The brake pedal (fig. 1, n. 4) must be used as emergency brake only and it has a double function: it
brings the forward lever back to the stop position and it engages the brake on the rear hydrostatic
axle. To slow down and brake the machine under normal circumstances, use the forward lever only
(fig. 1B, n. 12).
ARKING BRAKE
To engage the parking brake (fig. 1C, n. 7) hook the lever. If the forward lever is engaged when the
parking brake lever is in this position, a warning buzzer goes on signalling that the parking brake is
engaged. To adjust the parking brake use the adjusting screw (fig. 7, ref. B).
CUTTING OSITIONS
To choose the cutting height (fig. 1C, n. 8) move the lever towards the seat and set it at the required
height. The cutting height can be continuously adjusted from 35 up to 135 mm. In case of uneven
ground it is recommended to set the cutting deck at the highest cutting height to avoid impacts with
the blade. To adjust the cable, use the adjusting screw (fig. 7, ref. A).
SLO ES
If possible, 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. If the driving wheels lose grip engage the differential
lock on the rear hydrostatic axle. The differential lock is engaged pressing the pedal (fig, 1, n. 5): the
differential lock disengages automatically when the pedal is released. 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.
HOURMETER
The machine is equipped with the an hour-meter (fig. 1, n. 2) with three different functions:
1) It always shows the no. of hours worked, even when the key is not inserted.
2) It displays the no. of hours to the next engine oil change (OIL CHANGE IN...HS). The first oil
change must be carried out after the first 2 working hours than every 1 working hours. The
indicator “OIL CHANGE” flashes automatically when it is necessary to change the oil.
3) It displays the no. of hours to the next lubrication (LUBE IN...HS). Lubrication must be carried out
every 4 working hours. The indicator “LUBE” flashes automatically when lubrication must be carried
out.
By pushing the white button you can choose the function to be displayed on the hour meter.
4) To reset the hour-meter after the engine oil change or after lubrication proceed as follows:
Push the button until the relative alarm will flash (OIL CHANGE IN...HS or LUBE IN...HS). Then hold
the button pushed for 6 seconds until the alarm stops flashing.
SAFETY DEVICES
The engine switches off each time the operator gets up from the seat without having engaged the
parking brake. In addition the engine does not start if:
- The blade is engaged.
- Nobody is sitting in the driver’s seat and the parking brake is not engaged.
- the forward lever is not in neutral position (fig. 1B, n. 12).
TI S FOR EFFICIENT USE
1) Never strain the engine.
2) Do not leave the machine out in the rain.
11

Climber 10/ Translation of the original instructions
3) Frequently sharpen the mower blades. The cut will be better and the engine will not be strained too
much.
4) Check the ground before mowing to make sure that there are no stones, sticks or foreign bodies.
5) Keep the engine at max. rpm during mowing and adjust the speed (fig. 1B, n. 1 ) according to the
height of the grass.
6) Keep the engine grid (fig. 4) and the cooling fins of both the front and rear hydrostatic axles
thoroughly clean.
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
CAUTION!
- Disconnect the plug before performing any cleaning, maintenance or repair operation.
Always wear suitable clothing and working gloves.
- When the machine or part of it is lifted to carry out maintenance operations, always
remember to use suitable fixing tools such as holders and safety locks.
- When carrying out maintenance operations and/or when the machine is tilted without safety
locks or supports, never leave it unguarded in places where inexperienced people and
children could have easy access to it.
- rotect the environment: carefully dispose of used oils, petrol and any other pollutant
product!
- Effective maintenance and correct lubrication help to keep the machine fully efficient.
ENGINE
For the lubrication intervals, follow the instructions provided in the engine manual. However it is
necessary to replace both the engine oil and the filter after the first 20 working hours and
subsequently every 100 working hours. Use SAE 3 oil. To replace the engine oil filter (fig. 8 722
engine – fig. 9 827 engine) it is necessary to remove the rear right wheel and the baffle ore remove
the fuel tank from above.
FRONT AND REAR HYDROSTATIC AXLE
The front and rear hydrostatic axles are connected through steel pipes (fig. 1 ) to let the oil flow into
the system and cool. The oil tank is located under the front hood (fig. 3). Check the engine oil every
1 working hours ( to be seen externally on the half of the tank - fig. 11) and add synthetic engine oil
5W5 if necessary. Replace the oil after the first 5 working hours then every 2 working hours
(quantity 5 litres). To drain the oil remove the lower side plugs on the front axle (fig. 12). In addition
remove the filter on the rear axle (fig. 13) and both screws under the axle (fig. 14) to completely drain
the oil from the differential and hydrostatic axle.
