• Never allow children or persons unfamiliar with these instructions to use the machine. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
• Never use the machine if the user is tired or unwell, or has taken medicine, drugs, alcohol or any substances which may slow his reflexes and compromise his judgement.
• Do not allow children or other passengers to ride on the machine.
• Bear in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or unexpected events occurring to other people or their property. It is the user's responsibility to assess the potential risk of the area where work is to be carried out, and to take all the necessary precautions to ensure his own safety and that of others, particularly on slopes or rough, slippery and unstable ground.
• If the machine is sold or lent to others, make sure that the operator looks over the user instructions contained in this manual.

2.2 PREPARATION

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

• Always wear suitable work attire, hard-wearing safety footwear with non-slip soles and long trousers. Do not operate the machine when barefoot or wearing open sandals. Wear hearing protection devices.
• The use of hearing protection devices may reduce the operator's capacity to hear warnings (cries or alarms). Monitor the area in and around the working zone at all times.
• Never wear scarves, shirts, necklaces, bracelets, clothing with flowing parts, laces or ties or any hanging or flapping attachments that could catch in the machine or in any objects or materials in the work area.
• Tie your hair back if it is long.

Work area/Machine

- Thoroughly inspect the entire work area and remove anything that could be thrown by the machine or damage the cutting device/rotating units (stones, branches, iron wire, bones, etc.).

Internal combustion engines: fuel

DANGER! The fuel is highly flammable.

• Keep the fuel in approved containers, in a safe place, away from any naked lights or heat sources.
• Keep the containers and storage area free of grass cuttings, leaves, or excessive grease.
• Keep the containers out of the reach of children.
• Do not smoke when filling up with fuel or when handling the fuel.
• Use a funnel to top up with fuel only in the open air.
• Do not inhale fuel fumes.
• Never remove the tank cap or add fuel while the engine is running or when the engine is hot.
• Open the fuel tank slowly to allow the pressure inside to decrease gradually.
• Do not approach the tank opening with a naked flame to check its contents.
• If you have spilt some fuel, 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 fuel has evaporated and fuel vapours have dissipated.
• Immediately clean up all traces of fuel spilt on the machine or on the ground.
• Replace caps of all fuel tanks and containers securely.
• Never start the machine in the same place in which you refilled it with fuel; the engine must be started in an area at least 3 metres from where you refuelled.
• If fuel is spilt on clothing, change clothing before starting the engine.

2.3 DURING OPERATION

Work Area

• Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can develop. All starting operations have to be carried out in an open or well ventilated area. Always remember that exhaust gases are toxic!
• When starting up the machine, do not direct the silencer and therefore the exhaust fumes towards flammable materials.
• Do not use the machine in environments at risk of explosion, in the presence of flammable

liquids, gas or powder. Electrical contacts and mechanical friction can generate sparks that can ignite the powder or vapours.
- Work only in daylight or with good artificial light in good visibility conditions.
- Keep persons, children and animals away from the working area. Instruct another adult to supervise any children in the vicinity.
- Avoid working with wet grass, in the rain and when there is a risk of a thunderstorm, especially lightening
- Pay careful attention to uneven ground (hills, dips), slopes, hidden hazards and obstacles that could limit visibility.
- Be very careful near ravines, ditches or embankments. The machine could overturn if a wheel slides over the edge or if the earth gives way.
- Pay attention on sloping ground which requires particular care to prevent overturning or loss of control of the machine. The main reasons for loss of control are:

- Insufficient wheel grip

- Excessive speed

- Inadequate braking

– Type of machine unsuitable for its task

– Lack of awareness of the effect of ground conditions, especially slopes

- Incorrect use as a towing machine.

• Be careful of traffic when operating the machine close to public roads.
• To avoid the risk of fire, do not leave the machine standing in high grass with the engine running.

Behaviour

• When working behind the wheel, do not become distracted and maintain the required level of concentration.
• Exercise caution when reversing or moving backwards. Look behind you to make sure there are no obstacles before and during operations in reverse gear.

- Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment:

– Use approved draw-bar hitch points only when towing;

– Limit loads to those that can be handled safely;

- Do not turn sharply. Take care when reversing;

- Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights whenever advised in the owner's manual.

