- Use on slopes: the most dangerous situations require even greater attention if the machine is on steep
slopes. It is advisable to remember that, when on slopes, the machine must ALWAYS move in the direction
of the gradient and never transversely. The most critical stage in terms of tip-over hazard is the direction
change and steering movement while on a slope. Pay the utmost attention! For further information on the

- TRAVEL DIRECTION: pedal [#1 in
controlling the direction and speed of movements and consists
of two separate appendages depending on the direction in
which you want to proceed. Press the left one forward to go
from standstill to the maximum speed. (As indicated by the
engraved arrow). Press the right pedal forward to go in reverse
(as indicated by the engraved arrow). In both cases lift your foot
to decrease the speed. Machine will stop when the pedal
reaches its rest position (i.e. neutral position). If the pedal does
not automatically return to the neutral position (when the foot
is
raised),

Pay the utmost attention especially when operating in reverse, also due to the limited view
compared to the forward operations. Contain the speed, check beforehand the presence of
possible obstacles behind the machine, act slowly both on pedal and steering wheel.

advisable to use the brake pedal. Press it until the end to have a strong brake, but ONLY after having released,
with the same foot (the right one), the travel direction pedal.
The simultaneous use of brake [#4] and pedal [#1] is DETRIMENTAL to the internal components of the
hydrostatic transmission. Any warranty claim deriving from such an incorrect use will be rejected.
- PARKING/SERVICE: as explained in chapter 6a on control elements, the machine is equipped with a
mechanical lock [lever #2] of the brake pedal [#4], which therefore makes it a parking/service brake.
Before parking and leaving the vehicle:
– Disengage the rotor.
- Progressively raise the right foot from the travel direction
pedal until it automatically returns to the NEUTRAL position.
- Bring the throttle to the minimum.
- Activate (again using the right foot) the pedal brake by
pressing it forward.
- Activate lever #2 by hand until it is locked in position (as
shown in the figure on the side) with the brake pedal still
pressed.
- Raise the foot from the brake pedal.
- Turn the machine off urning the key to OFF.
Only at this point it is possible to get off and leave the vehicle.
To RESTART from parking:
repeat the steps described above in reverse order; more importantly, before acting on the travel direction
