Check the tightening of bolts, refering to the tightening torque chart
The safety is one of our main worry when designing and manufacturing this machine. Therefore,
negligence in the use of the machine should reduce our efforts to nothing. The prevention strictly
depends on the care and on the skill of the user when applying and maintaining the machine.The
best safety method remains a careful and skilled user ; we wish you to be this kind of user.
The user of this machine is responsible for its safe use. He must be a skilled user specially trained for
the use of this machine. Read the safety instructions. This machine has been designed to mow grass.
It is not designed for any other operation. It is not designed to transport other tools or materials that
might damage it and cause injuries to the user. It must not be used to carry persons.
Never use the machine without having priorly carried out all the maintenance operations as
described in the daily maintenance chapter.
Never let children or unskilled persons use the machine. Check that nobody or no object
stands near the machine when at work. They could be hit by the moving parts.Nobody must
stand on the machine except the driver. Never put your hands under moving parts.

TARTING OF THE ENGINE
 Turn the fuel cock to "ON".
 Check that cutting blade is disengaged, and Driving lever range is in neutral position « N ».
 Pull choke lever if engine is cold or push throttle lever half of his stroke if the engine is hot. Pull the
starter rope. When the engine has started, push back the choke lever.
 Select a speed ratio and travel to the mowing path.
MOWING
Start the engine
Adjust the height of cut as needed.
Do not forget that it is better to mow a few grass often than an important quantity in one
operation. Short grass do not resist to dry weather, and the blade can hit the grown with
damage and thrown objects. Working in slopes is very dangerous. Never work in slopes more
than 15°.
Increase engine speed to the maximum. Push down the blade
clutch lever (2, Figure 8) then engage the blade tension lever
(3, Figure 8) slowly. Then go forward in the grass to mow.
The best cutting speed depends of quantity and the density of
the grass. Usually it is asked to mow between 2,5 and 6 Km/H.
A tall grass will be cut slowly and a low grass will be cut faster.