After having tightened the two screws under the rear hydrostatic axle, cleaned or replaced the filter
and tightened the two lower screws on the front hydrostatic axle, put the oil in the tank (fig. 3). To fill
the oil in, remove the two plugs on the front hydrostatic axle (fig. 15) and the yellow plug under the
right platform (fig. 16). In addition loosen the purge valve on the rear hydrostatic axle. The oil will
come out firstly form the two side plugs, then from the yellow plug and eventually from the purge
valve. Therefore when the oil is draining, tighten first of all the two side plugs (fig. 15), then the yellow
plug (fig. 16) on the front hydrostatic axle and then purge valve located on the rear axle (fig. 17).
Check that at least half of the tank is full, start the engine and move the forward lever (fig. 1B, n. 12)
repeatedly forward and backwards for about 5 minutes. During this operation put the rear lever 3-4
times (fig. 13) into neutral position while moving the forward lever. Switch the engine off. Loosen
again the purge valve located on the rear hydrostatic axle to let the oil drain and purge the hydraulic
system (fig. 17). Fill the tank again with fresh oil until a half is full (fig. 11).
AIR FILTER
Check the air filter every 4 hours or more frequently if working in a very dusty environment (fig. 5).
Check the engine cooling grid (fig. 4). Always keep the engine inner and outer grids clean not to
prevent the passage of the air. Keep the engine casing and the hydrostatic axle clean. Loosening the
screw (fig. 5, ref. A) on both sides, the operator has access to the engine cylinder fins to carry out
regular cleaning (for 1 AWD 27 only).

CHECKING BLADES AND CUTTING DECK
A blunt blade tears the grass, leaving it unattractive. The cutting edges of both blades must always be
well-sharpened. To remove a blade, take hold of it firmly, wearing working gloves, and unscrew the
central screw. IMPORTANT: the screw has a right-hand thread. Sharpen both cutting edges using a
medium-grain grinding wheel and check that the blade is balanced by placing it on a round bar
inserted in the central hole. Fit the two cutting blades following the diagram (fig. 6).
IM ORTANT: Tighten the fixing screw firmly. Always replace damaged or crooked blades, never
attempt to repair them! USE GENUINE BLADES ONLY! If they are worn they can be turned round
since they have two cutting edges.
CUTTING DECK
Levelness of the cutting deck is essential in order to obtain an evenly mown lawn. Park the mower on
a flat surface and check first that the tyre pressure is correct, then use the left and right adjusting
screws (fig. 18) and those of the front cutting deck arms (fig. 19) to set the cutting deck at 21 mm
from the ground (fig. 22 – fig. 23) on both sides, with the operator on board and the cutting deck at the
highest cutting position. In case of need contact the nearest authorised service centre. For the
Climber 1 AWD 27 a baffle (fig. 2 ) is delivered standard, which can be fixed under the cutting deck
on the right side. It is used to disperse cut grass evenly and it has to be used with 12/15 cm grass
only.
BLADE – ENGINE BELT
The engine – blade belt is self-adjusting and it is a special B-type belt. It is sufficient to check the
spring tension (fig. 25). If the belt twists or comes out of its position, carry out the following controls
setting the cutting deck at the highest cutting position:
1) check that the distance between the front boarder of the cutting deck and the ground is 21
mm (fig. 22).
2) check that the distance between the rear boarder of the cutting deck and the ground is 21
mm (fig. 23).
3) Use the adjusting screws (fig. 18 – fig. 19).
4) IM ORTANT: beside the cutting deck pulley there is a belt guide equipped with bearings (fig.
24) that prevent the belt from going out of its position should this oscillate. This belt guide must not
continuously touch the belt. The belt guide is fixed and the cutting deck has to be set perfectly parallel
to the ground or slightly inclined to the front.
5) To replace the belt unhook the spring of the belt tightener (fig. 25) and shift the belt guide (fig.
24) to let the belt come out from the deck pulley.
6) Grease the belt tightener (fig. 21).