• Pay attention when using the grass catcher and attachments that can alter the stability of the machine, especially on slopes.
  • Always keep hands and feet away from the cutting device, when starting and when using the machine.

• Attention: the cutting device will continue to rotate for a few seconds after disengagement or after you have switched off the engine.

• Pay attention to cutting device assembly with more than one cutting mean, as rotating cutting device can trigger the rotation of the others.
• Keep away from the discharge opening.
• Do not touch the engine parts which heat up during use. Burns hazard.
• To avoid the risk of fire, do not leave the machine standing in high grass with the engine running.

⚠️ If something breaks or an accident occurs during work, turn off the engine immediately and move the machine away to prevent further damage; if an accident occurs with injuries or third parties are injured, carry out the first aid measures most suitable for the situation immediately and contact the medical authorities for any necessary health care. Carefully remove any debris which could cause damage or injury to persons or animals if ignored.

Use limitations

• Never operate the machine with guards damaged, missing or incorrectly assembled (grass catcher, side discharge guards rear discharge guards)
• Don't use the machine if the attachments/tools are not installed in their seats.
• Never disengage, deactivate, remove or tamper with the safety systems/micro-switches installed.
• Do not alter the engine regulator settings, or run it at overspeed. Excessive engine speeds increase the risk of injury to operators and other persons.
• Do not strain the machine too much and do not use a small machine for heavy-duty work. If you use the right machine, you will reduce the risk of hazards and improve the quality of your work.
• The machine has not been approved for use on public roads. It must be used (as indicated by the highway code) in private areas closed to traffic.

Ensure regular maintenance and correct storage to maintain machine safety and high performance levels.

Maintenance

• Never use the machine with worn or damaged parts. Faulty or worn-out parts must always be replaced and never repaired.
• To reduce the risk of fire, regularly check the machine for oil and/or fuel leaks.
• Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving parts of the cutting device and fixed parts of the machine.

The noise and vibration levels shown in these instructions are the maximum levels for use of the machine. The use of an unbalanced cutting device, the excessive speed of movement, or the absence of maintenance have a significant influence on noise emissions and vibrations. Consequently, it is necessary to take preventive steps to eliminate possible damage due to high levels of noise and stress from vibration. Maintain the machine well, wear ear protection devices, and take breaks while working.

Storage

• Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank in an area where fuel vapours could reach a naked light, a spark or a strong heat source.
• To reduce fire risks, do not leave containers with debris inside a room.

2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Safeguarding the environment must be a relevant and priority aspect of machine use, of benefit to the community and the environment we live in.

• Avoid being a disturbance to the neighbourhood. Use this machine at reasonable times of the day only (not early morning or late evening when the noise could cause disturbance).
• Adhere strictly to the local regulations governing the disposal of packaging, oil, fuel, filters, damaged parts or any other element which may have an impact on the environment; this waste should not be disposed of along with standard household waste, but must be disposed of separately and sent to special waste disposal facilities for handling and recycling.
• Comply with local regulations for the disposal of waste materials
• When the machine is withdrawn from service, do not dispose of it in the environment, but take it to a waste disposal facility in accordance with the local regulations in force.

Before starting to mow, it is necessary to carry out several checks and operations to ensure you can work efficiently and in maximum safety.

1. ensure the machine is level and resting safely on the ground:
2. select the appropriate operating mode (par. 6.1.4);

6.1.1 Filling with oil and fuel

IMPORTANT The machine is supplied without engine oil or fuel.

Before using the machine check for fuel and the oil level (par. 7.2, par. 7.3). For refuelling and oil top-up methods and precautions follow the instructions given in (par. 7.2, par. 7.3) and in the engine handbook.

6.1.2 Seat adjustment

The sliding seat may be set to one of six different positions.

To adjust it, lift the handle (fig. 17.A), slide the seat and lock it in the desired position.

6.1.3 Tyre pressure

Having the right tyre pressure is the main condition for ensuring that the cutting device assembly is horizontal and mows evenly.

