OPERATION
CAUTION
Check the tightening of bolts, refering to the tightening torque charts
The safety is one of our main worry when designing and manufacturing this machine. Therefore,
negligence in the use of the machine should reduce our efforts to nothing. The prevention strictly
depends on the care and on the skill of the user when applying and maintaining the machine.The
best safety method remains a careful and skilled user ; we wish you to be this kind of user.
The user of this machine is responsible for its safe use. He must be a skilled user specially trained for
the use of this machine. Read the safety instructions. This machine has been designed to mow grass.
It is not designed for any other operation. It is no designed to transport other tools or materials that
might damage it and cause injuries to the user. It must not be used to carry persons.
DANGER
Never use the machine without having priorly carried out all the maintenance operations as described
in the daily maintenance chapter.
CAUTION
Never let children or unskilled persons use the machine. Check that nobody or no object stands near
the machine when at work. They could be hit by the moving parts.Nobody must stand on the machine
except the driver. Never put your hands under moving parts.
STARTING OF THE ENGINE
Turn the fuel cock "ON".
Check than cutting blade and travel lever are disengaged.
Pull choke lever if engine is cold or push throttle lever half of his stroke if the engine is hot.
Pull the starter rope. When the engine has started, push back the choke lever. Select a speed
ratio, then, move to the mowing path.
MOWING
Start the engine
Adjust the height of cut control bar as needed.
WARNING
Do not forget that it is better to mow a few grass often than an important quantity in one
operation. Short grass do not resist to dry weather, and athe blade can hit the grown with
damage and trhown objects. Working in slopes is very dangerous. Never work in slopes more
than 15°.
Push slowly cutting blade control lever in engage position and the travel lever, increase engine
speed to the maximum, then go forward in the grass to mow.
The best cutting speed depends of quantity and the density of the grass. Usually it is asked to
mow between 2,5 and 6 Km/H. A tall grass will be cut slowly and a low grass will be cut faster.

then by screwing the idler adjustment nut (Figure 10,B) until
the distance is correct. Repeat the procedure if it is incorrect.
BLADE WIRE ADJUSTMENT
Play of the blade wire:
This wire must set the blade lever between 3-8 mm (Figure
11).If this is not the case, adjust the tension of the blade wire
by first losing the tension adjustment nut (A, Figure 10), and
then by adjusting the tension adjustment nut (B, Figure 10)
until the play is correct. Tighten the tension adjustment nut to
secure it then check if the setting is correct. Repeat the pro-
cedure if it is incorrect.
CHANGE WIRE:
If the machine does not stop when the driving lever is released,
unscrew the tension adjusting nut of the change wire (B, Figure
12). Adjust the tension adjustment nut of the change wire if
necessary. Tighten the adjustment nut to secure it then check if the machine is operating normally.
Repeat the procedure if the machine does not function normally.
