• Shift to drive gear very gently paying
particular attention to prevent the
machine from tipping up.
• Reduce speed:
– before changing direction
and during tight turns
– before facing a slope, particularly downhill
• Never switch to reverse gear to decrease
speed when going downhill: this could
cause loss of control of the machine,
especially on slippery ground.
• Always engage the parking brake
before leaving the machine at a
standstill and unattended.
• For models with mechanical drive
only Never ride the machine on slopes
in neutral or with the clutch out!
Always shift into a low gear before leaving
the machine at a standstill and unattended.
• For models with hydrostatic drive
only: Drive down slopes with your foot
off the drive pedal to use the braking
effect of the hydrostatic transmission
when the transmission is not engaged.
6.4 STARTUP
1. Open the fuel tap (fig. 20.A) (if provided).
2. Sit in the operator's position.
3. Put the drive into neutral («N»)
(par. 5.5; par. 5.7).
4. Disengage the cutting means (par. 5.8).
5. Engage the parking brake (par. 5.3).
6. Shift the throttle control to maximum
"hare" speed position (par. 5.2).
7. If cold starting: engage the
choke (par. 5.2 / par. 5.2.1)
8. Insert the ignition key and turn to On
to make electrical contact, then turn
it to Start to start the engine.
9. Release the ignition key once
the engine has started.
10. If cold starting: as soon as the
engine ticks over regularly:
10a.
Disengage the choke
(par. 5.2 type "ll"), shift the throttle control
to maximum "hare" speed position.
10b.
Disengage the choke (par. 5.2, type "I").
NOTE Using the choke when the engine
is already warm can foul the spark plugs
and cause the engine to run erratically.
11. When the engine has started, shift
the throttle control to the minimum
«tortoise» speed position.
NOTE If there are engine starting problems,
do not insist as you can risk running the
battery flat and flooding the engine. Turn
the key to the Off position, wait for a few
seconds and then repeat the operation. If
the malfunction persists, refer to the engine
manual and chapter «14» in this manual.
6.5
OPERATION
6.5.1 Forward gear and riding
without mowing
When moving the machine:
• disengage the cutting means (par. 5.8);
• bring the cutting-means assembly to
the highest position (position «7»);
• shift the throttle control to a point
midway between the «tortoise»
and «hare» speed positions.
• For models with mechanical drive only:
1. Press the pedal all the way down
(par. 5.4) and shift the gear
lever to 1st gear (par. 5.5).
2. Hold the pedal down (fig. 10.1) then
disengage the parking brake (par. 5.3).
3. Slowly release the pedal which will turn
from «brake» to «clutch» mode, thus
operating the rear wheels (par. 5.4).
The pedal has to be released
gradually, as a sudden engagement
may cause the vehicle to tip over
and the driver to lose control.
4. Gradually reach the desired speed
using the throttle and gear lever.
To change gear, press the clutch
halfway down (par. 5.4; par. 5.5).
IMPORTANT Gear must be engaged
when the machine has stopped.
• For models with hydrostatic drive only:
1. Disengage the parking brake and
release the brake pedal (par. 5.6).
2. Press the drive pedal (par. 5.7)
in the "forward drive" direction
and reach the required speed by
gradually increasing pressure on the
pedal and working the throttle.
Drive can only be engaged following
the procedure illustrated (par. 5.7 to
prevent sudden engagement which may
cause the vehicle to tip over and the driver
to lose control, especially on slopes.
