SECTION 4 - CONTROL COMPONENTS
4.2 ENGINE
The machine is equipped with a high-quality petrol engine
from the USA, which guarantees the product a long service
life. The engine is equipped with an innovative electronic
control system (ECU) that constantly monitors the envi-
ronmental conditions and engine performance in order to
always offer the best and most economical performance.
To start the engine, see chap. 5.2. Although the engine is
equipped with forced lubrication in order to work on slopes,
it is advisable not to exceed 35 °.
The working limit angles are displayed on the machine and in the lower part of the
remote control
IMPORTANT:
Do not leave the machine on a slope with the engine running. Lubrication without
shaking can be insufcient and cause the engine to break. Also, avoid parking the
machines on a slope to prevent engine uids from spilling. Always drive the
machine on level ground when parking and switching off the engine.
Therst50workinghoursrepresenttherun-inoftheengine.Duringthisrstperiodwe
recommend not to use the machine at the full power. It is also necessary to leave the
engine running for few minutes at the idle speed for warming after starting. A sudden use
at the max power just after starting cause a thermal shock to the engine components.
4.2.1 AIR FILTER
Theengineisequippedforalterfortheinletair.Inthecase
ofdrygrassandcongestedareas,theairltermustbeclea-
ned very often (every 2 hours). If dry blades of grass stick to
the automatic openings of the engine’s power generator (Fig.
7-J),itisverylikelythattheyarealsointheairlter,which
mustbecleaned.(seeSection7.1.2).Acloggingoftheairl-
tercanleadtoalossofengineperformance.Theltershould
be cleaned daily under normal conditions.
4.2.2 FUEL TANK
The double tank holds 32 liters of petrol, which should gua-
rantee 6 hours of work. Before starting work, remember to
refuel. The fuel level in the second tank is 3 liters and is indi-
cated by an indicator light on the remote control, which indi-
cates that it is time to refuel. Interrupt the work and bring the
machinetollonlevelground.
DANGER:
Be careful when refueling: Petrol is highly explosive. Do not attempt to refuel if
anyone is smoking or standing near sparks or open ames.

4.3 MOWER DECK
The cutting deck has a special shape to reduce the power
requirement. The knife is driven directly from the motor
via a belt that is connected to an electromagnetic (EM)
clutch. The knives are activated with a button on the re-
mote control and electronically controlled depending on
the engine status. (see chapter 5.7). The blades used
are a compromise between cutting results and impact
resistance to enable heavier work. The knives and knife
fastening screws as well as the chains and rubber
guards on the mower deck are SAFETY COMPONEN-
TS and must be checked regularly (see maintenance
program in section 7.2.1.) The cutting height can be
set directly via the remote control and is indicated by the
display on the right-hand side of the machine (see Figure
8). For maintenance of EM coupling, knives and belts see
chapter 7.2.7.
4.4 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The machine is driven electrically. 4 microprocessors
control the functions of the machine to ensure maximum
safety at all times. A motor-driven alternator generates a
voltage of 48 V (Extra Low Voltage - ELV), which is safe
from electrical hazards for people. The caterpillars are
driven by 2 brushless motors that are electronically con-
trolled by 2 inverters that run sophisticated software that
makes the machine easy to use and flexible. The radio
receiver and the fuse and relay box are easily accessible
via the switch cabinet on the back of the machine (Fig. 9).
The electrical system has protection class IP 54.
4.5 BEACONNET
Themachineisequippedwithacoloredashinglightthat
can easily tell the operator the status of the machine: on,
off, alarm, danger, PTO on, power steering, etc.
This simple tool is very effective and convenient for the
operator who receives information simply by watching the
machine in motion. (See Section 5)

4 - REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
SECTION 4 - REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
4.6 TRANSMISSION
The power is transmitted to the tracks via two robust and low-noise spur gears. The por-
tal shape of the drive enables a very low center of gravity, which is only 15 cm from the
ground. The design technology of the motors ensures a high torque even at standstill.
These two properties make the machine suitable for steep inclines, and in the event of a
power failure, a passive braking system prevents the machine from being out of control
and descend uncontrollably
4.7 RADIO CONTROL
The remote control has robust and reliable electronics that allow the control of all move-
ments of the machine. It works with a frequency of 2.4 GHz and AFA technology (Auto-
matic Frequency Adjustment), which automatically searches for the freest transmission
frequency in the event of interference.
Special Functions
The radio control is equipped with a display that allows the visualization of alarm mes-
sages with a code indicating the type of anomaly. In the event of an alarm, vibration
attracts the operator’s attention.
