ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING THE HANDLE
The handlebar must be adjusted to the height of the work to be carried out. Loosen the locking levers, adjust the
handlebar to the required height and then re-adjust the levers to close them, making sure that the toothed wheels of
the locking system are properly seated between them.
ATTENTION: For more safety, the height adjustment of the handlebar is limited by a locking system.
Do not attempt to adjust the handlebar to a height where the toothed wheels are not engaged
with each other.
ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT
This mechanism raises/lowers the mower deck and has several steps. When
setting cutting height, keep in mind that weeds can spread more easily in very
short grass. If the grass is long, it may be necessary to cut it in several passes,
lowering the cutting height little by little. To set the cutting height:
1. Pull the height adjustment lever outward so that it disengages with
the teeth.
2. Move the lever forward to raise, or backward to lower the cutting
height.
3. Release it at the desired height.
The positions vary from 1 to 7 with a cutting range of 25mm to 75mm.
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.
