-select a gear, and lift your weight off the seat – the engine should stop (only Master, Senator, Comfort).
-press the drive pedal so that the machine starts to move, and then release the drive pedal – the ma- chine should stop (applies to President, Royal).

STARTING
1.Open the fuel cock (fig. 9).
2.Check that the spark plug cable is in place.
3.Check that the power
4a. Master - Senator - Comfort: Put the gear lever in neutral.
4b. President - Royal:
Do not keep your foot on the drive pedal.
5.Starting cold engine – put the throttle control in the choke position. Starting warm engine – put the throttle control at full throttle (approx. 1 cm behind the choke position).
6.Press down the brake pedal fully.
7.Turn the starter key and start the engine.
8.Once the engine has started, move the throttle control gradually to full throttle if the choke has been used.
9.When starting a cold engine let the engine run for a few minutes before using the machine. This allows the oil to warm up.
When in use, always run the engine at full throttle.
STOPPING
Disengage the power
Allow the engine to idle for 1 - 2 minutes. Stop the engine by turning off the starter key.
Shut off the fuel cock. This is particularly impor- tant if the machine is to be transported on a trailer for example.
If the machine is left unattended, re- move the lead from the spark plug. Re- move also the starter key.
The engine can be very hot immediately after the engine is stopped. Do not touch the silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges to avoid burn injuries.
OPERATING TIPS
Make sure that there is the correct quantity of oil in the engine when driving on slopes (oil level at “FULL ”).
Be careful when driving on slopes. No sudden starting or stopping when mov- ing up or down a slope. Never drive across a slope. Drive from the top and down, or from the bottom and up.
When going down slopes greater than 20º the rear wheels can lift from the ground. However, the mower deck pre- vents the machine from tipping over forwards.
The machine, equipped with original accessories, must not be driven in any direction on slopes with a gradient of more than 10°.
Reduce speed on slopes and when mak- ing sharp turns to prevent the machine from tipping over, and to make sure you do not loose control of the machine.
Do not turn the steering wheel to full lock when driving in top gear and at full throttle. The machine can tip over.
Keep hands and fingers away from the seat mounting. Risk of pinch injuries. Never operate the machine without the engine casing.
Never drive with the mower deck en- gaged and lifted up. This will damage the drive belt to the unit.
