2 GETTING TO KNOW THE MACHINE
This machine is a garden tool and precisely a
front cutting ride-on lawnmower with seated
operator.
The machine is equipped with an engine which
drives the cutting device assembly protected by a
casing, as well as a transmission unit that moves
the machine.
The machine is articulated. This means that the
chassis is divided into a front and a rear section
which can be steered in relation to each other.
Articulated steering allows the machine to turn
around trees and other obstacles with an ex-
tremely small turning radius.
The operator is able to operate the machine
and use the main controls, always seated in the
operator's position.
The safety devices installed on the machine
will disengage the engine and cutting device
assembly.

belts.
2.2 MODELS [4WD]
The machine has 4 wheel drive.
Power from the engine to the drive wheels is

The engine drives an oil pump which drives the
rear and front axles (wheels) through a hydraulic
circuit.
The front and rear wheels rotate at the same
speed.
To facilitate steering, both axles are equipped
with differentials.
Front mounted accessories are driven by drive
belts.
