6- Rotor Engagement Knob (PTO)
The knob must be in the lowest position (PTO off = rotor
disengaged) to start the engine.
Then, with the engine running and at maximum RPMs, two
actions must be taken to engage the rotor (PTO ON) and begin
the mowing work.
(1) With the thumb of your right hand, press down on the central black button.
(2) With your other fingers, pull the knob upwards from underneath the yellow part.
7- Key block
Turn the key to the ON position, wait for 2 seconds, then to START, until the engine starts.
If the engine does not turn on, do not force it: check whether all electrical requirements
for the start-up consent are met (which are explained in the next chapter). To turn the
engine off, go back to the OFF position.
8- Throttle
The engine runs from a minimum of approx. 1500 rpm (control in MIN position) to a maximum
of approx. 3200 rpm (control in MAX position). For cold starts bring the throttle all the way,
past the maximum (CHOKE) to close the air. When the engine is hot bring it back and while
mowing ALWAYS keep it at maximum revs. Before switching off the machine, bring the engine
back to idle for a few moments.
9 – Seat longitudinal adjustment lever
To move the seat forward or backward and adjust it to the operator's height, the lever [#9] shown in the
figure is used. Move it outwards (i.e. right from the operator position), move forward or backward together
with the seat, release the lever, make a last movement until the seat can be heard clicking into its new
position. Note: the seat adjustment must be carried out while the machine is off and before starting to work:
NEVER attempt to adjust the seat when the machine is on or, even worse, while it is on a slope.
10 – Cutting height adjustment lever: floating and fixed positions
Lever [#10] allows to adjust the cutting height and adapt to the terrain conditions.
To raise the cutting height: pull the lever upwards along the grid central rail (see
drawing on the side) and place it sideways in the desired position among the floating
(1 to 5) or fixed ones (A to D).
To lower the cutting height: move the lever back to the centre of the grid, lower it
and fix it in the new desired position, choosing among the floating (1 to 5) or fixed
ones (A to D).
The lowest positions (A and 1) correspond to a cut of approximately 3cm.
Position 5 corresponds to a cut of approximately 9cm.
Floating positions
and placed on the left side of the selection grid (from the operator's point of view). In these positions, if
the deck encounters a small bump, it can rise a few centimetres following the terrain, and then returns to
the selected height once it has passed the bump.
of the mowing deck means those that can be selected from 1 to 5
