Before starting the engine:
– open the fuel stopcock (1) (where
supplied), which you can reach
from the left-hand rear wheel arch;
– put the gear lever ( for me-
chanical transmission) or the
speed change lever pedal (
hydrostatic transmission) into neu-
tral («N»);
– disengage the blade;
– on slopes, engage the parking
brake:
Afterwards:
– put the accelerator lever to «CHOKE», as shown on the label, if
the engine is cold. If the engine is already warm, put the lever be-
tween «SLOW» and «FAST»;
– put in the key and turn to «ON» to make electrical contact, then
turn to «START» to start the engine. Release once the engine has
started.
When the engine is running, put the accelerator into the «SLOW»
position.
IMPORTANT
The choke must be closed as soon as the
engine is running smoothly. Using it when the engine is already
warm can foul the spark plugs and cause the engine to run errati-
cally.
NOTE
If there are engine starting problems, do not
insist as you can risk running the battery flat and flooding the en-
gine. Turn the key to «OFF», wait for a few seconds and then re-
peat the operation. If the malfunction persists, refer to the engine
manual and chapter «8» in this manual.

Mechanical transmission
Put the accelerator control between the «SLOW» and «FAST»
positions, and the gear change lever in the 1st speed position.
Keep the pedal pressed down and disengage the parking brake.
Slowly release the pedal which will turn from «brake» to «clutch»,
thus operating the rear wheels.
The pedal has to be released gradually as a sudden engagement
may cause tipping up and loss of control of the vehicle.
Gradually reach the desired operating speed using the accelera-
tor and gear lever. To change the gear speed the clutch must be
used pushing the pedal down half way.
