1. SAFETY REGULATIONS

1.1 GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS

Read carefully before using the machine.

A) 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 lawnmower. Local regulations can 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 acci-

dents 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 emphasise:

– the need for care and concentration when working with ride-on

machines;

– 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:

– insufficient wheel grip;

– being driven too fast;

– inadequate braking;

– the type of machine is unsuitable for its task;

– lack of awareness of the effect of ground conditions, especial-

ly slopes;

– incorrect hitching and load distribution.

B) PREPARATION

1) While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long

trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing

open sandals.

2) Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used

and remove all objects which can be thrown by the machine.

3) DANGER! Petrol is highly flammable:

– store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose;

– refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling;

– 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;

– 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 the petrol vapours have dissipated;

– replace all fuel tank 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-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can

cause other blades to rotate.

C) OPERATION

1) Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dan gerous

carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

2) Mow only in daylight or 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° (17%).

5) Remember there is no such thing as a “safe” slope. Travel on

grass slopes requires particular care. To guard against overturning:

– do not stop or start suddenly when going up or downhill;

– engage the clutch slowly and always keep the machine in gear,

WARNING!

especially when travelling downhill;

– machine speeds should be kept low on slopes and during tight

turns;

– stay alert for humps and hollows and other hidden hazards;

– never mow across the face of the slope.

6) Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment:

– use only approved drawbar hitch points;

– limit loads to those you can safely control;

– do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing;

7) Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces other than

grass.

8) Never operate the machine with defective guards, or with-

out safety protective devices in place.

9) Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed

the engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed can increase

the hazard of personal injury.

10) Before leaving the operatorʼs position:

– disengage the power take-off and lower the attachments;

– change into neutral and set the parking brake;

– stop the engine and remove the key.

11) Disengage drive to attachments, stop the engine and re mo -

ve the ignition key:

– before clearing blockages or unclogging chutes;

– before cleaning, checking or working on the machine;

– after striking a foreign object. Inspect the machine for damage

and make repairs before restarting and operating the equipment;

– If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately).

12) Disengage drive to blades when transporting or not in use.

13) Stop the engine and disengage drive to the attachment:

– before refuelling;

– before removing the grass catcher.

14) Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out and, if the en-

gine is provided with a shut-off valve, turn the fuel off at the conclu-

sion of mowing.

15) The usage of accessories different from those recommended by

Honda may cause damage to the machine that is not covered by the

warranty.

D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is

in safe working condition.

2) Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside a build-

ing where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.

3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

4) To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer, battery com-

partment and petrol storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive

grease.

5) Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration.

6) Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

7) If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.

8) On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can

cause other blades to rotate.

9) When the machine is to be stored or left unattended, lower the

cutting deck.

2.2 IDENTIFICATION OF MAIN COMPONENTS

Various main components can be seen on the machine, and these

have the following functions:

1. Cutting deck: this is the guard enclosing the rotating blades.

2. Blades: these are what cut the grass. The wings at the ends

help convey the cut grass towards the collector channel.

3. Collector channel: this is the part connecting the cutting deck

to the grass-catcher.

4. Grass-catcher: as well as collecting the grass cuttings, this is

also a safety element in that it stops any objects drawn up by

the blades from being thrown outside of the machine.

5. Stone-guard or deflector (available as optional part): this

can be fitted in place of the grass-catcher and prevents objects

drawn up by the blades from being thrown outside of the ma-

chine.

6. Engine: this moves the blades and drives the wheels.

7. Battery: provides the energy for starting the engine. Its spe ci -

fi cations and regulations for use are described in a specific man-

ual.

8. Driver seat: this is where the machine operator sits. It has a

sensor for detecting the presence of the operator which is a sa -

fety device.

9. Decals for regulations and safety: give reminders on the

main provisions for working safely, each of which is explained

in chapter 1.

10. Inspection hatch: for access to make several adjustments.

3. UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

For storage and transport reasons, some components of the

machine are not directly installed in the factory, but have to be

5. HOW TO USE

5.1 SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

The machine must only be used for the pur-

pose for which it was designed (cutting and collection of

grass).

Using the machine in any other way is considered "impro per

use" which will invalidate the warranty, relieve the manufac-

turer from all liabilities, and the user will consequently be

liable for all and any damage or injury to himself or others.

