried out after the first 20 working hours than every 100 working hours. The indicator "OIL
CHANGE" flashes automatically when it is necessary to change the oil.
3) It displays the no. of hours to the next lubrication (LUBE IN...HS). Lubrication must be carried out
every 40 working hours. The indicator "LUBE" flashes automatically when lubrication must be carried
out.
By pushing the white button you can choose the function to be displayed on the hour meter.
4) To reset the hour meter after the engine oil change or after lubrication proceed as follows:
Push the button until the relative alarm will flash (OIL CHANGE IN...HS or LUBE IN...HS). Then keep the
button pushed for 6 seconds until the alarm stops flashing.
INTERVENTION OF SAFETY DEVICES
Remember that the engine will stop whenever the operator gets up from the seat.
The engine will not start up if:
– The blade is engaged.
– Nobody is sitting in the driver's seat.
– If the forward lever is not in STOP position (fig. 1B, n. 2).
USEFUL RULES FOR EFFICIENT USE
1) Never strain the engine: when fumes are emitted from the exhaust it means that it is being strained.
Slow down.
2) Do not leave the machine out in the rain.
3) Frequently sharpen the cutting blades: the cut will be better and the engine will not be strained that
much.
4) Check the area before mowing to make sure that there are no stones, sticks or foreign bodies.
5) Keep the engine at maximum r.p.m. during mowing, adjust the speed according to the height of the
grass.
6) Keep the grids above the engine and the cooling fins of the hydraulic motor (fig. 5 – 7) clean.
