End Of Work; Lawn Maintenance - Raider RD-GLM16 User Manual

• Check that the grass attachment is correctly positioned.
• Move the throttle to «FAST».
• Put the cutting unit in the highest position before switching on the blade.
• Avoid engaging the blade on stony ground or when the grass is very tall.
• On particularly sloping surfaces, operate with a higher cutting height to prevent the blade from
striking surface irregularities, resulting in damage to the blade and mechanical parts.
• Release the paddle and move the deck to maximum height every time you go over an obstacle or
hump.
• When adjusting the cutting height and speed of the machine, be careful not to overload the
machine.
• For trouble-free use, the cutting height and travel speed must be adapted to the height and
density of the grass to be cut
• In case of stalling and engine speed drop, engage a lower gear and further raise the blade deck.
When cutting on a slope, reduce the forward speed to ensure safe conditions.
• Use 3rd gear only when moving the machine from one area to another.
EMPTYING THE GRASS COLLECTOR
If the cut grass remains on the ground, it means the grass bag is full: Do not let the grass bag be-
come too full, as this can block the collection channel.
NOTE: This operation can only be performed with the blades off, otherwise the engine will stop.
1. Release the knives.
2. Move to the grass emptying and storage area.
3. Reduce engine speed.
4. Press the brake pedal to stop the machine.
5. Go into neutral (N) and stop the machine from moving forward.
6. Apply the parking brake if you are on an incline.
7. Grasp the rear handle and tilt the bin to empty it (fig.26).
8. Close the grass catcher so that it hangs on the thumb.
UNBLOCK COLLECTION CHANNEL
WARNING! This operation must always be carried out with the engine off and the ignition key
removed.
Cutting very tall or wet grass, especially at too high a speed, can clog the collection chute. If this
happens, do the following:
1. Stop moving forward, disengage the blades and stop the engine.
2. Remove the grass catcher.
3. Remove the pieces of grass; you can reach them from the header outlet.
END OF MOWING
When you have finished mowing, turn off the blades, reduce the engine speed and drive the ma-
chine with the blades raised as high as possible.

END OF WORK

Stop the machine, move the throttle to «SLOW» and turn off the engine by turning the key to
«STOP».
CAUTION! Always remove the ignition key before leaving the machine unattended!
IMPORTANT! To keep the battery charged do not leave the key in the «ON» position,
when the engine is not running.
• Manual start - move the gas lever to «OFF».
Always make sure that the throttle level is in the «OFF» position before leaving the machine unat-
tended!

LAWN MAINTENANCE

• Do not attempt to mow through unusually tall dry or wet grass (e.g. pasture) or piles of dry leaves.
Debris can build up on the deck of the mower or come into contact with the engine exhaust, pos-
ing a potential fire hazard.
