HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
➤
For hydrostatic drive models:
Move on slopes with the speed change lever in the «N» position, (to take
advantage of the hydrostatic unit's braking effect) and then further reduce
the speed using the brake, if necessary.
DANGER!
!
Control of the machine could be lost, particularly on slippery surfaces.

MPTYING THE GRASS
NOTE
done with the blade disengaged, otherwise the
engine stops.
When the grass-catcher is full an audible warning
is given. STOP FORWARD MOVEMENT, in order
not to block the collector channel, and disengage
the blade which will stop the audible signal.
Empty the grass-catcher by lifting it using the han-
dle.
NOTE
may be heard on engaging the blade even when the grass-catcher has been
emptied. This is due to grass cuttings left on the sensor of the micro-switch. To
stop the signal, either remove the remaining grass or disengage the blade and
then immediately engage it again.
E
MPTYING THE COLLECTOR CHANNEL
Cutting very tall or wet grass, particularly at too high a speed, can cause the col-
lector channel to become blocked. Should this happen, it will be necessary to:
– stop forward movement, disengage the blade and stop the engine;
– take off the grass-catcher or stone-guard;
– remove the accumulated cuttings going in through the exit of the collector
channel.
WARNING!
!
Never use reverse for reducing speed going downhill.
