– T o go from one height to another, press the
release button at the end of the lever.
4.11 GRASS CATCHER TIPPING LEVER
(Fig. 4.1 no.11)
This pull-out lever tips and empties the grass
catcher. This means less work for the operator.
4.12 REVERSE GEAR CUTTING
CONSENT BUTTON (Fig. 4.1 no.12)
By pressing and holding this button, it is pos-
sible to switch to reverse gear with the cutting
means engaged without causing the engine to
stop.
4.31 BRAKE PEDAL (Fig. 4.2 no.31)
This pedal works the brake on the rear wheels.
4.32 CLUTCH PEDAL (Fig. 4.2 no.32)
This pedal engages drive in the wheels and con-
trols the machine's forward and reverse speed.
– T o engage forward gear just press it in the «F»
direction with the tip of your foot, noting that
increasing the pressure on the pedal progres-
sively increases the speed of the machine.
– R everse is engaged by pressing the pedal
with the heel towards «R».
– T he pedal automatically goes into neutral «N»
when released.
– T he "neutral" condition «N» is shown bythe
lighting of a pilot lamp (4.7.h).
WARNING! Reverse must be engaged
when the machine has stopped.
NOTE If the drive pedal is used, whether
forwards or for reverse, when the parking brake
(4.5) is engaged, the engine stops.
4.33 HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION
DISENGAGEMENT LEVER
(Fig. 4.2 no.33)
This lever has two positions as shown on the
label:
«A» = T ransmission engaged: for all uses,
when moving and during cutting;
«B» = T ransmission disengaged: this makes
it much easier to move the machine by
hand, with the engine turned off.
IMPORTANT To avoid damaging the trans-
mission unit, this operation must be carried out
only when the engine has stopped with the pedal
(4.32) at position «N».

instructions (see 5.5) if the equipment will
mainly be used on sloping land (never over
10 degrees.
IMPORTANT All the references relating to

chapter 4.

5.2 WHY THE SAFETY DEVICES CUT IN

The safety devices work in two ways:
– t hey prevent the engine from starting if all the
safety requirements have not been met;
– b y stopping the engine if even just one of the
safety requirements is lacking.
a) To start the engine, it is necessary that:
– t he transmission is in "neutral";
– a ll the cutting means are disengaged;
– t he operator is seated;
b) The engine stops when:
– t he operator leaves his seat;
– the grass catcher is lifted or the rear dis-
charge guard removed without disengaging
the cutting means;
– t he parking brake is engaged without disen-
gaging the cutting means;
– t he speed change is activated (see 4.22) or
the drive pedal (see 4.32) with the parking
brake on.

5.3 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS BEFORE

STARTING WORK

Before starting to operate, it is necessary to
carry out several checks and operations to en-
sure you can work efficiently and in maximum
safety.
5.3.1 Seat adjustment (Fig. 5.1)
The seat is sliding and adjustable in six different
positions.
Adjustment is made by lifting the handle (1) and
sliding the seat until it is locked in the required
position.
5.3.2 Tyre pressure (Fig. 5.2)
Having the right tyre pressure is the main condi-
tion for ensuring that the cutting-means assem-
bly is horizontal and mows evenly.