ENGINE BELT – HYDROSTATIC AXLE
This belt is self-adjusting through a spring. To replace the belt detach the spring of the cutting deck
belt tightener (fig. 25) and the clutch belt. In addition remove the rear right wheel and its bumper.
Detach the anti-vibration spring connected with the clutch (fig. 26). Then detach the belt tightener
spring of the hydrostatic transmission (fig. 27). The belt can then be removed. USE GENUINE BELTS
ONLY.
BLADE ROTATION
To engage and disengage the blade push the button on the dashboard (fig. 1, n. 6). When rotation is
engaged the engine must be running at medium r.p.m. (see throttle label) and the machine must be
placed outside to area to be cut. 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 blade must stop within 5 seconds with the engine at max. r.p.m. Should this not
be the case, remove the spacer mounted under the brake of the blade brake (fig. 28). IM ORTANT:
This operation must be carried out by an authorized service center. Do not use the machine if
the blade does not stop within 5 seconds after disengagement with the engine at max. r.p.m.

TRACTION RELEASE LEVER
The traction release device is located at the back of hydrostatic axle (fig. 13). If the machine breaks
down, use the lever under the rear bumper to allow the machine to be towed or moved by hand.
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK ADJUSTMENT
The differential lock must engage when the pedal is half its way (fig. 1, n. 5). To adjust the differential
lock engagement, use the adjusting screw under the platform (fig. 29, ref. A).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The electrical system is protected by a 2 A fuse which cuts out the entire electrical system if blown.
After finding and repairing the fault, replace the fuse with another of the same rating. Never
replace the fuse with one of a different rating. The electrical system fuses are located behind the
driver's seat (fig. 3 , ref. A). If problems persist after all procedures described above have been
carried out, contact the nearest authorized service centre. Never attempt to make difficult repairs
unless you have the necessary equipment and technical expertise. In the Climber 1 AWD 27 next to
the electrical system main fuse there is another 1 A fuse, always located behind the operator's seat,
which protects the 12V cigar lighter plug (fig. 1B, n. 11). The micro-switch on the forward lever (fig.
31) detects if the machine is in neutral position.
ELECTRIC CONTROL UNIT
An electric control unit is located under the front frame (fig. 3) that controls all the electrical functions
of the machine such as PTO, micro-switches and start-up consent.
IM ORTANT!
– Take care not to reverse the battery polarity.
– Never operate the mower without the battery (fig. 3 ), since it is equipped with a charge regulator.
– Take care not to cause short-circuits that could damage both the electric control unit and the
charge regulator.
16

Climber 10/ Translation of the original instructions
THE MACHINE DOES NOT REMAIN IN NEUTRAL OSITION
Set the forward lever into neutral position and adjust the rod located under the seat on the right side,
by loosening or fastening it until both wheels stop (fig. 32). This procedure must be carried out with
wheels lifted from the ground. To adjust the speed in both forward and reverse gears use the screws
(fig. 31).
END OF WORK
After mowing, disengage the blades and drive back with the cutting deck in the highest position. To
stop, set the forward lever into STOP position, set the throttle lever at minimum rpm, switch off the
engine by turning the key to STOP position (fig. 1, n. 1), set the cutting deck at the lowest position and
engage the parking brake.
CLEANING
Clean the outside of the mower after each use. Use compressed air. Do not wash neither the engine
nor the electric components of the machine with a high-pressure water jet machine.
STORAGE AND ROLONGED ERIODS OF DISUSE
Store the mower in a dry place, away from atmospheric agents, and preferably cover with a sheet. If
the mower is not going to be used for a long period (over 1 month), disconnect the red battery cable
and follow the instructions described in the engine manual. Also lubricate all of the articulated joints.
Regularly check that the battery voltage does not drop below 12 volts. If it does, recharge the battery.
If the machine is to be out of use for more than 3 days, drain the fuel from the engine to prevent
sticky deposits from forming in the fuel intake system or in vital parts of carburettor. To protect the
engine we recommend that you pour the preservative additive for unleaded petrol into the tank. Run
the engine a while to let the additive circulate through the carburettor. Important: If petrol is used
which contains alcohol too, drain the fuel tank and run the engine until there is no fuel left.
TRANS ORTING THE MACHINE
Should the machine be transported on lorries or trailers, firmly secure it using ropes. Check the wight
of the machine on the label and use appropriate lifting means.
