levels.
Store the lawnmower in a dry place.
1) Wear sturdy work gloves before cleaning, maintaining or ad-
justing the machine.
2) Accurately wash the machine with water after cutting, remove
grass debris and mud accumulated in the chassis to prevent it
from drying and causing problems the next time the lawnmower
is used.
3) Always make sure the air intakes are free of debris.
WARNING - Remove the safety key before storing the machine
and before beginning any cleaning or maintenance.

(Model 380)
If necessary, the machine can be stored vertically, hanging from
a hook.
WARNING - Make sure the hook and its fastening system are
adequate and able to sustain the machine's weight; exercise
caution and make sure children or animals do not climb on
the machine, weighing down the hook.
Fasten the machine so that the blade faces a wall or is prop-
erly covered, so it is not dangerous in the event of accidental
38
contact with persons, children or animals.
To store the machine vertically, release the levers (1 - Type "III")
or loosen the knobs (2 - Type "IV") and turn the handle forward
so the tooth marked with «>» matches EXCLUSIVELY with the
compartment marked «S» of the teeth, then lock the levers (1 -
Type "III") or the knobs (2 - Type "IV"). The position must be the
same for both sides.
The position must be the same for both sides.
4.2
Each adjustment made to the blade is best if done at a
specialised Centre that has the most appropriate tools.
Only blades with the following code must be used on this machine:
81004157/0 (for model 340)
81004156/0 (for model 380)
Blades must always be marked «GGP». Given product evolution,
the above mentioned blades may be replaced in time by others,
with similar interchangeable and operating safety features.
Reassemble the blade (2) with the code and markings facing the
ground, following the steps indicated in the illustration.
Tighten the central screw (1) using a torque wrench set to 30 Nm
(Model 340) or 16-20 Nm (Model 380).
4.3
Do not spray water onto and avoid wetting the motor and
electrical components.
Do not use aggressive liquids to clean the chassis.

BATTERY RECHARGING AND HANDLING
NOTE
1. The battery must be kept in environments where the tempera-
ture is between 0° and + 45°C. If the machine is stored in places
where the temperature could exceed those limits, please re-
move the battery and keep it in a suitable place.
2. D uring use, the battery is protected against total drainage with
a protective device that switches off the machine and stops it
from working.
3. T he battery is equipped with a guard that inhibits recharging if
the environmental temperature is not between 0 and +45 °C.
4. T he battery can be recharged at any time, even partially, with
no risk of damaging it.
