STANDARDS OF USE

1. FINISH ASSEMBLY
NOTE – The machine can be supplied with some of the
components already fitted.
1.1
Fix the upper part of the handle (1) to the lower part
(2) using the knob (3) and washer (4).
Insert the starting cable (5) into the guide (6) and lock the
fixing nut (7). Fix the control cables using the clips (8).
The height of the handle can be adjusted by loosening the
lower screws (9). The upper part of the handle (1) can be
turned sideways to facilitate working near walls by loosen-
ing the knob (3).
The screws (9) and knob (3) must always be fully lightened
when working.
1.2
On models with an electric starter, connect the bat-
tery cable to the lawnmower's general cable connection.
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 models with drive the lawnmower moves for-
wards when the lever (1) is pointing towards the operator.
The drive must be engaged with the engine running.
The lawnmower stops moving forwards when lever (1) is
set to position "N". When the blade brake lever is released,
lever (1) automatically moves to position "N", stopping for-
ward movement.
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
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).
3.2
The lawn will look better if it is always cut to the
same height and in alternate directions.
A machine with the MULCHING system cuts the grass,
chops it finely and then blows it down into the lawn.
The grass clippings need not be collected.
The following rules should be observed to give the best
MULCHING effect:
1. Use a high engine speed (full throttle).
2. Do not mow when the grass is wet.
3. Do not cut the grass too short. Not more than 1/3rd of
the length should be cut off.
4. Ensure that the area under the mower casing is always
kept clean.
5. Always use a well-sharpened blade.
3.3
When you have finishing mowing, release the brake
lever (1) and disconnect the spark plug cap (2). Remove the
starter key (3) (where fitted).
