PUTTING THE MACHINE INTO SERVICE
1) Check that the machine has not been damaged in transit.
2) Check the oil levels of the engine, hydrostatic transmission and final drive.
3) Check the tyre pressure:
1 BAR front wheels 13 x 50/6
1.5 BAR rear wheels 18 x 8.50-8
4) Check the battery voltage; it must be at least 12,5 Volts. Charge if necessary. If the battery has been
supplied dry with the acid separate, proceed as follows to put it into service:
1) add the acid and wait 2 hours.
2)Charge the battery with a battery charger set at 12 volts on slow charge for 2 hours. Caution!
Failure to follow this rule may cause deterioration of the battery and acid leaks during operations.
IMPORTANT!!! During assembly take care not to reverse the polarity of the battery.
BATTERY – CAUTION!
The gases released by the battery are explosive, keep it away from naked lights or sparks. Check the
liquid level periodically and keep the terminals lubricated with appropriate grease.
RUNNING IN - CAUTION!!
Change the engine oil and filter after the first 20 working hours. Check that there are no oil leaks or slack
screws, especially those which fix the blade, the steering and the wheels. Adjust the tension of the
hydrostatic transmission belts (fig. 15).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
BEFORE STARTING UP THE ENGINE
Before starting up the engine, always check that:
– the engine oil level is correct (fig. 4)
− the oil in the hydraulic engine is at the correct level (fig. 3)
− the forward level is in the idle position (fig. 1B, no. 2)
− the engine cooling intake grilles are clean (fig. 5)
– air filter is clean (fig. 6).
– the mowing deck is clean
– the hydraulic motor fins are clean (fig. 7)
– the blades are sharp and firmly fastened in place
– the screw in the centre of the blade hub is safety tightened.
Fill the fuel tank using a funnel with very fine filter (fig. 1A, no. 4).
STARTING UP THE ENGINE
– Push the throttle half way in (fig. 1B, no.5)
– If the engine is cold, use the choke (fig. 1B, no.6). Turn the ignition key on the dashboard (fig. 1, no.
7).
– Once the engine has started, turn off the choke and wait for a few minutes to allow the engine to warm
up.
– To switch off the engine, put the ignition key into the STOP position (fig. 1, no. 7).
N.B. When moving the mower from one place to another, you are advised to keep the cutting deck at the
maximum height setting.
STARTING WORK
– Choose the desired cutting height by means of the lever 8 (fig. 1/C). Suitably accelerate the engine
and engage the PTO lever (fig. 1, no. 1). Gently operate the forward travel lever (fig. 1B, no. 2) and
start work. To stop, return the forward lever to the stop position.
8
MD22/ Translation of the original instructions
– The lever (fig. 1B, no. 2) is also used to reverse. When it is moved back, the machine moves
backwards; always operate it gently.
FRONT BRAKE
The front brake (fig. 22, no. 1) must be used only as emergency brake, sloping down to avoid the
machine sliding. (When it is used with the differential lock, it makes the machine steadier on slopes). The
forward travel lever is normally used to decelerate and to brake.
PARKING BRAKE
To engage the parking brake, please press the lever upwards and lock it to the proper seal retainer (fig.
22, no. 2); in this position, if the forward travel lever is engaged, an acoustic signal warns that the
parking brake is engaged. To adjust the parking brake, use the castellated nut (fig. 21).
CUTTING POSITIONS
The cutting position is adjusted using the lever (fig. 1/C, no. 8).
The deck can be set in 4 different cutting positions from 30 to 90 mm and one travel position in which the
blade disengages automatically (fig. 1/C).
In case of uneven ground, humps or dips, the deck should be kept in the highest cutting position to
prevent knocks by the blade.
SLOPING GROUND
If possible, steep slopes must be mown in the up/down direction, taking great care when turning that the
wheels upstream do not strike obstacles (stones, branches, roots, etc.) which might cause the machine
to overturn, or lead to loss of control.
Assess the conditions and take care if the ground and grass are damp since the machine might
slip. Downhill, set off at low speed and do not pass over dry or cut grass since the wheels lose grip;
INTERVENTION OF SAFETY DEVICES
Remember that the engine will stop whenever:
– The operator gets up from the seat.
The engine will not start up if:
– The blade is engaged.
– Nobody is sitting in the driver’s seat.
– If the cutting deck isn’t at the highest setting.
USEFUL RULES FOR EFFICIENT USE
1) Never strain the engine: when fumes are emitted from the exhaust it means that it is being strained.
Slow down.
2) Do not leave the machine out in the rain.
3) Frequently sharpen the mower blades: the cut will be better and the engine will not be strained as
much.
4) Check the land before mowing to make sure that there are no stones, sticks or foreign bodies.
5) Keep the engine at peak r.p.m. during mowing, adjust the speed according to the height of the grass.
6) Keep the grilles above the engine and the cooling fins of the hydraulic motor (fig. 5 - 7) clean.

locks or supports, never leave it unguarded in places where inexperienced people and children
could have easy access to it.
- Protect the environment: carefully dispose of used oils, petrol and any other pollutant product!
- Efficient maintenance and correct lubrication help to keep the machine in perfect working
order.
ENGINE
For the lubrication intervals, follow the instructions provided in the engine handbook; the oil must in any
case be changed after the first 20 working hours, using AGIP SAE 30 engine oil. To remove the oil,
cut the plastic strapping that keeps the oil discharge pipe attached to the frame (fig. 19/B) and position a
container to collect the exhaust oil. Then unscrew the tap at the end of the pipe using a lock key. Change
the oil filter (fig. 10).

