2 GETTING TO KNOW THE MACHINE
The machine described herein is gardening
equipment, a ride-on lawnmower to be precise,
with front cutting.
The machine is tted with an engine which
activates the cutting device, protected by a safety
guard, as well as a drive unit which moves the
machine. The machine is articulated. This means
that the frame is divided into a front section and
a rear section which can be steered in relation to
one another. The articulated steering allows the
machine to turn smoothly round trees and other
obstacles with a very tight turning radius.
The operator can drive the machine and activate
the main commands from a sitting position in the
driver’s seat. The safety devices installed on the
machine stop the engine and the cutting device.

This machine is rear wheel drive.
The rear axle is equipped with a hydrostatic
transmission with innitely variable forward and
reverse gear ratios.
The rear axle is also equipped with a dierential to
facilitate turning.
Front mounted accessories are activated by drive
belts.
2.2 MODEL [4WD]
This machine has 4-wheel drive. The power from
the engine to the drive wheels is transferred
hydraulically.
The engine activates an oil pump which, via a
hydraulic circuit, activates the rear and front axles
(wheels).
The front and rear wheels rotate at the same
speed.
Both axles are equipped with a dierential to make
turning easier.
Front mounted accessories are activated by drive
belts.
2.3 INTENDED USE

The use of special accessories, envisaged by the
Manufacturer as original equipment or purchasa-
ble separately, allows the user to perform this work

panying the individual accessories.
