– for particularly high grass, initially mow at maxi-
mum admitted machine height followed by a
second mow after two or three days.

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT – Regular, careful maintenance is
essential for keeping the safety level and origi-
nal performance of the machine unchanged in
time.
Wear strong working gloves during any cleaning,
maintenance or adjustment operation on the
machine.
Should it be necessary to access the lower part,
only tilt the machine from the side shown in the
engine handbook; following the relative instruc-
tions.
CLEANING
Carefully clean the machines with water after each
cut; remove the grass debris and mud accumulat-
ed inside the chassis to avoid their drying and thus
making the next start-up difficult.
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 rustproof paint to prevent
the formation of rust that would lead to corrosion of
the metal.
Remove the transmission casing by removing the
screws S (fig. 10) and clean around the transmis-
sion (*) and drive belts (*) with a brush or com-
pressed air once or twice a year.
Once every season, the drive wheels (*) should be
cleaned internally. Remove both wheels. Clean the
gear wheel and the wheel gear rim of grass and dirt
using a brush or compressed air (fig. 11).
BATTERY (*)
In normal use during the season, the battery is
charged by the engine. If the engine cannot be
started with the ignition key, it may be because the
battery is 'dead'.
Connect the battery charger (provided) to the bat-
tery, then connect the charger to a wall socket and
charge for 24 hours (fig. 14).
The battery charger may not be connected directly
to the engine terminal. It is not possible to start the
engine with the charger as the power source and
the charger could be damaged.
ENGLISH
WINTER STORAGE
Remove the battery and store it fully charged (see
above) in a dry, cool place (between 0°C and
+15°C). At least once during the winter storage
period, the battery should be maintenance-
charged.
Before the start of the season, the battery should
be charged once again for 24 hours.
ADJUSTING CLUTCH CABLE (*)
Type I
If the drive does not engage when the clutch loop
is pressed against the handle, or if the lawnmower
feels cumbersome or slow, this may be because
the clutch in the transmission is slipping. To rectify
this situation, adjust the clutch cable as follows
(with the engine off):
1. When the clutch loop is released, it should be
possible to push the mower backwards without
any resistance. If this is not the case, screw in
the nipple T until the mower can be pushed (fig.
15).
2. When the clutch loop is pressed in approx. 2 cm
(position 1), there should be some resistance
when pushing the lawnmower. With the clutch
loop fully pressed in (position 2) it should not be
possible to push the mower. Unscrew the nipple
T until this position is achieved.
Type II
Check the clutch function (fig. 16):
1. Push the mower forwards and backwards with
disengaged transmission.
2. Set the clutch control to the
push the mower until the front wheels engage.
3. In this position, the spring W should be extend-
ed 6 mm from it's unloaded position to provide
sufficient locking force in the transmission.
4. If the spring is not extended sufficiently, adjust
the wire nipple I at the handlebar.
5. First loosen the locking nut S and then adjust
the nipple I.
6. Set the clutch control to the
check that the transmission is disengaged by
rolling the mower forwards and backwards.
SHOCK-ABSORBER

ing sleeves twice per season. Replace in the event
of damage or wear.
