1.1 HOW TO READ THE MANUAL

Some paragraphs in the manual containing information of particular importance

for safety and operation are highlighted at various levels of emphasis, and signify

the following:

or These give details or further informa-

tion on what has already been said, and aim to prevent damage to the

machine..

Non-observance will result in the risk of injury to oneself

or others.

Non-observance will result in the risk of serious injury or

death to oneself or others.

This manual describes various versions of the machine, which mainly differ in:

– type of transmission: with mechanical gear-change or with hydrostatic contin-

uous speed adjustment. The models with hydrostatic transmission can be

recognised by the word "HYDRO" on the identification label (☛ 2.1);

– the inclusion of components or accessories which may not be available in

some areas;

– special equipment fitted.

The symbol highlights all the differences in usage and is followed by the indi-

cation of the version to which it refers.

The symbol “ ☛” makes a reference to another part of the manual where further

information or clarification can be found.

Whenever a reference is made to a position on the machine

“front”, “back”, “left” or “right” hand side, this is determined by facing the

direction of forward travel.

For all usage and maintenance operations on the engine or

the battery which are not described in this manual, consult the relevant manu-

als which form an integral part of all the documentation supplied with the

machine.

1.2 SAFETY REGULATIONS

(read carefully before using the machine)

A) TRAINING

1) Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of

the equipment.

2) Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the

machine. Local regulations can restrict the age of the operator.

3) Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.

4) Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards

occurring to other people or their property.

5) Do not carry passengers.

6) All drivers should seek and obtain professional and practical instruction. Such

instruction should emphasise:

– the need for care and concentration when working with ride-on machines;

– control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope will not be regained by the applica-

tion of the brake. The main reasons for loss of control are:

– insufficient wheel grip;

– being driven too fast;

– inadequate braking;

– the type of machine is unsuitable for its task;

– lack of awareness of the effect of ground conditions, especially slopes;

– incorrect hitching and load distribution.

B) PREPARATION

1) While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate

the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals.

2) Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all

objects which can be thrown by the machine.

3) DANGER! Petrol is highly flammable:

– store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose;

– refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling;

– add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add

petrol while the engine is running or when the engine is hot;

– If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away

from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until the petrol

vapours have dissipated;

– replace all fuel tank and container caps securely.

4) Replace faulty silencers.

5) Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutter

assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in

sets to preserve balance.

6) On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades

to rotate.

C) OPERATION

1) Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide

EN 4 SAFETY

fumes can collect.

2) Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

3) Before attempting to start the engine, disengage all blade attachment clutches and

shift into neutral.

4) Do not use on slopes of more than 10° (17%).

5) Remember there is no such thing as a “safe” slope. Travelling on grass slopes

requires particular care. To guard against overturning:

– do not stop or start suddenly when going up or downhill;

– engage the clutch slowly and always keep the machine in gear, especially when

travelling downhill;

– machine speeds should be kept low on slopes and during tight turns;

– stay alert for humps and hollows and other hidden hazards;

– never mow across the face of the slope.

6) Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment:

– use only approved drawbar hitch points;

– limit loads to those you can safely control;

– do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing;

– use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when suggested in the instructions manual.

7) Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces other than grass.

8) Never operate the machine with defective guards, or without safety protective

devices in place.

9) Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Operating

the engine at excessive speed can increase the hazard of personal injury.

10) Before leaving the operator’s position:

– disengage the power take-off and lower the attachments;

– change into neutral and set the parking brake;

– stop the engine and remove the key.

11) Disengage drive to attachments, stop the engine and remove the ignition key:

– before cleaning, checking or working on the machine;

– after striking a foreign object. Inspect the machine for damage and make repairs

before restarting and operating the equipment;

– If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately).

12) Disengage drive to blades when transporting or not in use.

13) Stop the engine and disengage drive to the attachment:

– before refuelling.

14) Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out and, if the engine is provided

with a shut-off valve, cut off the fuel when you have finished mowing.

D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working

condition.

2) Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside a building where fumes

may reach an open flame or spark.

3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

4) To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer, battery compartment and

petrol storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.

5) Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

6) If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.

7) On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades

to rotate.

8) When the machine is to be stored or left unattended, lower the cutting deck.

EN 5SAFETY
