IMPORTANT
Before starting cutting grass, take care of the proper
positioning of the grass collector.
RIDING AND MOWING
Proceed with the following steps:
1. Start engine and drive tractor to the lawn.
2. When on the lawn, engage mower clutch with
toggle switch (fig. 16).
3. Switch the MAN/AUTO button to the lower
AUTO position (fig. 11, d).
4. Depress slowly the forward movement pedal to reach
the desired speed.
IMPORTANT
While starting the blades, keep the throttle in the
middle position, to save the belt and clutch from
premature wear and possible damage.
SPEED RANGES
The slowest speed is used for mowing on slopes or
mowing high wet grass.
The lower the grass is, the higher the speed should be.
When tractor is used for transport (not cutting). Depress
the forward movement pedal for maximum speed.
As soon as the blades strike any solid object the shear
bolts will break. Immediately stop the engine! Check
the blades! Replace the broken shear bolts only with
factory originals. Check to make sure that all blade
mounting bolts are tightened.
IMPORTANT
MOWING HINTS
1. We advise mowing the lawn in a longitudinal
and cross direction, overlapping previous cut,
which allows the lifting action of the blades into
the cutting path.
2. Forward speed of the lawn tractor must be
controlled in accordance with the type and
quantity of grass being mowed.
IMPORTANT
The more grass that must be cut, the slower the
forward speed should be.
ALWAYS: In case of any obstacles, immediately
disengage the blades and lift the mower deck to the
highest level.
