Reconnect the tube (1) making sure you position
the clip properly (3).
WARNING!
dry grass cuttings which may have col

Put the machine away in a dry, sheltered place
and preferably covered with a cloth (
IMPORTANT
kept in a cool and dry place. Before a long stor-
age period (more than 1 month), always
charge the battery, and then recharge before
using again (

The next time the machine is used, check that
there are no fuel leaks from the tubes, fuel stop-
cock or carburettor.
5.4.12 Card protection device
The electronic circuit board has a self-resetting
protector which breaks the circuit if there is a fault
in the electrical system. This will stop the engine
and switch off the light.
The circuit automatically resets after a few sec-
onds but the cause of the fault should be ascer-
tained and dealt with to avoid reactivating the
protection device.
IMPORTANT
protection device:
– do not invert the leads on the battery termi-
nals;
– 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 THE MACHINE ON SLOPING
GROUND
Only mow on slopes with gradients up to the
maximum already mentioned (max 10° - 17%).
Lawns on a slope have to be mowed moving up
and down and never across them. When chang-
ing direction, take great care that the wheels fac-
ing up the slope do not hit any obstacles (such as
stones, branches, roots, etc.) that may cause the
machine to slide sideways, tip over or make you
lose control.

wards very carefully on sloping ground to
prevent the risk of tipping over. Reduce the
forward speed before going on a slope,
particularly downhill.
DANGER!
reduce speed going downhill: this could
cause you to lose control of the vehicle,
especially on slippery ground.

DANGER!
chine on slopes in neutral or with the
clutch out! Always shift into a low gear
before leaving the machine at a stand
still and unattended.
Hydrostatic transmission
Go down slopes with your foot off the drive
pedal (
4.32), to use the braking effect of
the hydrostatic drive when the transmission is
not engaged.
5.6 TRANSPORTING
WARNING!
transported on a truck or trailer, use
ramps With suitable resistance, width and
length. Load the machine with the engine
witched off, without a driver and pushed
by an adequate number of people.
