Operation Manual

Load the machine with the engine stopped, no driver seated, only by

pushing the unit, with the appropriate number of people. While being

transported, lower the cutting deck, engage the parking brake and fasten

the machine securely with ropes or chains to the hauling device.

5.7 ADVICE ON HOW TO OBTAIN A GOOD CUT

1. To keep a lawn green and soft with a good appearance it should be cut regular-

ly and without damaging the grass.

2. It is always better to cut the grass when dry.

3. The blades must be in good condition and well sharpened so that the grass is

cut straight without any ragged edge that leads to yellowing at the ends.

4. 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 collector channel.

5. 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.

6. During hot and dry periods, the grass should be cut a little higher to prevent

the ground from drying out.

7. If the grass is very tall, it should be cut twice in a twenty-four hour period. The

first time with the blades at maximum height, possibly reducing the cutting width,

and the second cut at the height wanted.

8. The appearance of the lawn will improve if

you alternate the cutting in both directions.

9. If the collector system tends to get blocked

with grass, you should reduce the forward

speed since this may be too high for the condi-

tion of the grass. If the problem persists, the

probable causes are either badly sharpened

blades or deformed wings.

10. Be very careful when mowing near bushes or kerbs since these could distort

the horizontal position of the cutting deck, and damage its edge as well as the

blades.
