6. USING THE MACHINE

The safety regulations to follow
are described in chap. 2. Strictly
comply with these instructions to
avoid serious risks or hazards.
6.1 PREPARATION
Before starting to mow, it is necessary to carry
out several checks and operations to ensure you
can work efficiently and in maximum safety.
1. ensure the machine is level and
resting safely on the ground:
2. select the appropriate operating
mode (par. 6.1.4);
6.1.1 Filling with oil and fuel
IMPORTANT The machine is
supplied without engine oil or fuel.
Before using the machine check for fuel and
the oil level (par. 7.2, par. 7.3). For refuelling
and oil top-up methods and precautions
follow the instructions given in (par. 7.2,
par. 7.3) and in the engine handbook.

6.1.2 Seat adjustment

The sliding seat may be set to one
of six different positions.
To adjust it, lift the handle (fig. 17.A), slide
the seat and lock it in the desired position.

6.1.3 Tyre pressure

Having the right tyre pressure is the main
condition for ensuring that the cutting device
assembly is horizontal and mows evenly.
1. Unscrew the valve caps
2. Connect a compressed air line with
a gauge to the valves (fig. 18)
3. Adjust the pressure according to the values
indicated in the "Technical Data" chart.
6.1.4 Preparing the machine
before starting work
NOTE This machine can be used to
mow lawns in a number of different ways;
before starting work, prepare the machine
based on how the lawn is to be mowed.
a. Preparation for grass cutting and
collection in the grass catcher (for
rear collection models only)
– Couple the grass catcher (fig. 19.A) to
its supports (fig. 19.B) and centre it with
respect to the plate, making sure that the
two reference marks are aligned (fig. 19.B).
– Make sure that the lower pipe
of the grass catcher opening is
attached to the pawl (fig. 19.C).
– If the coupling is difficult or too loose,
regulate the retaining spring (see 8.9).
b. Preparation for mowing and rear
grass discharge (models with rear
grass catcher only) (if fitted)
– If you decide to work without the grass
catcher, a rear discharge guard kit
is available upon request (Fig. 20,
section 15.7) which must be securely
mounted on the rear plate as indicated
in the instructions provided.
c. Preparation for mowing and
mulching of grass
– If you decide to mow the grass, mulching
it and leaving it on the grass, a "mulching"
kit is available upon request (chap.
15.1). This has to be attached to the rear
plate as indicated in the instructions.
In the case of models with
side discharge, make sure that the
lateral discharge support has been
mounted (fig. 22.A) (if fitted).
d. Prepare the machine for cutting
and lateral grass discharge (for
models with side discharge only):
– Always make sure that the spring inside
the deflector (Fig. 21.A) and the safety
lever (Fig. 21.B) operate correctly,
holding it firmly in the lowered position.
– When cutting tall or wet grass,
we recommend removing the
lateral discharge strengthener
(fig. 22.A) (if fitted).
– To remove the strengthener,
undo the screws (fig. 22.B) while
maintaining the side discharge chute
in the raised position (fig. 22.C).
In the event of collisions without
the side discharge strengthener
fitted (fig. 22.A), the cutting device
assembly may be deformed.
Always remember to replace the
side discharge strengthener after use.