Examples of improper use may include, but are not limited to:

– transport people, children or animals on the machine or on

a trailer;

– tow or push loads without the use of the specified acces-

sory for towing;

– use of the machine for moving over unstable, slippery,

icy, stony, rough, marshy ground and puddles that do not

allow for evaluation of the consistency of the ground;

– use of the machine for leaf or debris collection;

– use of the blades on surfaces other than grass.

Do not tamper with or remove the safety d e-

vices fitted to the machine. REMEMBER THAT THE USER IS

ALWAYS RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE AND INJURIES TO

OTHERS.

Before using the machine:

– read the general safety regulations ( 1.1), paying parti -

cular attention to driving and cutting on slopes;

– carefully read the instructions for use, become familiar

with the controls and on how to quickly stop the blades and

engine.

– never put your hands or feet next to or beneath the rotat-

ing parts and always keep away from the discharge open-

ing.

Do not use the machine when in a precarious state of health

or under the effect of medicines or other substances that can

reduce your reflex actions and your ability to concentrate.

It is the user's responsibility to assess the potential risk of the

area where work is to be carried out, as well as to take all the

necessary steps to ensure his own safety and that of o thers,

particularly on slopes or rough, slippery and unstable ground.

Do not leave the machine stopped in high grass with the en-

gine running in order to avoid the risk of starting a fire.

This machine must not be used on slopes

greater than 10° (17%) ( 5.5).

All the references relating to the positions of

controls are those described in chapter 4.

5.2 WHY THE SAFETY DEVICES CUT IN

The safety devices work in two ways:

– they prevent the engine from starting if all the safety requirements

have not been met;

– they stop the engine if even just one of the safety requirements

is lacking.

To start the engine, in all cases it is necessary that:

– the transmission is in “neutral”;

– the blades are not engaged;

– the operator is seated or the parking brake is engaged.

4.31 BRAKE PEDAL

This pedal works the brake on the rear wheels.

4.32 FORWARD GEAR PEDAL

This pedal engages drive in the rear wheels and modulates the

machine's speed.

– Increasing pressure on the pedal progressively increases the

speed of the machine.

– The pedal automatically goes into neutral «N» when released.

– The neutral condition «N» is shown by the lighting of an indi-

cator light (4.10.g).

4.33 REVERSE PEDAL

This pedal engages reverse drive in the wheels and modulates

the machineʼs speed.

– Increasing pressure on the pedal progressively increases the

speed of the machine.

– The pedal automatically goes into neutral «N» when released.

– The neutral condition «N» is shown by the lighting of an indi-

cator light (4.10.g).

Reverse must be engaged only when the

machine is stopped.

If one of the drive

pedals is used

when the parking

brake (4.5) is en-

gaged, the engi -

ne stops.

4.34 LEVER TO RELEASE THE HYDROSTATIC

TRANSMISSION

This lever has two positions as shown on the label:

«A» = Transmission engaged: for all usage conditions,

when moving and during cutting;

«B» = Transmission released: considerably reduces

the effort required for moving the machine by

hand, with the engine turned off.

The engine stops when:

– the operator leaves his seat when the blades are engaged;

– the operator leaves his seat when the transmission is not in

“neutral”;

– the operator leaves his seat with the transmission in “neutral” but

without engaging the parking brake;

– the grass-catcher is lifted or the stone-guard is removed when the

blades are engaged;

– the reverse gear is engaged with the blades engaged. This can

be avoided by keeping the push-button 4.7 pressed.

The table below shows various operating conditions, highlighting

why the safety device shuts down the engine.

5.3 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS BEFORE STARTING WORK

Before starting to work it is necessary to carry out several checks and

operations to ensure that the work gives the best results and is done

in maximum safety.

5.3.1 Seat adjustment

To adjust the seat position, the

four fixing screws (1) must be

loosened. Move the seat along

the support slots.

When you find the desired po-

sition, tighten the four screws

(1).

The sliding seat can be ad-

justed onto six different posi-

tions.

The position is changed by

pulling up the handle (1) and

sliding the seat until it is locked

into the desired position.

HF2•••◊M• HF2•••◊T•

HF2•••◊B•

5.3.2 Tyre pressure

Unscrew the hubcaps and connect

the valve caps to a compres sed air

line with a gauge.

