STANDARDS OF USE

For instructions regarding the engine and the battery (if
supplied), read the relevant manuals.
1. FINISH ASSEMBLY
NOTE - The machine can be supplied with some parts al-
ready assembled.
WARNING - Unpacking and completing the assembly
should be done on a flat and stable surface, with enough
space for machine handling and its packaging, always
making use of suitable equipment.
Disposal of the packaging should be done in accordance
with the local regulations in force.
1.1a
Type "I"
Insert the lower part of the handle (1) in the chassis holes and
lock into position with the screws (2) and shaped washers
supplied.
Fit the top of the handle (3) using the nuts and bolts (4) pro-
vided, ensuring that the spiral (5) of the starter cable is posi-
tioned correctly.
Attach the control cables using the clamps (6).
1.1b
Type "II"
Insert the lower right (1) and left (2) parts of the handle into the
respective holes and fasten them in place using the screws (3)
and the shaped washers supplied. Apply the two caps (4) to
the ends of the two lower parts of the handle (1) and (2).
Fit the top of the handle (5) using the nuts and bolts (6) pro-
vided, ensuring that the spiral (7) of the starter cable is posi-
tioned correctly.
Attach the control cables using the clamps (8).
1.2
Join the two lateral components (1) and (2) of the
grass-catcher, then fit the upper part (3) by fixing all the outer
bars correctly.
1.3
Only for models without cutting height adjustment
levers.
To attach the wheels, follow the steps shown. Attach the
wheels selecting one of the holes for the preferred cutting
heights, fully tightening the pin (1) using the wrench (2) pro-
vided and then apply the brake cover (3).
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 the power-driven models, pull the lever (1) towards
the handle for forward movement. The lawn-mower stops
moving forward when the lever is released.
2.4
The cutting height is adjusted using the levers (1).
On some models, remove the brake cover (2) and unscrew the
pin (3) using the wrench (4) provided; fit the wheels into the
required hole (5) and fully tighten the pin (3) using the wrench
(4). The four wheels must be at the same height.
MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT ONLY WHEN THE BLADE IS
STOPPED.
3. GRASS CUTTING
3.1
Lift the stone-guard and attach the grass-catcher (1)
correctly as shown in the drawing.
3.2
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).
3.3
The lawn will look better if it is always cut to the same
height and in alternate directions.
3.4
When you have finishing mowing, release the brake
lever (1) and disconnect the spark plug cap (2).
WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO STOP before carrying out any type
of work on the machine.
4. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT – Regular, careful maintenance is essential
for keeping the safety level and original performance of
the machine unchanged in time.
Store the lawnmower in a dry place.
1) Wear strong working gloves during any cleaning, mainte-
nance or adjustment operation on the machine.
2) Carefully clean the machines with water after each cut;
remove the grass debris and mud accumulated inside the
chassis to avoid their drying and thus making the next
start-up difficult.
3) Should it be necessary to access the lower part, only tilt the
machine from the side shown in the engine handbook; fol-
lowing the relative instructions.
4) Do not drip petrol onto the plastic parts of the motor or the
machine to prevent damaging them and remove all traces
of spilt petrol immediately. The warranty does not cover
damage to plastic parts caused by petrol.
4.1
Each intervention on the blade is best if conducted at
a specialised Centre that has the most appropriate tools.
Only blades with the following codes must be used on this
machine:
81004341/3
Blades must always be marked
tion, the above mentioned blade may be replaced in time by
others, with similar interchangeable and operating safety char-
acteristics.
Reassemble the blade (2) with the code and markings facing
the ground, following the order indicated in the illustration.
Tighten the central screw (1) using a torque wrench set to 35-
40 Nm.
5. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
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 and provisions
for the disposal of waste materials after cutting.
– Scrupulously comply with local regulations and provisions
for the disposal of pakagings, oils, petrol, batteries, filters,
damaged parts or any elements which have a strong impact
on the environment; this waste must not be disposed of as
normal waste, it must be separated and taken to specified
waste disposal centres where the material will be recycled.
– At the time of decommissioning, do not pollute the environ-
ment with the machine, hand it over to a disposal centre, in
accordance with the local laws in force.
Should you have any doubts or problems, do not hesitate to
contact your nearest Service Centre or your Dealer.
