• Preparation for mowing and mulching
(Fig. 5.7)
Make sure that the inside of the cutting-means 
assembly is sufficiently clean and free of grass 
and mud deposits that might hinder inserting the 
deflector cap for mulching.
Move the cutting-means assembly to the maxi-
mum height position and insert the mulching at-
tachment (1) on the discharge opening, pushing 
it down inside the collector channel until it stops.
Fasten the two elastic tie-rods (2) to the two 
holes on the sides of the collector channel (3).
Then put the grass catcher on as indicated
above.
• Preparation for mowing and grass side
discharge (Fig. 5.8)
Lift the safety lever(1) and the side discharge 
guard (2). Fasten the side discharge chute (3)
and lower the guard (2), making sure it stays 
well fastened to the chute protrusions (3a).
The side discharge chute is properly fitted if the 
two arrows are aligned (4).
Then put the grass catcher on as indicated
above.
5.3.5 Checking machine safety and
efficiency
1.    C heck that the safety devices function as de-
scribed (see 5.2).
2.    C heck that the brake is in perfect working 
order.
3.    D o not start mowing if the cutting means 
vibrate or if you are unsure whether they are 
sharp enough. Always remember that:
    –    A  badly sharpened cutting means pulls at 
the grass and causes the lawn to turn yel-
low.
    –    A  loose cutting means causes abnormal 
vibrations and can be dangerous.
WARNING!
Do not use the machine if
you are unsure whether it is working safely
or efficiently. If in doubt, contact your Dealer
immediately to make the necessary checks
or repairs.

5.4 USING THE MACHINE

5.4.1 Ignition
To start the engine (Fig. 5.9):
–    o pen the fuel stopcock (1) (if fitted) accessing 
it from the left rear wheel compartment;
–    p ut the transmission into neutral («N»)  (see 
4.12 or 4.22);
–  disengage the cutting means (see 4.3);
–  apply the parking brake on sloping ground;
–   for a cold start, use the choke (see 4.6);
–    i f the engine is already warm or without a 
choke, just put the lever between «SLOW» 
and «FAST»;
–    i nsert the ignition key and turn to «ON» to 
make electrical contact, then turn to «START» 
to start the engine;
–    r elease the ignition key once the engine has 
started.
After the machine has run for a few seconds, put 
the accelerator lever on «START» and then on
«SLOW».
IMPORTANT The choke (if provided) must
be closed as soon as the engine is running
smoothly. Using it when the engine is already
warm can foul the spark plugs and cause the en-
gine to run erratically.
NOTE If there are engine starting problems,
do not insist as you can risk running the battery
flat and flooding the engine. Turn the key to the
«OFF» position, wait for a few seconds and then
repeat the operation. If the malfunction persists,
refer to the engine manual and chapter «7» in
this manual.
IMPORTANT Always bear in mind that the
safety devices prevent the engine from starting
if safety requirements have not been met (see
5.2). 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 gear and riding
without mowing
When moving the machine:
–    d isengage the cutting means; 
–    b ring the cutting-means assembly to the high-
est position (position «7»);
–    p ut the accelerator control between the 
«SLOW» and «FAST» positions.
Mechanical transmission
Push the pedal down as far as possible (see 
4.11) and move the gear change lever into 
1st gear (see 4.12).
Keep the pedal pressed down and disen-
