into the central slot, and lastly insert the other end of the
pin in place (5).
1.2

electric cable hook (8) is as shown.
1.3
Assemble the two parts (1) and (2), making sure that
the hooks are fully clicked into position.

To attach the wheels, follow the steps shown. Attach
the wheels selecting one of the holes for the preferred cut-
ting heights, fully tightening the pin (1) using the wrench (2)
provided.
2. DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS

The engine is controlled by a dual action switch to
prevent starting it accidentally. To start, press the button (2)
and pull the lever (1). The engine automatically stops when
the lever (1) is released.
2.2
The cutting height is adjusted by attaching the
wheels to the required hole, fully tightening the pin (1) using
the wrench (2) provided. All the wheels must be at the same
height.
MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT ONLY WHEN THE BLADE IS
STOPPED.
3. GRASS CUTTING

pulling the switchgear lever (1).
3.3
While cutting, ensure that the electric cable is
always behind you and on the area of grass already cut.

When you have finishing mowing, release the lever
(1). FIRST disconnect the cable extension from the supply
socket (2) and THEN from the side of the lawnmower's
switchgear (3).
WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO STOP before carrying out any
type of work on the machine.
4. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT – Regular, careful maintenance is essen-
tial for keeping the safety level and original perform-
ance of the machine unchanged in time.
Store the lawnmower in a dry place.
1) Wear strong working gloves during any cleaning, main-
tenance or adjustment operation on the machine.
2) Remove the grass debris after each cut and mud accu-
mulated inside the chassis to avoid their drying and thus
making the next start-up difficult.
3) Always ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear of
debris.
4.1
All operations on the blade should be carried out at
a specialized centre.
Note for specialized centres: Reassemble the blade (2) as
shown in the drawing and tighten the central screw (1)
using a torque wrench set to 16-20 Nm.
4.2
Do not use forced water and avoid wetting the
motor or the electrical components.
Do not use harsh products for cleaning the chassis.
Should you have any doubts or problems, do not hesitate
to contact your nearest Service Centre or your Dealer.
