USE
When the engine is idling (slowest continuous running speed), the cutting action is minimal. As the engine speed
increases, the cutting action becomes more efficient. Operate the engine at a sufficient speed to provide the desired
cutting action. This may vary depending on the type of grass, grass height and density, etc.
THROTTLE
Manual throttles motors usually have a choke setting on the throttle that is used to start the engine when it is cold.
Once the engine is started, the machine can be used. For manual throttle machines, you adjust the engine speed
manually. For example, when cutting thicker or longer grass, increase the engine speed.
SELF-PROPELLED LEVER
The self-propelled function (forward steering only) allows the rear wheels to be operated automatically so that you
do not need to push the device and make cutting easier. The function is switched on and off with the self-propelled
lever. When the bar is released, the unit stops. The speed of acceleration is
not directly controllable, however, it may vary slightly with engine speed.
When the engine is not running, if the unit's activation bar is activated, the
acceleration gears engage, which can make it difficult for the mower to
move. It is recommended to release the activation bar from the unit when
changing direction, reversing, etc.
To activate this function, hold the gear lever against the handlebar. To
deactivate the function, release the lever.
CUTTING TYPES AND LAWN DISCHARGE
CUTTING USING THE GRASS CATCHER
With the grass catcher installed, all the cut grass cuttings will be collected inside the grass catcher. The grass catcher
is used to catch the grass while working.
INDICATOR
The grass catcher is equipped with a window that indicates the level of grass cuttings during the work.
•
When the window is open, there is still space to pick up grass in the grass catcher.
•
When the window is closed, the grass catcher is full and must be emptied.
Empty the basket regularly while you work. Do not wait until it is full, it is recommended to empty it when it is half full.
CUTTING USING THE REAR DISCHARGE OR MULCHING
If the grass catcher is not installed the lawn will be thrown towards the back. To use the mulching option, you must
install the mulching attachment on the back of the mower and keep the side discharge closed. When mulching the
cut grass is finely chopped inside the mower chassis and can be left on the cut grass as a "grass feed", as fertilizer
or organic fertilizer.
1.
Remove the grass catcher and hold the mower cover with your hand.
2.
Install the mulching cap in the rear discharge port and make sure that the side discharge is closed.
ATTENTION: Only place or remove the mulching cap when the engine is off.
CUTTING USING THE SIDE DISCHARGE
Lift the side discharge chute and place the side discharge deflector.
ATTENTION: Only hold and remove the side discharge deflector when the engine is off.
