LAWN CARE RECOMMENDATIONS
Each type of grass has different characteristics and may thus
require different ways of caring for the lawn; always read the
instructions on seed boxes for mowing height for the growing
conditions in the work area.
Keep in mind that most grass is made up of a stem and one
or more leaves. If leaves are fully cut, the lawn is damaged
and growth is more difficult.
The following indications generally apply:
– cutting too low tears and uproots the grass, giving it a
"spotted" appearance;
– in the summer, cutting must be higher to prevent the
ground from drying;
– d o not cut wet grass; this could reduce blade efficiency due
to sticky grass and tear the lawn.
– for particularly high grass, initially mow at the maximum
height allowed by the machine then mow again after two
or three days.
The appearance of the lawn will improve if you alternate cut-
ting in both directions at the same height.

Release the lever (1) when work has been completed.
Disconnect the extension cable FIRST from the general
socket (2) THEN from the side of the lawnmower switch (3).
WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE STOPS before making an adjust-
ments to the lawnmower.
IMPORTANT - If the motor stops because it is overheated
while mowing, you must wait about 5 minutes before restart-
ing it.

4. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT - Routine and accurate maintenance is
essential in maintaining original machine safety and
performance levels.
Store the lawnmower in a dry place.
1) W ear sturdy work gloves before cleaning, maintaining or
adjusting the machine.
2) A ccurately wash the machine with water after cutting, re-
move grass debris and mud accumulated in the chassis to
prevent it from drying and causing problems the next time
the lawnmower is used.
On models with side discharge, remove the dis-
charge deflector (if installed -
3) A lways make sure the air intakes are free of debris.
4) P aint on internal chassis parts may come off over time
due to the abrasive action of cut grass; if this happens,
promptly touch-up paint with rust-proof paint to prevent
rusting that could corrode the metal.

Only blades with the following code must be used on this
machine:
Blades must always be marked « » or «GGP». Given prod-
uct 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.

obtained by adjusting the nut (1) to get the indicated meas-
urement (6 mm).
Environmental protection should be a priority of considerable
importance when using the machine, for the benefit of both
social coexistence and the environment in which we live.
– Try not to cause any disturbance to the surrounding area.
– Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the disposal
– Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the disposal
– When decommissioning, do not pollute the environment
