OWNER’S INFORMATION
Know your product: If you understand the unit
and how the unit operates, you will get the best
performance. As you read this manual, compare
the illustrations to the unit. Learn the location
and the function of the controls. To help prevent
an accident, follow the operating instructions
and the safety rules. Keep this manual for future
reference.
WARNING: Look for this symbol to indicate
important safety precautions. This symbol
indicates: “Attention! Become Alert! Your
Safety Is At Risk.”
Responsibility Of The Owner
WARNING: This cutting machine is
capable of amputating hands and
feet and throwing objects. Failure
to observe the following safety instructions
could result in serious injury or death to
the operator or bystanders.
The responsibility of the owner is to
follow the instructions below.
SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES
For Ride-On (Riding)
Rotary Mower Machines
Training
1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar
with the controls and the proper use of the
equipment.
2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar
with these instructions to use the mower.
Local regulations may restrict the age of
the operator.
3. Never mow while people, especially
children, or pets are nearby.
4. Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
5. Do not carry passengers.
6. All drivers should seek and obtain professional and practical instruction. Such
instruction should emphasize:
a. the need for care and concentration
when working with ride-on machines;
b. control of a ride-on machine sliding
on a slope will not be regained by the
application of the brake. The main
reasons for loss of control are:
l insufficient wheel grip;
l being driven too fast;
l inadequate braking
l the type of machine is unsuitable
for its task;
l lack of awareness of the effect of
ground conditions, especially
slopes;
l incorrect hitching and load dis-
tribution.
Preparation
1. While mowing, always wear substantial
footwear and long trousers. Do not operate
the equipment when barefoot or wearing
open sandals.
F-040730L
2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remove all objects which may be thrown by the machine.
3. WARNING - Petrol is highly flammable.
a. Store fuel in containers specifically de-
signed for this purpose.
b. Refuel outdoors only and do not
smoke while refuelling.
c. Add fuel before starting the engine.
Never remove the cap of the fuel tank
or add petrol while the engine is running or when the engine is hot.
d. If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to
start the engine but move the machine
away from the area of spillage and
avoid creating any source of ignition
until petrol vapours have dissipated.
e. Replace all fuel tanks and container
caps securely.
4. Replace faulty silencers.
5. Before using, always visually inspect to see
that the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace
worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets
to preserve balance.
6. On multi-blade machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to
rotate.
Operation
1. Do not operate the engine in a confined
space where dangerous carbon monoxide
fumes can collect.
2. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial
light.
3. Before attempting to start the engine, disengage all blade attachment clutches and
shift into neutral.
4. Do not use on slopes of more than 10 degrees.
5. Remember there is no such thing as a
“safe” slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To guard against
overturning:
a. do not stop or start suddenly when
going up or downhill;
b. engage clutch slowly, always keep
machine in gear, especially when travelling downhill;
c. machine speeds should be kept low
on slopes and during tight turns;
d. stay alert for humps and hollows and
other hidden hazards;
e. never mow across the face of the
slope, unless the mower is designed
for this purpose.
6. Use care when pulling loads or using heavy
equipment.
a. Use only approved drawbar hitch
points.
b. Limit loads to those you can safely
control.
c. Do not turn sharply. Use care when
reversing.
d. Use counterweight(s) or wheel
weights when suggested in the Instruction Book.
7. Watch out for traffic when crossing or near
roadways.
8. Stop the blades rotating before crossing
surfaces other than grass.
9. When using any attachments, never direct
discharge of material toward bystanders
12
GB
nor allow anyone near the machine while in
operation.
10. Never operate the mower with defective
guards or shields, or without safety protective devices in place.
11. Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Operating
an engine at excessive speed may increase the hazard of personal injury.
12. Before leaving the operator’s position
a. disengage the power take-off and
lower the attachments;
b. change into neutral and set the park-
ing brake;
c. stop the engine and remove the key.
13. Disengage drive to attachments, stop the
engine, and disconnect the spark plug
wire(s) or remove the ignition key
a. before cleaning blockages or unclog-
ging chute;
b. before checking, cleaning or working
on the mower;
c. after striking a foreign object. Inspect
the mower for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating
the equipment;
d. if the machine starts to vibrate abnor-
mally (check immediately).
14. Disengage drive to attachments when
transporting or not in use.
15. Stop the engine and disengage drive to attachment
a. before refuelling;
b. before removing the grass catcher;
c. before making height adjustment un-
less adjustment can be made from the
operator’s position.
16. Reduce the throttle setting during engine
run-out and, if the engine is provided with a
shut-off valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing.
17. Before and when backing, look behind and
down for small children.
18. Use extra care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees or other objects that
may obscure vision.
Maintenance and Storage
1. On multi-blade machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to
rotate.
2. When machine is to be parked, stored or
left unattended, lower the cutting means
unless a positive mechanical lock is used.
3. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be
sure the equipment is in safe working
condition.
4. Never store the equipment with petrol in the
tank inside a building where fumes may
reach an open flame or spark.
5. Allow the engine to cool before storing in
any enclosure.
6. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,
silencer, battery compartment and petrol
storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
7. Check the grass catcher frequently for
wear or deterioration.
8. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
9. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this
should be done outdoors.

Check The Tyres
Check the air pressure in the tyres. Tyres
with too much air pressure will cause the unit
to ride rough. Also, the wrong air pressure
will keep the mower housing from cutting level. The correct air pressure is: Front Tyres
0,97 BAR (14 PSI), Rear Tyres 0,69 BAR (10
PSI)
. The tyres were over inflated for ship-
ment.
Check The Level Of The Mower
Housing
Make sure the level of cut is still correct. After
you mow a short distance, look at the area
that was cut. If the mower housing does not
cut level, see the instructions on “How To
Level The Mower Housing” in the Maintenance section of this instruction book.
How To Install The Seat (Figure 2)
1. Carefully remove the plastic bag from the
seat (1).
2. Align the holes in the seat hinge (2) to the
