10 – GRASS CUTTING AND PICK-UP

Use of the front attachment lift

To operate the front attachments lift, the operating lever is the outermost lever located to the right of the drivers seat.
In the fore and aft setting the lever is neutral and is intended to lock the attachment, providing that the position is
maintained.
Pull the lever as shown in the above pictures to lift the attachment. Pull it until the operation is completed. DO NOT
OPERATE BLADES WHEN THE DECK IS LIFTED.
Forward lever setting allows the attachment to be floatable, this means it suits to the ground structure.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO COMPLY WITH THE GENERAL SAFETY RULES DESCRIBED FOR THE
USE OF THE MACHINE, THAT ARE:
- Do not allow anyone to get on the machine.
- Operate a safe distance away from persons.
- Keep hands, feet and clothing far from all moving parts.

PTO ENGAGEMENT

- Engage the PTO lever to activate the mower deck blades and
the intake turbine at the same time.
- Set the accelerator lever from 3/4 to 4/4 of its travel, according
to working conditions. Do not use less than ¾ throttle or
optimum cutting and intake operations will not be achieved.
- Check that the grass distribution system is operative. The
electric motor switch is located on the external side of the
grasscatcher, on the motor itself (see side picture No. 1). The
operator can easily check the operation of the electric motor
(see par. "Inspections and Maintenance").
- During work, the grass is automatically taken and collected in
the rear container.
- An acoustic buzzer sounds when the container is full. At
this point immediately stop and disengage the PTO to stop
grass intake and prevent the conveyor or stack from
becoming clogged;
- Move to the dumping area.
