right hand.
ROTOR DISENGAGEMENT: To disengage the rotor, it is sufficient to push down the knob with the palm of
your hand.
Please note: The rotor must completely stop within 7 seconds from its disengagement. If
not, contact a service centre for the required inspection.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR A CORRECT and SAFE CUT:
The rotor rotation is made possible by an electromagnetic clutch and belt drive.
Before each use, check the rotor conditions. It is essential to perform all cutting operations with all blades
intact and well sharpened. To understand if one or more blades need to be replaced, refer to
Grease the rotor support bearings as described in
to use the machine. Check the rotor and/or contact a specialised workshop. An unbalanced rotor generates
vibrations which are harmful both for the operator and the machine.
The cutting height must take into account the work surface: if bumps or holes are present, adjust the
height so to avoid that the blades reach the bottom of the terrain.
In all cases where cutting operations are not foreseen (e.g. transfers), the rotor must be kept in its highest
position to avoid the risk of impact with the ground or foreign bodies.

ROTOR ENGAGEMENT:
It is advisable to engage the cutting element with the engine hot and at its
maximum RPMs, with the travel direction pedal in neutral position and with
the rotor free to rotate. The cutting element must be engaged BEFORE
entering the work area, and not in the middle of the vegetation.
To engage the cut, operate the knob #6 (chap. 6a) highlighted on the side, as
follows: with the thumb of the right hand, press down the safety button No.1
