5)After having emptied the grass from the catcher, always engage the blades some metres before getting into the
grass to cut, so both the cutting deck and grass entry ducts are cleaned and the clutch is protected.
6)Keep the pull-out grid in front of the radiator clean.
7)Keep the grass catcher grid clean: before taking it out, apply the safety block (fig. 9, ref. A).
8)If the grass is wet or very tall, do not cut in the lowest position, but at an intermediate height.
9)Check the tension on the belts that work the deck; use the adjuster if necessary (fig. 5, ref. A).
10)Check that the blades are not worn, especially the fins that push the grass into the entry duct.
11)Check the loading accelerator vanes for wear.
12)Check that no foreign objects have clogged the accelerator impeller.
13)Check the rotation of the duct inside the grass catcher.
14)Check that the blades disengage automatically when the grass catcher is full; to do this, turn the ignition key,
turn on the panel without starting the engine, engage the PTO switch (fig. 2 no. 8) and touch with a hand the
lever fitted on the duct sensor (fig. 14). The PTO should now disengage.
15)Check the engine revs. (max. 2600 r.p.m. at no load).
16)Always mow with the engine at maximum revs; if the engine revs drop, slow down for a while to allow the engine
to reach the right level again.
17)Check that the blades are fitted properly.
18)Check that the cutting deck fits correctly and is aligned inside the loading accelerator.
19)CAUTION! For a comfortable driving, the feed and reverse gear pedals (fig. 1no. 1 and no.2) are fitted with
servo-control on the pump, during work on slopes press the pedal without straining the engine.
20)The lawnmower FD2200 is a hydrostatic machine, so it absorbs more power when cold; after e few minutes the
efficiency will be optimal. We inform you that the changeable delivery pump and the hydrostatic engines are of
optimal quality and high efficiency: the minimal loss is 5%.
21)The emergency brake pedal (fig. 1 no. 3) must be used only if there is a real emergency. Normally just release
the feed and the reverse pedals to stop the machine (fig. 1 no. 1 and no. 2).
22)CAUTION! Do not transfer the machine with lifted cutting deck. Use the cutting deck hydraulic lifter only to get
over obstacles, mount on pavements or on kerbs. It is compulsory, instead, to travel on public streets with a type-
approved machine, endowed with a lights system, a plate, with the cutting deck up and with an empty grass
catcher.
MOWING POSITIONS
Use the 4 pins (fig. 11 and fig. 12) to adjust the cutting height.
When working on rough terrain, with bumps or humps, it is best to use the deck in the highest cutting position to
avoid impact with the blade.
Attention! During the cut the deck lifting lever has to be in the «floating» position.
SLOPING GROUND
Steep ground should be tackled in an up-and-down movement, being very careful at direction changes that the
wheels uphill do not meet any obstacles (stones, branches, roots, etc.) which could cause loss of control over the
machine. If the drive wheels tend to slip, use the hydraulic control to slightly raise the deck so that more weight is
exerted on the drive wheels, therefore giving more traction.
Evaluate the various conditions and be careful in the presence of damp ground and wet grass because this could
cause the mower to slide. When going downhill, start off at a slow speed and avoid driving over dry or cut grass
because the wheels could lose their grip. The machine is equipped with a self-engaging differential lock that
automatically activates when going downhill or when the user slows down and the rear wheels lose grip. When the
self-engaging differential lock activates, a light turns on on the button (fig. 2 n. 11).
The manual differential lock (fig. 2 no. 11) must be used only in special cases, for example: if going downhill you
want to reverse the direction of travel, to avoid the rear wheels skidding, or in case of load on motor vehicle in
reverse motion with the presence of ramps. Do not manually engage the differential lock under normal working
conditions. Do not run any risks, check the ground carefully and if you do not feel safe, avoid strong slopes and do
not exceed the speed-limits, which are imposed by your country laws and written also in this manual (max. 18° or
32%).
SAFETY DEVICES
Always remember that the engine stops each time when:
-
the operator gets up from the seat, if the parking brake has not been engaged and the blades and the turbine
have not been disengaged before.
In addition, the engine will not start if:
the PTO switch is engaged;
-
-
the turbine switch is engaged;
-
if there is no one seated on the driving seat, unless the parking brake has been applied and the blades have
been disengaged;
the feed pedals and the reverse pedal are not in the stop position;
-
-
the grass catcher is not completely lowered.
Attention! When the parking brake is applied, it is possible to leave the driving seat with the engine on, provided the
