4 INSTALLATION

4.1 TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

• Always proceed step by step when raising/lowering the machine.

During inspections/maintenance/cleaning under the mower deck, the machine must always be tilted backwards (by lowering the handlebar to the ground) to prevent oil or fuel from leaking. This procedure must always be carried out with the engine switched off and parts at a standstill.
- When loading onto a vehicle, always use stable ramps, taking care to proceed at minimum speed and to keep the wheels of the machine within the guides.

4.1.1 Packaging

The machine is packed as shown in the following photo:

CAUTION! POSITION THE LIFTING FORKS OF THE FORKLIFT TRUCK AT THE GRIPPING POINT SHOWN IN THE ILLUSTRATION!

4.2 STORAGE

The following is recommended for longer machine downtimes:

• Empty the fuel tank;
• Lubricate the cylinder with suitable products, which you can purchase from your dealer;
  Clean the air filter;
• Drain the remaining petrol from the carburettor chamber;
• Grease parts of the machine whose paintwork has been removed by wear or impact, as well as parts whose galvanisation is worn, to prevent possible rust formation.

4.3 ASSEMBLY

IMPORTANT

Ensure that the cables are not pinched, crushed, twisted or overstretched when fitting the guide rails! Always route the cables on the outside of the rail connection. A damaged cable can lead to a technical defect in the appliance.

• Mounting the lower part of the guide rail: (Figure 4-2) Remove the nuts (1), washers (2) and screws (3) from the tool bag and screw the lower part of the guide rail (5) tightly to the support bar (4) on the appliance. There are 3 holes in the support bracket (4) for adjusting the rail inclination Upper hole = steep bar position (for taller people) Lower hole = flat bar position (for smaller people)
• Mounting the upper part of the guide rail: (Figure 4-3)

Remove the grip nuts (1), washers (2) and screws (3) from the tool bag and tighten the upper part of the guide rail (5) with the lower part of the guide rail (4) by hand.

• Tighten all screw connections firmly.
  Finally, secure the cables to the lower part of the guide rail using the cable ties in the tool bag.

Illustration 4-2

Illustration 4-3

4.4 PRELIMINARY CHECKS

• Ensure that the stickers with the safety instructions are in order and in good condition.
• Ensure that the machine is free of dirt and plant residues.
• Ensure that all covers, grilles and guards are in order and in good condition.

Before starting the engine

• Visually check for fluid leaks and defective or missing parts. Carry out the necessary repairs before using the machine again.
  Ensure that the oil level is not below the minimum level: Unscrew the plug at the rear of the engine, wipe the dipstick with a cloth and screw the plug back on. Unscrew the plug again and ensure that the level is between the minimum and maximum markings. If the level is below the minimum value, top up the oil until the optimum level is reached (ask your dealer for the correct oil).

ATTENTION!! THE MACHINE IS SUPPLIED WITHOUT ENGINE OIL

• Ensure that all screws are firmly tightened.
• Check that all shifting brackets are in the neutral position.

Illustration 4-4: Idle position of the shifting brackets

60-PRO T DRIVE

60-PRO T PUSH

50-PROC DRIVE

• Clean the air filter if it is dirty.
• Fill the machine with fuel using a funnel with filter.
• Open the fuel tap and, if the engine is equipped with one, operate the carburettor choke.
• For a cold start of the engine, move the throttle lever to the START position and wait a few minutes until the engine has reached operating temperature before bringing it up to full speed.
  Take the starter handle of the engine in your hand and then pull it firmly.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU ALSO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MOTOR MANUAL.

Before starting work, ensure that there are no persons, animals or objects within a radius of at least 30 metres; then start the engine and bring it to full speed as soon as it is warm.

4.5 WASTE DISPOSAL

The machine must be completely dismantled, whereby the parts must be separated according to their materials and the applicable waste disposal regulations must be observed.

7.4 PROPER MAINTENANCE

In general, the oil level should be checked at least every 8 operating hours and the air filter should be cleaned every 4 hours or even more frequently if working in very dusty areas.

Remove any grass clippings from the motor head to ensure better air exchange.

To ensure proper operation of the machine, the engine should never be overloaded; if white smoke rises from the exhaust, the speed should be reduced.

Ask your dealer to carry out this work, which requires special equipment and expertise.

Cutting system (knife, thread, disc)	Knives: Check that they are securely screwed down and in good condition. Replace if necessary. Thread: Check that it is tight. Replace if it is worn out. Disc: Check that it is firmly seated and in good condition. Replace if necessary.
Mower safety switch bracket	Check the correct cable tension.
Engine	Observe the operating instructions for the motor.

7.6 DIAGNOSIS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

A. The engine does not start: Ensure that

• there is fuel in the tank (Illustration 7-1 No. 10).
  the petrol tap, if fitted to the engine, is not closed.
  the throttle lever is in the START position when the engine is cold.
  the throttle lever is not in the START position when the engine is warm (this could flood the engine).

• the throttle lever is not in the STOP position.
• the fuel enters the carburettor.
  the air filter is not clogged (Illustration 7-1 No. 13).
• the vent opening on the tank cap is not blocked by impurities (Illustration 7-1 No. 10).
• the spark plug can generate sparks.

If these measures do not lead to the desired result, we recommend that you contact your dealer.

B. The cutting unit (line/blade) does not rotate when the mower deck safety switch bracket is actuated: (Illustration 7-2 No. 1)

• Ensure that the belt is not worn or torn.
• Ensure that the belt has not come loose from the belt pulleys.
• Ensure that the lever can tighten the belt sufficiently.

C. The cutting unit continues to rotate after the mower safety switch bracket is released: (Illustration 7-2 No. 1)

• Check whether the brake on the belt pulley is activated. If this is not the case, loosen the adjustment of the detent lever for mowing until the Ferodo pads rest on the shoulder of the pulley.
• Check whether the Ferodo lining is worn.

D. The machine is not working properly: check:

whether the blades/ thread are not too worn (Illustration 7-3 No. 21). If the thread is worn, it should be replaced as follows:
- Switch off the motor, remove the old thread from its seat, take a new thread, tie a simple knot in the centre (Illustration 7-4) and then insert it into its seat;
that the air filter (Illustration 7-1 No. 13) is not too clogged, which leads to a considerable loss of engine power. In this case, it must be blown out with compressed air or replaced with a new one, which you can purchase from your dealer.
- that the petrol does not run out.
that the engine oil level has not fallen below the minimum level (Illustration 7-1 No. 11).
that none of the 4 belts are too worn.
that none of the floating blades are stuck and cause strong vibrations of the machine (Illustration 7-3 No. 21).

Illustration 7-4: Replacing the thread

E. The machine does not move after actuating the drive control lever:

• Change the Bowden cable setting if the Bowden cable is too loose.
• Ensure that the drive belts are not too worn.

NEVER CHANGE THE SETTINGS OF THE BOWDEN CABLES IF THE PURPOSE IS NOT KNOWN! THIS COULD IMPAIR THE CORRECT FUNCTIONING OF THE MACHINE!
