COLLISION WITH A STONE OR OTHER OBSTACLE
– Stop the machine.
– Switch off the engine, unhook the lawnmower and check that the blade fixing screws have not been sheared;
if so, replace them (fig. 26).
Check the blade synchronisation see fig. 15. If the blades are not synchronised, they can be adjusted by backing
off the central screw and undoing the two drive screws fig. 15/A (there are several holes provided in the hubs).
IMPORTANT
To move the machine with the engine off, operate the lever fig. 27.
MECHANICAL PARKING BRAKE
It is important to keep the cable fig. 28 properly adjusted; when disengaged, the lever must be free and in the zero posi-
tion. To engage the brake, move the lever n. 7 fig. 1 to the "P" position. When the parking brake is engaged (fig. 2 P)
and the PTO is disengaged, it is possible to temporarily leave the steering seat without that the engine turns off.
THE MACHINE "CREEPS" WHEN PARKED
Adjust the flow of oil in the hydraulic motor using the register (fig. 29). This must be done with the motor cold.
ELECTRICS
The electrical system is protected by fuses which cut out the entire system if tripped. The fuses are located inside
the bodywork close to the seat (fig. 30).
After identifying and repairing the fault, replace the blown fuse with another of the same rating.
Never replace a fuse with one of different rating.
If the problems persist after the above procedures have been carried out, contact your Authorised Service Centre.
Never attempt to carry out complex repairs if you do not have the necessary equipment and technical skills.
If the engine or the battery are out of order, it is possible to open the grass catcher manually, removing the fixing
pin of the electric actuator (fig. 31).
FINISHING WORK
When you finish mowing, to stop, take your foot off the pedal (fig. 1 n. 1), set the throttle lever on idling speed and turn off the engine
by turning the key (fig. 1 n. 5 to STOP position). Engage the parking brake and always turn off the petrol tap (fig. 7 ref. A).
CLEANING
Internal cutting deck washing: this operation must be done on a solid floor. You have to connect a water pipe in
the proper joint fig.32 and letting the water flow in for a few minutes, with:
– the driver sits at his drive seat;
– the engine in motion;
– the gearbox in neutral gear;
– the blade engaged.
Durante il lavaggio è opportuno che il piatto si trovi completamente abbassato.
Never use a high-pressure water cleaner to wash out the engine compartment; use compressed air or a vacuum cleaner.
CHARGE CHANNEL
It is possible to disassemble it, only pulling it toward high (fig. 33), after having opened the grass catcher.
LENGTHY PERIODS IN STORE
The machine should be stored in a dry place protected from the weather; cover it with a sheet of canvas if possible.
If it is to be out of use for more than 1 month, disconnect the negative battery lead and follow the instructions in
the engine handbook; also lubricate all the joints. Check the battery voltage periodically, ensuring that it does
not drop below 12 Volts. If this occurs, charge the battery. Use the preservative additive for unleaded petrol. If
the machine is to be out of use for more than 30 days, drain the fuel from the engine to prevent sticky deposits
from forming in the fuel intake system or in vital parts of carburettor. To protect the engine we advise you to use
the Briggs & Stratton fuel additive, available from all Briggs & Stratton authorised services centres. Add the ad-
ditive to the fuel in the tank or in the fuel container. Run the engine a little to circulate the additive through the
carburettor. The engine and carburettor can be stored for up to 24 months.
NB.: If no additive are used or the engine is running on petrol which contains alcohol, drain the fuel tank and run
the engine until there is no fuel left.
TRANSPORT
If the machine is transported on a truck or trailer, lower the deck, engage the parking brake and ensure that the
mower is secured to the conveyance by means of ropes, cables or chains.