Check the oil level every 100 hours by unscrewing the cap (fig. 11, ref. A); if necessary top up with
80W90 (API GL-5) gearbox oil. To drain the oil unscrew the cap (fig. 11, ref. B). Change the oil every
1000 hours. Quantity 1,9 lt (fill through the tap fig. 12).
HYDRAULIC MOTOR
Check the level in the expansion tank when the motor is cold. It should come up to the level notch (fig.
3). If necessary, add AGIP SAE 15W50 or 20W50m oil. Change the oil every 200 working hours. To drain
the oil, unscrew the cap (fig. 4); pour into the tank. Keep the fins and coil of the hydraulic motor (fig. 3A
and 7) thoroughly cleaned. Quantity 1 litre.
AIR FILTER
Check the air filter every 4 hours, or more frequently if working in a very dusty environment (fig. 6).
Check the air intake grid for engine cooling (fig. 5). The external and internal grids must always be kept
clean to avoid blocking the air flow needed for the engine cooling.
Keep the engine compartment, the hydrostatic transmission and the intake grid clean.
CHECKING THE BLADES AND DECK
A blunt blade tears the grass, leaving it unattractive. The blades cutting edges must be always
sharpened. To remove a blade, take hold of it firmly, wearing work gloves, and unscrew the central
screw, remembering that the screw is located on the right. Sharpen both cutting edges using a mediumgrain grinding wheel and check that the blade is balanced by standing it on a round bar inserted in the
central hole.
CAUTION!
Tighten the fixing screw firmly. Always replace damaged or crooked blades; never attempt to repair them!
ALWAYS USE ORIGINAL BLADES!
130 MP CUTTING DECK
This cutting deck with 3 blades has a cutting width of 1300 mm and has two functions: rear discharge
and mulching. If you want to change from rear discharge function to mulching function you simply have
to add a rear tap, delivered as a standard feature, it is not necessary to change the blades (fig. 25 – 26).

ENGINE BELT - CUTTING DECK BLADE
The engine – blade belt is self-adjusting. Therefore no adjustment is required. Simply check the spring
tension (fig. 14). Check that during operation the belt I always in the centre of the stretcher (fig. 14, ref.
A). The stretcher has to stick about 5/8 mm out of the frame (fig. 24). To replace the belt remove the
spring (fig. 14, ref. B)
130 MP CUTTING DECK MAINTENANCE
To ensure the deck belt works properly and to obtain a uniform cut, please follow these instructions:
- put the cutting deck in the lowest position.
- adjust the front arms (fig. 13) in order to set the front part of the cutting deck at 35 mm from the ground
(fig. 27): measure the point A as indicated in fig. 28.
- regulate the adjusting device (fig. 13/A) in order to set the rear part of the cutting deck at 35 mm from
the ground (fig. 29): measure the point B as indicated in fig. 28.
To check the cutting deck belt, unscrew the knob (fig. 30, ref. D) and remove the two protections. If you
see that the length of the belt has changed, causing therefore its malfunctioning, you can regulate the
belt tension using the adjusting screw (fig. 31). If you want to replace the belt, please see fig. 32 to reassemble it.
The spring has to be adjusted at 77 mm (fig. 31, ref. B). The stretcher has to be lubricated every 50
working hours (fig. 31, ref. C).
ENGINE – HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION BELT
Whenever there is a change in belt length (causing therefore its malfunctioning), the tension can be
regulated by means of the adjustment device (fig. 15). Take care not to compress the spring beneath the
unit completely; belts must be neither too tight nor slack. The spring must be kept set at 44 mm (fig. 15)
BLADE ROTATION
Rotation is started and stopped using the switch no. 1 (fig. 1).
When rotation is engaged , the engine must be running at medium r.p.m (see throttle sticker) and the
machine must not be in the grass for cutting. Never start the blades with the engine at maximum r.p.m.
The machine is equipped with an electromagnetic clutch which also brakes the blade during
disengagement. The blades are also disengaged automatically when the cutting height adjuster lever is
moved to the highest position.
CHANGING THE BELTS
The movement is transmitted from the motor to the hydraulic transmission and to the blades by means of
v-belts. Replace the belts as soon as they show signs of wear!
Their replacement and subsequent adjustment are fairly complex procedures and must be carried out by
an Authorised After-Sales Service Centre.
For the cutting deck – engine belt, release the belt stretcher spring (fig. 14, ref. B)
For the two transmission and hydraulic engine belts proceeds as follows:
-remove the rear and top grids
-undo the belt stretcher nut (fig. 15)
ALWAYS USE ORIGINAL BELTS!
TRACTION RELEASE LEVER
The traction release device is located behind the seat; if the machine breaks down, to allow it to be
towed or moved by hand, move the lever outward (fig. 19/A). In the position shown in fig. 19/B the
machine is in working condition. Check that during working the hydraulic engine piston does not remain
pressed down; if necessary, adjust the nut (fig. 19).
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK ADJUSTMENT
The differential lock has to be activated when the pedal is half way of its travel (fig. 8). To adjust the
activation point of the differential lock use the screw (fig. 9).
