keeping the safety level and original performance of the
machine unchanged in time.
Store the lawnmower in a dry place.
1) Wear strong working gloves during any cleaning, mainte-
nance 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) Use the specific attachment for the water hose to clean
the internal parts of the lawnmower (if provided). Place the
machine on a flat firm surface, select the lowest cutting
height and always stand behind the lawnmower handle when
cleaning.
4) 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 rust-
proof paint to prevent the formation of rust that would lead to
corrosion of the metal.
5) If accessing the lower part is necessary, only tilt the machine
on the side indicated in the engine manual, following the rel-
evant instructions. In models that include side discharge,
remove the discharge deflector (if installed­* 3.1.d).
6) Do not drip petrol onto the plastic parts of the engine or the
machine to prevent damaging them and remove all traces of
spilt petrol immediately. The warranty does not cover dam-
age to plastic parts caused by petrol.

the disposal of waste materials after cutting.
– Scrupulously comply with local regulations and provisions for
the disposal of pakagings, oils, petrol, batteries, filters, dam-
aged parts or any elements which have a strong impact on the
environment; this waste must not be disposed of as normal
waste, it must be separated and taken to specified waste dis-
posal centres where the material will be recycled.
– At the time of decommissioning, do not pollute the environ-
ment with the machine, hand it over to a disposal centre, in
