6.1.5 Positioning the anti-scalping wheels
The anti-scalping wheels are used to reduce
the risk of tearing up sections of lawn, which
can occur when the edge of the cutting device
assembly drags over irregular ground.
Position the wheels as indicated (par. 7.4).
6.2 SAFETY CHECKS
Run the following safety checks and
check that the results correspond to
those outlined on the tables.
Always carry out the safety
checks before use.

6.2.2 Control of safety devices
The safety devices work in two ways:
A. they prevent the engine from starting if all
the safety requirements have not been met;
B. by stopping the engine if even just one
of the safety requirements is lacking.
Action Result
1. gear in “neutral”;
2. cutting device
disengaged;
3. operator seated.
The engine starts
the operator leaves his seat The engine stops
Action Result
the grass catcher is lifted
or the rear discharge
guard removed without
disengaging the cutting
device (for rear collection
models only)
The engine stops
the parking brake is engaged
without disengaging
the cutting device
The engine stops
the speed change is
activated or the drive
pedal with the parking
brake engaged
The engine stops
the reverse gear is
engaged with the cutting
device engaged, without
pressing the consent
button (par. 5.10)
The engine stops
Drive the machine forwards
and backwards, shift to
neutral /release the drive
pedal (par. 5.2; par. 5.3)
The machine slows
down and stops
Press the brake
pedal (par. 5.1)
The machine stops
Test driving No abnormal
vibrations.
No abnormal sound
If any of the results fail to match the
indications provided in the tables, do not
use the machine! Contact a service centre to
have it checked and repaired if necessary.
IMPORTANT Always bear in mind that
the safety devices prevent the engine from
starting if safety requirements have not
been met. In these cases, once the start
consent has been reinstated, the ignition
key (g. 15.A) must rst be turned back to
O before the engine can be restarted.
6.3 USING ON SLOPES
Comply with the limits indicated in the
"Technical Data" Tables as in "g. 24"
regardless of the mowing direction.
Remember there is no such thing as a "safe”
slope. Driving on grass slopes requires
particular care. To prevent overturning
or loss of control over the machine:
• Never mow across the face of the slope.
Lawns on a slope have to be mowed moving
up and down and never across them. When
changing direction, take great care that
the wheels facing the slope do not hit any
obstacles (such as stones, branches, roots,