1. Unscrew the valve caps
2. Connect a compressed air line with a gauge to the valves (fig. 18)
3. Adjust the pressure according to the values indicated in the "Technical Data" chart.

6.1.4 Preparing the machine before starting work

NOTE This machine can be used to mow lawns in a number of different ways; before starting work, prepare the machine based on how the lawn is to be mowed.

a. Preparation for grass cutting and collection in the grass catcher (for rear collection models only)

– Couple the grass catcher (fig. 19.A) to its supports (fig. 19.B) and centre it with respect to the plate, making sure that the two reference marks are aligned (fig. 19.B).
- Make sure that the lower pipe of the grass catcher opening is attached to the pawl (fig. 19.C).
- If the coupling is difficult or too loose, regulate the retaining spring (see 8.9).

b. Preparation for mowing and rear grass discharge (models with rear grass catcher only) (if fitted)

- If you decide to work without the grass catcher, a rear discharge guard kit is available upon request (Fig. 20, section 15.7) which must be securely mounted on the rear plate as indicated in the instructions provided.

c. Preparation for mowing and mulching of grass

- If you decide to mow the grass, mulching it and leaving it on the grass, a "mulching" kit is available upon request (chap. 15.1). This has to be attached to the rear plate as indicated in the instructions.

In the case of models with side discharge, make sure that the lateral discharge support has been mounted (fig. 22.A) (if fitted).

d. Prepare the machine for cutting and lateral grass discharge (for models with side discharge only):

– Always make sure that the spring inside the deflector (Fig. 21.A) and the safety lever (Fig. 21.B) operate correctly, holding it firmly in the lowered position.

- When cutting tall or wet grass, we recommend removing the lateral discharge strengthener (fig. 22.A) (if fitted). - To remove the strengthener, undo the screws (fig. 22.B) while maintaining the side discharge chute in the raised position (fig. 22.C).

In the event of collisions without the side discharge strengthener fitted (fig. 22.A), the cutting device assembly may be deformed.

⚠️ Always remember to replace the side discharge strengthener after use.

6.1.5 Positioning the anti-scalping wheels

The anti-scalping wheels are used to reduce the risk of tearing up sections of lawn, which can occur when the edge of the cutting device assembly drags over irregular ground. Position the wheels as indicated (par. 7.4).

6.2 SAFETY CHECKS

Run the following safety checks and check that the results correspond to those outlined on the tables.

Always carry out the safety

checks before use.

6.2.1 General safety check

Object Result
Battery No damage to the	casing,cover or terminals
Rear discharge guard,grass catcher	Good condition. Nodamage. Properlyinstalled.
Side dischargeguard, suction grid	Good condition. Nodamage. Properlyinstalled
Fuel lines andconnections.	No leaks.
Electrical cables. All insulat	on intact.No mechanical damage.
Oil lines No leaks.	No damage.
Safety devices Proceed as	indicatedin par. 6.2.2

6.2.2 Control of safety devices

The safety devices work in two ways:

A. they prevent the engine from starting if all the safety requirements have not been met;
B. by stopping the engine if even just one of the safety requirements is lacking.

Action Result
1. gear in “neutral”;2. cutting device disengaged;3. operator seated.	The engine starts
the operator leaves his seat The engine stops

Action Result
the grass catcher is lifted or the rear discharge guard removed without disengaging the cutting device (for rear collection models only)	The engine stops
the parking brake is engaged without disengaging the cutting device	The engine stops
the speed change is activated or the drive pedal with the parking brake engaged	The engine stops
the reverse gear is engaged with the cutting device engaged, without pressing the consent button (par. 5.10)	The engine stops
Drive the machine forwards and backwards, shift to neutral /release the drive pedal (par. 5.2; par. 5.3)	The machine slows down and stops
Press the brake pedal (par. 5.1)	The machine stops
Test driving No abnormal	vibrations.No abnormal sound

If any of the results fail to match the indications provided in the tables, do not be the machine! Contact a service centre to see it checked and repaired if necessary.

IMPORTANT Always bear in mind that the safety devices prevent the engine from starting if safety requirements have not been met. In these cases, once the start consent has been reinstated, the ignition key (fig. 15.A) must first be turned back to Off before the engine can be restarted.

