Finishing Work - Grillo FD 2200 TS stage V Bedienungsanleitung

8) When the grass catcher is full, a sensor (fig. 14, A) automatically disengages the mower deck blades to prevent
the grass chute from clogging; press the button (fig. 1, no. 8) to raise the grass-catcher, then the press the button
(fig. 1, no. 9) to empty it.
9) Then bring the grass-catcher back into position and follow the instructions again starting from no. 3 to keep on
working.

FINISHING WORK

Once mowing has been completed, disengage the blades and the turbine (fig. 2, no. 7). To stop:
1) Release the forward pedal (fig. 1 no. 1 – no. 2).
2) Set the throttle lever to minimum speed (fig. 1, no. 6).
3) Lower the cutting deck to the ground using the appropriate button (fig. 1, no. 7)
4) Turn the engine off by turning the key (fig. 1, no. 4) in the "0" position and engage the parking brake (fig. 1 no.
11).
TIPS FOR THE EFFECTIVE USE OF THIS LAWNMOWER
The machine can also be used under the most demanding conditions without any risk of clogging up. The following
measures must be taken and all devices must be adjusted properly.
1) Before starting work check that the deck and the entry ducts are perfectly clean without any dried grass or soil
residue.
2) Check the ground before mowing, make sure there are no stones, sticks or foreign objects.
3) While mowing keep the engine at maximum rpm, adjust the speed to suit the height of the grass. Be careful when
coming across tall thick clumps of grass, slow down.
4) Sharpen the mower blades regularly (fig. 13); the cut will be better and the engine will not have to work so hard.
5) After having emptied the grass-catcher, always engage the blades some metres away before driving into the
grass again, so both the cutting deck and grass entry ducts are cleaned and the clutch is protected.
6) Always keep the radiator grid thoroughly clean (fig. 8).
7) Keep the grass catcher grid clean: to remove the grid (fig. 10) take the safety pin out (fig. 15) then lower the lock
lever (fig. 16).
8) Adjust the micro-switch (fig. 14, A) and its support (fig. 14, B) inside the grass-catcher to ensure a uniform filling.
9) If the grass is wet or very tall, do not cut in the lowest position, but at an intermediate height.
10) Check the tension of the mower deck belts and adjust it, if necessary (fig. 6, ref. A).
11) Check that the blades are not worn, especially the fins that push the grass into the load chute (fig. 13).
12) Check the turbine blades for wear.
13) Check that no foreign objects have clogged the turbine.
14) Check the rotation of the duct inside the grass catcher (fig. 14, C).
15) Check the engine rpm (max. 2950 r.p.m. void), they are displayed on the dashboard.
16) Always mow with the engine at maximum rpm; if the engine rpm 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 properly aligned with the turbine.
19) CAUTION! For a comfortable drive, the forward and reverse gear pedals (fig. 1, no. 1 and no.2) are fitted with a
servo-control on the pump, during work on slopes press the pedal without straining the engine.
20) The lawnmower FD2200TS stage V is a hydrostatic machine, so it absorbs more power when cold; after a few
minutes the efficiency will be optimal. We inform you that the variable displacement 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 forward or reverse pedals to stop the machine (fig. 1, no. 1 and no. 2).
22) CAUTION! Do not transfer the machine with the cutter deck raised. Use the cutter deck hydraulic lift (fig. 1, n. 7)
only to drive over obstacles, mount pavements or kerbs. It is compulsory to travel on public streets with a type-
approved machine fitted with a light system, registration plate, with the cutter deck up and with an empty grass
catcher.
MOWING POSITIONS
To adjust the cutting height, use the button (fig. 2, n. 1) and check the cutting label located on the mower deck (fig.
12). 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 cutting the deck lifting lever has to be in the «floating» position
(fig. 1, n. 7 – all forward position).