Proper tyre pressure levels arevi-

tal for perfect alignment of the cut-

ting deck and thus mows evenly.

The pressures are:

FRONT 1.5 bar (13 x 5.00-6)

1.0 bar (15 x 5.00-6)

REAR 1.2 bar

5.3.3 Filling with oil and fuel

Use oil SAE

10W30 and Petrol Unleaded

Euro 95.

Running the

en gine with an insufficient a -

mount of oil can damage it very

seriously. The use of a non-de-

tergent or two-stroke engine oil

can reduce the life of the en-

gine.

On a flat surface and with the en-

gine off, remove the cap with the

dipstick and dry it. Push it fully in

without screwing it on, then take it

out and check the oil level. If the

level is close to or below the lower

limit (MIN) of the dipstick, top up

with the recommended oil until the

upper limit (MAX) is reached.

Screw the dipstick cap back on.

Refuel using a funnel. Avoid overfilling; filler neck has a max level

indication.

The tank's capacity is 5.4 litres.

In the event of spilling on the body, quickly re-

move perol traces.

Refuelling should be carried out in an open or

well ventilated area with engine stopped. Always remember

that petrol fumes are inflammable. DO NOT TAKE A NAKED

FLAME TO THE TANKʼS OPENING IN ORDER TO SEE THE

TANKʼS CONTENTS AND DO NOT SMOKE WHEN REFU-

ELLING.

• Fuel containing alcohol

If you intend to use fuel with alcohol, ensure that

its octane number is at least as high as that recommended by

Honda (86). There are two types of fuel/alcohol mixtures: one con-

tains ethanol and the other methanol.

Do not use mixtures containing more than 10% ethanol, or fuel

containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol), which do not con-

tain cosolvents, or corrosion inhibitors for methanol.

In the case of a mixture containing methanol with addition of co-

solvents and corrosion inhibitors, limit the proportion to 5% of

methanol.

The guarantee does not cover damage caused to the fuel system

or engine performance problems resulting from the use of fuel con-

taining alcohol. Honda does not give its approval to the use of fu-

els containing methyl alcohol since their suitability is not yet

proven.

5.3.4 Checking the braking system

Make sure that the machineʼs braking capacity is adequate for the

conditions of usage. Avoid starting the machine if you have doubts

on the brake efficiency.

If necessary, adjust the brake ( 6.3.4). If you still have doubts

about its efficiency, contact your Dealer.

5.3.5 Fitting the protection devices at the exit

(grass-catcher or stone-guard)

Never use the machine without having fitted

the protection devices at the exit!

The protection devices must be fitted with the tipping levers low-

er ed.

Attach the grass-catcher inserting the up-

per tube of the frame into the slots of the

2 brackets (1).

Make sure that the lower tube of the

opening of the grass-catcher hooks onto

the pawl (2).

If the hook is too stiff or too loose, adjust

the return spring (

6.3.6).

If you would like to mow without using the

grass-catcher, an optional stone-guard

kit ( 9.2) is available on request. This

has to be attached to the rear plate as in-

dicated in the relevant instructions.

5.3.6 Checking the effectiveness of the safety devices

Check that the safety systems are working properly by simulating the

various situations of usage listed ( 5.2) and making sure that the

indicated result is achieved for each situation.

5.3.7 Checking the blades

Check that the blades are sharpened properly and firmly fixed to their

hubs.

– A badly sharpened blade pulls at the grass and causes the lawn

to turn yellow.

– A loose blade causes unusual vibrations and can be dangerous.

Wear heavy gloves when handling the

blades.

Disengage drive to attachments, stop the en-

gine and remove the ignition key before cleaning, checking or

working on the machine.

5.4 USING THE MACHINE

5.4.1 Starting

All starting operations have to be effected in

an open or well-ventilated area! ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT

THE ENGINEʼS EXHAUST FUMES ARE TOXIC!

To start the engine:

– engage the parking brake ( 4.5), on sloping ground;

– put the transmission into neutral («N») ( 4.22 or 4.32/33);

– disengage the blades ( 4.8);

– if started cold, use the choke ( 4.2);

– position the accelerator lever ( 4.3) between «SLOW» and

«FAST»;

– put in the key ( 4.4), and turn to «ON» to make electrical con-

tact, then turn to «START» to start the engine;

– release the key once the engine has started.