6.3 USING ON SLOPES

Comply with the limits indicated in the "Technical Data" Tables as in "fig. 24" regardless of the mowing direction.

Remember there is no such thing as a "safe" slope. Driving on grass slopes requires particular care. To prevent overturning or loss of control over the machine:

- Never mow across the face of the slope. Lawns on a slope have to be mowed moving up and down and never across them. When changing direction, take great care that the wheels facing the slope do not hit any obstacles (such as stones, branches, roots,

etc.) that may cause the machine to slide sideways, tip over or make you lose control.

• Do not stop or start suddenly when going up or downhill;
• 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.

- In order to exploit the braking effect of the hydrostatic drive, when the transmission is not engaged, avoid pressing the drive pedal when moving down hill

6.4 START-UP

1. Open the fuel tap (fig. 25.A) (if provided).
2. Sit in the operator's position.
3. Put the drive into neutral («N») (par. 5.2; par. 5.3).
4. Disengage the cutting device (par. 5.9).
5. Engage the parking brake (par. 5.7).

6. Shift the throttle control to maximum "hare" speed position (par. 5.6).

7. If cold starting: engage choke control (para 5.6) (if present).

8. Insert the key switch and turn it to the running position to engage the electric circuit. Wait for 2 seconds and turn it to the start-up position 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:

10a. Deactivate the choke command (par. 5.6, type "II"), setting the accelerator command to the maximum speed - "hare" (if fitted).

10b. Deactivate the choke command (par. 5.6, type "I") (if fitted).

NOTE Using the choke when the engine is already warm can foul the spark plugs and cause the engine to run erratically.

1. When the engine has started, shift the throttle control to the minimum «tortoise» speed position.

NOTE If there are engine starting problems, do not persist as you can risk running the battery flat and flooding the engine. Turn the key to the Off position, wait for a few minutes and then repeat the operation. If the malfunction persists, refer to the engine manual and chapter «14» in this manual.

6.5 OPERATION

⚠️ Drive must be engaged in accordance with the modes described (paragraph 5.2) to avoid sudden meshing, jerking start and loss of control of the vehicle, especially on slopes.

6.5.2 Braking

Reduce machine speed by decreasing the engine speed, then press the brake pedal (par. 5.1) to reduce the speed further, until bringing the machine to a standstill. The machine can be significantly slowed down by releasing the drive pedal (section 5.2).

6.5.3 Reverse gear

IMPORTANT Reverse must be engaged when the machine has stopped.

1. Press the pedal (par. 5.1) until the machine comes to a stop;
2. Start reversing by pressing the drive pedal in the "R" direction (par. 5.3).

6.5.4 Grass cutting

To operate the machine proceed as described below:

1. shift the throttle to the maximum speed position ("hare"); this position is always used when using the machine;
2. bring the cutting device assembly to the highest position;
3. engage the cutting device (par. 5.9) only on grass lawns; avoid engaging them on stony ground or when the grass is very high;
4. When starting to cut grass, start off slowly and carefully, as described above;
5. Regulate the speed and cutting height (par. 5.11) according to the lawn conditions (grass height, density and humidity) and the quantity of grass to be removed;
6. The appearance of the lawn will be improved if the grass is always cut at the same height and in two alternating directions (fig. 27).

IMPORTANT To proceed in reverse gear with the cutting device engaged, it is necessary to press and hold the consent button (par. 5.10) so as not to cause the engine to stop.

Lower the speed whenever you note a drop in engine speed, since a forward speed that is too fast compared to the amount of grass being cut will never mow the grass well.

Disengage the cutting device and move the cutting device assembly to the highest position:

• When moving between work areas
  – When driving on grass free surfaces
  – Every time it is necessary to overcome an obstacle.

6.5.5 Suggestions for maintaining a nice lawn

• To keep a lawn green and soft with a good appearance, it should be cut regularly. A lawn can be composed of different types of grass. If the lawn is cut frequently, grass and roots grow more vigorously, forming a solid grassy bed. If the lawn is cut is less frequently, higher grass and weeds start growing (clover and daisies, etc.). The frequency of mowing should be in relation to the rate of growth of the grass, which should not be left to grow too much between one cut and the next.

