SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING!
- Never use the lawnmower on wet grass or on other slippery
surfaces. Hold the handlebar firmly with two hands. Walk
behind the lawnmower, never run.
- Do not mow up or down a slope, but always across it; if the
slope is too steep, do not mow.
- Mow only in daylight or under strong artificial lighting.
- Always check that rear deflector is properly in place.
- If you strike an object, stop the engine and check for any
damage; do not restart the engine before carrying out the
necessary repairs.
- Do not tilt the mower when starting: the blade could cause
injuries.
- Never stand in front of the mower when the engine is
running.
- Stop the engine when crossing paths, drives and when
transporting the lawnmover to and from the area to be
mowed.
- Stop the motor and remove the safety plug (9, Fig.2) before
removing the grass catcher or cleaning the grass discharge
chute.
- Always maintain a secure footing on slopes.
- Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes and when transporting the lawnmover to and from
the area to be mowed.
- Ensure that only replacement cutting means of the right
18
type are used.
- Exercise extreme caution when reversing or pulling the
lawnmower towards you.
- Never touch the blades before having disconnected the
safety plug (9, Fig.2) and before the blades have stopped
completely.
- Do not use the lawnmower if the grass catcher is broken or
clogged with grass.
- In the case of anomalous vibration: check for damage,
renew any damaged parts and check and tighten any loose
parts.
Cutting height adjustment
WARNING! Adjust the cutting height only with the
motor stopped and safety plug (9, Fig.2) removed.
Adjust lever (A) to set the required cutting height (Fig.16).
NOTE
- If the grass is too high make two cuts: the first one at
maximum height; the second at the desired height.
- Mow the lawn in a spiral from the edge to the centre.
FULL-BAG INDICATOR
There is a full-bag indicator on top of the grass catcher (7,
Fig.2). When the flap is in its raised position (A, Fig.17A) this
means that the grass catcher is collecting grass cuttings.
When the flap is in its lowered position (A, Fig.17B) this means
that the grass catcher is full and must be emptied.
7. ENGINE STOPPING
Release the lever (D) (Fig. 18).
WARNING! After releasing the lever (D) the motor and
blade will continue to spin for about 3 seconds!
WARNING – Before using the machine, always make
sure that the motor stops within a few seconds of
the motor lever being released. Have the blade stoppage
time periodically tested by an Authorised Service Centre.