When the engine has started, put the accelerator in the «SLOW» po-

sition and close the choke (if fitted).

The choke must be closed as soon as the engine

is running smoothly. Using it when the engine is already warm can

foul the spark plug and cause the engine to run erratically.

Should you have difficulties in starting do not per-

sist with using the starter motor as this can run down the battery

or flood the engine. Turn the key to the «OFF» position, wait for

a few seconds and then repeat the operation. Should the mal-

function persist, refer to chapter «7» of this manual.

Always bear in mind that the safety devices pre-

vent the engine starting when:

– the blades are engaged;

– the transmission is not in neutral («N»).

– the operator is absent with the parking brake disengaged.

In these cases, once the situation has been corrected, the key

must first be turned back to «OFF» before the engine can be

restarted.

5.4.2 Forward drive and moving without mowing

This machine has not been approved for use

on public roads. It has to be used (as indicated by the High-

way Code) in private areas closed to traffic.

When moving the machine, the blades must be

disengaged and the cutting deck put at its highest position (posi-

tion «7»).

Put the accelerator control between the «SLOW» and «FAST»

positions, and the gear change lever in the 1st speed position (

4.22).

Keep the pedal pressed down and disengage the parking brake.

Slowly release the pedal which will turn from «brake» to «clutch»,

thus operating the rear wheels ( 4.21).

The pedal has to be released gradually as

a sudden engagement may cause tipping up and loss of

control of the vehicle.

12EN

To change the position, unscrew end

remove the pin (1) then reposition

the wheel (2) in the upper or lower

hole of the wale shown on the dia-

gram.

This work is to

be done to all four wheels,

WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND

THE BLADES DISENGAGED.

To start cutting:

– put the accelerator into the «FAST» position;

– bring the cutting deck to the highest position;

– engage the blades ( 4.9);

– start moving forwards onto the grass area very gradually and with

particular caution, as previously described;

– adjust the forward speed and the cutting height ( 4.6) accord-

ing to the lawn condition (height, density and dampness of the

grass). On flat ground, these general conditions can be followed:

High and dense grass - wet lawn 2,5 km/h

Average condition grass 4 ... 6 km/h

Low grass - dry lawn over 6 km/h

The speed is controlled in a gradual and progressive way by the

pressure on the drive pedal.

When cutting on sloping ground, the forward

speed must be reduced to ensure safe conditions ( 1.2 -

5.5).

In any case, the speed should always be lowered if you note a re-

duction in engine speed, since a forward speed that is too fast

compared to the amount of grass being cut will never mow the grass

well.

Disengage the blades and put the cutting deck in the highest posi-

tion whenever you need to get past an obstacle.

5.4.6 Emptying the grass-catcher

Do not let the grass-catcher become too full as this may block the

collector channel. When the grass-catcher is full there is an inter-

mittent audible warning.

At this point:

– lower the engine speed;

– go into neutral (N) ( 4.22 or

4.32/33) and stop forward movement;

– engage the parking brake on slopes;

– disengage the blades ( 4.8) and

the audible signal will stop;

Emptying the

grass-catcher can only be done

with the blades disengaged, other-

wise the engine stops.

– pull out the lever (1) ( 4.9.1) and

tip up the grass-catcher to empty

it;

– close up the grass-catcher so that

it hooks onto the pawl stop (2) and

put the lever (1) back into place.

Gradually reach the desired operating speed using the acceler-

ator and gear lever. To change the gear speed the clutch must be

used pushing the pedal down half way ( 4.21).

Put the accelerator lever in a midway position between «SLOW»

and «FAST».

Disengage the parking brake and release the brake pedal

( 4.31).

Press the drive pedal forward ( 4.32) and go to the required

speed by gradually increasing pressure on the pedal and press-

ing the accelerator appropriately.

Drive must be engaged in the way already

described ( 4.32) to prevent sudden engagement from

causing tipping up and loss of control of the vehicle, par-

ticularly on slopes.

5.4.3 Braking

First, reduce the machineʼs speed by reducing the engineʼs r.p.m.

and then push the brake pedal ( 4.21 or 4.31) to further reduce

the speed until the machine stops.