• The best height of the grass on a well-kept lawn is approx. 4-5 cm and with one mowing, you do not need to remove more than a third of the total height. If the grass is very tall, it should be cut twice in a twenty-four hour period. the first cut should be carried out with the cutting device at the maximum height, and the second cut at the desired height (fig. 26).

• If the cutting device are positioned too low, they will tend to rip the grass out by its roots, resulting in a "patchy" effect.

• During hot and dry periods, the grass should be cut a little higher to prevent the ground from drying out.
• It is always better to cut the grass when dry. Do not cut grass when wet; this may reduce the effectiveness of the cutting device, due to the grass getting stuck to it, and result in the grass being ripped out of the ground.
• The cutting device must be in good condition and well sharpened so that the grass is cut straight without a ragged edge that leads to yellowing at the ends.
• The engine must run at full speed, both to ensure a sharp cut of the grass and to get the necessary thrust to push the cuttings through the discharge chute.
• If the discharge chute tends to get blocked with grass, you should reduce the forward speed as it may be too high for the condition of the grass. If the problem persists, the probable causes are either badly sharpened cutting device or deformed fins.
• Be very careful when mowing near bushes or kerbs as these could distort the horizontal position of the cutting device assembly and damage its edge as well as the cutting device.

6.5.6 Emptying the grass catcher (for rear collection models only)

NOTE The emptying of the grass catcher can only be done with the cutting device disengaged, otherwise the engine stops.

• Do not let the grass catcher become too full as this may block the discharge chute.

• When the grass catcher is full you will hear a warning sound:

• disengage the cutting device (par. 5.9) and the audible signal will stop;

• shift the throttle control to minimum "tortoise" speed position
• stop moving forward and switch to neutral (par. 5.2; par. 5.3);
• engage the parking brake;

- Manual command

1. extract the lever (fig. 28.A) and tip the grass catcher bag up in order to empty it;
2. close the grass catcher again so that it remains coupled to the pawl (fig. 28.B) and replace the lever.

• Electrical command

1. with the operator in the sitting position, press and hold the button (fig. 28.C) until the grass catcher bag is in the fully tipped position;

2. once the bag is empty, press and hold the button (fig. 28.D) until the grass catcher bag is fully lowered, make sure that it remains coupled to the pawl (fig. 28.B).

NOTE After emptying the grass catcher bag, the acoustic signal may be reactivated when the cutting device are engaged, this is caused by caused by traces of grass remaining attached to the indicator micro-switch sensor; if this happens, disengage and re-engage the cutting device immediately to silence the buzzer.

Ensure the sensor (fig. 28.E) is always kept free from traces of grass.

6.5.7 Cleaning the discharge chute (for rear collection models only)

- Cutting very tall or wet grass, particularly at excessively high speed, can clog up the discharge chute. If it clogs, follow the instructions provided in chap. 7.6.2.

6.5.8 Mowing completed

When mowing has been completed:

1. disengage the cutting device;

2. decrease the engine's r.p.m.

3. drive back with the cutting device assembly in its highest position.

6.6 STOP

To stop the machine:

1. shift the throttle lever to minimum "tortoise" speed position

To avoid backfire, leave the throttle in the minimum "tortoise" speed position for 20 seconds before switching off the engine.

1. switch off the engine by turning the ignition key to Off;

2. with the engine turned off, close the fuel tap (fig. 25.A) (if provided);

3. remove the key from the ignition

IMPORTANT To keep the battery charged, do not leave the ignition key in the «on» or «headlights on» position when the engine is not running.

The engine may be very warm immediately after it is shut off. Do not touch the exhaust or adjacent parts. This can cause burn injuries.

6.7 AFTER OPERATION

1. Allow the engine to cool before storing in an enclosed space.

2. Clean (par. 7.6).

3. Make sure there are no loose or damaged components. If necessary, replace any damaged components and tighten loose screws or bolts, or contact an Authorised Service Centre.
