STANDARDS OF USE

For instructions regarding the engine and the battery (if
supplied), read the relevant manuals.
1. FINISH ASSEMBLY
NOTE – The machine can be supplied with some of the
components already fitted.
1.1
Remove the two lower knobs (1) and the screws (3)
from the side brackets of the handle.
Move the lower part of the pre-fitted handle (2) to its work-
ing position and fasten it with the lower knobs (1) and
screws (3) supplied, checking that the centring washers (4)
are positioned properly. Tighten the nuts (5).
Move the upper part (6) of the handle to its working posi-
tion and fasten it using the nuts and bolts (7) provided,
ensuring that the spiral (8) of the starter cable is positioned
correctly.
Attach the control cables using the strap (9) in the position
shown.
Attach the wiring sheath (if fitted) using the straps (10) in
the positions shown.
1.2
Insert the frame (1) in the sack (2) and attach the
plastic profiles (3) using a screwdriver, as shown in the
drawing.
With the plastic part (4) upside-down, fit the edge of the
cloth (5) right into the groove of the plastic part (4), starting
5–7 mm from the ends.
1.3
On models with an electric starter, connect the bat-
tery cable to the lawnmower's general cable connection.
Untie the starter keys, fitted on the upper part of the han-
dle.
2. DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS
2.1
The throttle (where fitted) is controlled by the lever
(1) and positioned as shown on the relative plate. Some
models have a fixed speed, and therefore no need of a
throttle (2).
2.2
The blade brake is controlled by the lever (1), which
should be held against the handle when starting and using
the lawnmower.The engine stops when the lever is
released.
2.3
In power-driven models, draw the lever (1) towards
the handle for forward movement. The lawnmower stops
moving forward when the lever is released.
2.4
The height is adjusted using the special lever (1).
MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT ONLY WHEN THE BLADE IS
STOPPED.
3. GRASS CUTTING
3.1
Lift the stone-guard and attach the grass-catcher
(1) correctly as shown in the drawing.
3.2
To start the engine, follow the instructions in the
engine booklet and then pull the blade brake lever (1)
towards the handle and give a sharp pull on the starter
cable knob (2). For models with an electric starter, turn the
starter key (3).
3.3
The lawn will look better if it is always cut to the
same height and in alternate directions.
3.4
When you have finishing mowing, release the brake
lever (1) and disconnect the spark plug cap (2). Remove the
starter key (3) (where fitted). WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO
STOP before carrying out any type of work on the machine.
4. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT – Regular, careful maintenance is essen-
tial for keeping the safety level and original perform-
ance of the machine unchanged in time.
Store the lawnmower in a dry place.
1) Wear strong working gloves during any cleaning, main-
tenance or adjustment operation on the machine.
2) Carefully clean the machines with water after each cut;
remove the grass debris and mud accumulated inside
the chassis to avoid their drying and thus making the
next start-up difficult.
3) The paintwork on the inside of the chassis may peel off
in time due to the abrasive action of the cut grass; in this
case, intervene promptly by touching up the paintwork
using a rustproof paint to prevent the formation of rust
that would lead to corrosion of the metal.
4) Should it be necessary to access the lower part, only tilt
the machine from the side shown in the engine hand-
book; following the relative instructions.
5) Do not drip petrol onto the plastic parts of the motor or
the machine to prevent damaging them and remove all
traces of spilt petrol immediately. The warranty does not
cover damage to plastic parts caused by petrol.
4.1
All operations on the blade should be carried out at
a specialized centre.
Note for specialized centres: Reassemble the blade (2) as
shown in the drawing and tighten the central screw (1)
using a torque wrench set to 35-40 Nm.
4.2
In power-driven models:
• adjust the tension of the belt with the nut (1) to get the
right measurement (6 mm).
• turn the adjusting nut (2) so that the wire (3) is slightly
loose and the lever (4) is idle.
4.3
To recharge a flat battery, connect to the battery
charger (1) following the instructions in the battery mainte-
nance handbook. Do not connect the battery charger
directly to the engine terminal. It is not possible to start the
engine using the battery charger as a power source, as it
may get damaged.
If the machine is to remain inactive for a long period, dis-
connect the battery leads after making sure that the battery
is fully charged.
Should you have any doubts or problems, do not hesitate
to contact your nearest Service Centre or your Dealer.