The machine already slows down consider-

ably by just releasing the drive pedal in forward or reverse.

5.4.4 Reverse

Reverse must be engaged ONLY when the machine is stopped.

Push down the pedal until the machine stops and then insert re-

verse by moving the lever sideways and putting it into position

«R» ( 4.22). Gradually release the pedal to engage the clutch

and then begin moving in reverse.

When the machine is stopped, start the reverse movement by

pressing the drive pedal in the «R» direction ( 4.33).

5.4.5 Grass-cutting

When you have reached the area to be mowed, make sure that the

grass-catcher or stone-guard is positioned correctly.

The cutting deck wheels (1) are included so that a space is always

kept between the ground and the edge of the cutting deck to pre-

vent the lawn damage if the ground is uneven.

Each cutting deck wheel can be fitted at two different heights: it

serves to maintain space in the lowest position, whereas it does

not function when in the highest position.

The dumping switch operates only with the

bla des disengaged.

– with the operator seated, keep the button (3) ( 4.9.2)

pressed until the grass-catcher is completely tipped over;

– once emptied, keep the button (4) ( 4.9.3) pressed until the

grass-catcher has completely gone down while checking that

the pawl (2) stays hooked on.

At times the audible warning may be heard at the

moment of engaging the blade even when the grass-catcher has

been emptied.This is due to

grass-cuttings left on the sensor

of the micro-switch (1). To stop

the signal, disengage the blades

and then immediately engage

them again. If the warning sound

continues, stop the engine, take

off the grass-catcher and remove

any accumulated grass-cuttings

from the sensor (1).

5.4.7 Unblocking the collector channel

Cutting very tall or wet grass, particularly at too high speed, can

cause the collector channel to become blocked. Should this happen,

it will be necessary to:

– stop forward movement immediately, disengage the blades, stop

the engine and remove the key;

– take off the grass-catcher or stone-guard;

– remove the accumulated cuttings, reaching them from the outlet

of the collector channel.

This job must only be performed with the en-

gine turned off.

5.4.8 “Mulching” function (optional)

The “Mulching” cap recycles grass

inside the cutting deck, chopping it

into fine strands and strewing them

evenly on the lawn.

This accessory must be mounted

as shown in the relative instruc-

tions.

5.4.9 End of mowing

When you have finished mowing, disengage the blades, lower the

engine speed and return with the cutting deck in the highest posi-

tion.

5.4.10 End of work

Stop the machine, put the accelerator lever in the «SLOW» position

and turn off the engine by putting the key into the «OFF» position.

This operation makes the fuel valve automatically close.

Always take out the ignition key if leaving the

machine unattended!

5.4.11 Cleaning and storage

Put the machine away in a dry place protected from weather and, if

possible, cover with a cloth. After each mowing, clean the outside of

the machine, empty the grass-catcher and shake it to remove resid-

ual grass and earth.

Look for and eliminate all the grass that has accumulated inside the

engine compartment and above the cutting deck, to keep the ma-

chine at an optimal level of efficiency.

Always empty the grass-catcher and do not

leave containers full of cut grass inside a room.

Clean the plastic parts of the body with a damp sponge using wa-

ter and detergent, taking care not to pu water on the engine, the elec-

trical parts or the electronic card located under the dashboard.

Never use hose-nozzles or harsh detergents for

cleaning the body and engine!

For washing the inside of the cutting deck and the collector channel

the machine must be on firm ground with:

– the grass-catcher

or stone-guard fitted;

– the operator seated;

– the engine running;

– the transmission in neutral;

– the parking brake engaged;

– the blades engaged.

Connect a water hose to the pipe fittings (1) alternating, and run wa-

ter through for a few minutes each, with the blades turning.

When washing, the cutting deck should be fully lowered.

Then take off the grass-catcher, empty and rinse it, and then put it

in a position where it can dry quickly.

To avoid impairing the efficient working of the

electromagnetic clutch:

– prevent the friction from coming into contact with oil;

– do not direct jets of high-pressure water directly onto the clutch

unit;

– do not clean the clutch with petrol.

5.4.12 Storage and inactivity for long periods

If the machine is likely to be unused for a long period (more than 1

month), disconnect the ground (black) cable from the battery. Lu-

bricate all joints as directed ( 6.2.1).

Carefully remove any dry grass cuttings

which may have collected around the engine or silencer to

prevent their catching fire the next time the machine is used!

Empty the fuel tank by disconnecting the tube situated at the inlet

of the fuel filter (1).

Reconnect the fuel tube.

Loosen the carburetor drain screw (2), and drain the fuel into an ap-

proved gasoline container. Tighten the carburetor drain screw.

WARNING!

highest wheels do not hit obstacles (such as stones, branches,

roots, etc.) that may cause the machine to slide sideways, tip over

or otherwise cause loss of control.

REDUCE SPEED BEFORE ANY CHANGE OF

DIRECTION ON SLOPES, and always engage the parking

brake before leaving the machine stopped and unattended.

Take care when beginning forward move-

ment on sloping ground to prevent the risk of tipping up.

Reduce the forward speed before going on a slope, particu-

larly downhill.

Never use reverse to reduce speed going

downhill. control of the machine may be lost, particularly on

slippery surfaces.

Never ride the machine on slopes in neu-

tral gear or with the clutch out! Always engage a low gear

before leaving the machine stopped and unattended.

Go down slopes without touching the pedal ( 4.32/33) to take

advantage of the braking effect of the hydrostatic drive when the

transmission is not engaged.

5.6 TRANSPORTING

If the machine must be transported on a lorry

or trailer car, use access ramps having proper strength,

width and length. Load the machine with the engine turned

off, without driver and only pushed by a proper number of

people. Lower the cutting deck, engage the parking brake and

properly secure the machine to the means of transportation

with cables or chains during transportation.

5.7 ADVICE ON HOW TO OBTAIN A GOOD CUT

1. To keep a lawn green and soft with a good appearance, it

should be cut regularly and without damaging the grass.

2. It is always better to cut the grass when dry.

3. The blades must be in good condition and well sharpened so

that the grass is cut straight without any ragged edge that leads

to yellowing at the ends.

4. The engine must run at full speed, both to ensure a sharp cut

of the grass and to get the necessary thrust to push the cuttings

through the collector channel.

5. The frequency of mowing should be in relation to the rate of

growth of the grass, which should not be left to grow too much

between one cut and the next.

6. During hot and dry periods, the grass should be cut a little higher

to prevent the gro und

from drying out.

7. If the grass is very tall,

it should be cut twice in

a twenty-four hour pe-

riod. The first time with

the blades at maximum

height, possibly reduc-

ing the cutting width,

and the second cut at

the desired height.

Remove the two spark plugs and pour about a tablespoon of clean

engine oil into the cylinders. In order to distribuite the oil in the cylin-

ders evenly, crank the engine during 1 or 2 seconds using the

starter motor, turning the starter key; then reinstall the spark plugs

( 6.4.5).

Petrol is highly flammable. Store the fuel in

special containers. Always put the tank and fuel container

caps back on and tighten well.

The battery must be kept in a cool and dry place.

Before a long storage period (more than 1 month), always charge

the battery, only with the specific charger supplied with your ma-

chine, and then recharge before using again ( 6.2.3).

The next time the machine is used, check that there are no fuel leaks

from the tubes or carburettor.

5.4.13 Card protection device

The electronic card has a self-resetting protector which breaks the

circuit if there is a fault in the electrical system. It results in the stop-

ping of the engine and an audible signal which can only be stopped

by removing the key.

The circuit automatically resets after a few seconds but the cause

of the fault should be ascertained and dealt with to avoid re-activating

the protection device.

To avoid activating the protection device:

– do not reverse the leads on the battery terminals;

– do not use the machine without its battery or damage may be

caused to the charging regulator;

– be careful not to cause short-circuits.

5.5 USING ON SLOPING GROUND

8. The appearance of the lawn will improve if you alternate the cut-

ting in both directions.

9. If the collector system tends to get blocked with grass, you

should reduce the forward speed since this may be too high for

the condition of the grass. If the problem persists, the probable

causes are either badly sharpened blades or deformed wings.

10. Be very careful when mowing near bushes or low kerbs which

could distort the horizontal position and damage the edge of the

cutting deck as well as the blades.

b) Dismantling, sharpening and balancing blades

All operations on the blades (dismantling,

sharpening, balancing, remounting and/or replacing) require

a certain familiarity and special tools. For safety reasons, go

to a specialized centre if you do not have the right tools or ex-

perience.

Wear heavy gloves when handling the bla -

des.

To remove a blade, hold it firmly and undo the central bolt (1a - 1b)

(use 15 mm wrench) in the direction indicated by the arrow for

each blade, noting that one of the fixing bolts has a right-hand

thread and the other one has a left-hand thread.

1a = screw with right thread

(loosen anti-clockwise)

1b = screw with left thread

(loosen clockwise)

The blade (2) is attached to the

fan (3) by a bracket (4) and four

screws with washers (5).

Use a 10 mm key to loosen the

four screws (5) and free the

blade (2) from its bracket (4).

Sharpen the two cutting edges us-

ing a medium grade grinding

wheel and check the balance by

holding the blade up with a screw

driver inserted in the central hole.

Damaged or bent blades must always be re-

placed; never try to repair them! ALWAYS USE MANUFAC-

TURER'S GENUINE BLADES!

Only the following pairs of blades can be used on this machine:

The blades (2) and fans (3) differ and are

contra-rotating. When installing them, make sure that they are

correctly positioned.

– Completely loosen the two nuts (3), the nuts (4 - 6 - 8) and the

locknuts (5 - 7 - 9) of the three trace rods until the deck is rest-

ing on the blocks;

– turn the two right-hand upper nuts (6 - 8) and the left-hand

lower nut (4) to the point where the deck begins to lift. Tighten

the three locknuts (5 - 7 - 9) and turn the nuts (3) until the slight-

est movement of the lifting lever brings about a similar move-

ment of all the lifting rods.

Any difference in height from

the ground between the left and

right sides of the deck can be

compensated by turning the two

nuts (4 - 8) and locknuts (5 -9)

of just the back rods.

Put the control lever in 2 or 3

different positions and check

that the deck rises evenly and

that at each position it con-

stantly maintains the difference

in height from the ground be-

tween the front and back ed -

ges.

If the front part tends to rise faster or slower it can be adjusted by

turning the nuts (10) on the link rod (11).

Turning the nuts clockwise will lift the front part and make it rise

faster, and turning anti-clockwise will give the opposite effect.

– Loosen the nuts (3), the

screws (5) and the locknuts

(4 – 6) on both the right and

left side, so that the deck is

resting firmly on the blocks;

– push the two connecting rods

(7) to the back and screw

down the two nuts (3) on

each rod until the front part of

the deck just begins to rise

both at the right and the left,

and then tighten the relevant

locknuts (4);

– turn both the rear screws (5) until the rear of the deck begins

to rise both at the right and the left, and then tighten the rela-

tive locknuts (6).

If you are unable to adjust the cutting deck properly, contact your

Dealer.

6.3.3 Adjusting blade engagement and blade brake

When the lever to disengage the blades is operated, this also brings

the blade brake into operation for stopping the blades within few sec-

onds.

HF2315◊••

HF24••◊•• HF26••◊••

Reassemble each blade (2a –

2b) onto the respective fan (3a

–3b), following the “RH” (right)

and “LH” (left) indications

printed on the fan and inside

the cutting plate, then tighten

the four screws (5) with the

washers using a dynamometric

key which is calibrated at 9.5 Nm.

The “right” and “left” indications refer to the driv-

ing position.

If one or both

shaft hubs (7) come off when

dismantling the blades, make

sure the keys (8) are securely

lodged in place. When re-fit-

ting the blades, always follow

the indicated sequence, ma k-

ing sure that the blades'

wings are facing towards the

interior of the cutting deck

and that the cupped side of

the cup washer (6) is pressing

against the blade. Tighten the

fixing screws (1a – 1b) using a

torque wrench set to 45-50 Nm.

1a = screw with right thread (tighten clockwise)

1b = screw with left thread (tighten anticlockwise)

6.3.2 Cutting deck alignment

The cutting deck should be properly set to obtain a good cut.

For achieving good results from cutting, the front

part should always be 5 - 7 mm lower than the rear.

– Put the machine onto a flat sur-

face and check the tyre pres-

sures;

– aligned to the center lines of the

two blades, put two blocks (1)

24-28 mm thick under the front

edge of the deck and two blocks

(2) 5-7 mm higher under the

rear edge;

– put the height adjusting lever
