EN STANDARDS OF USE

1. FINISH ASSEMBLY

NOTE – The machine can be supplied with some of the components already fitted.

1.1Insert 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) provided, ensuring that the spiral (5) of the starter cable is positioned correctly.

On some models: connect the engine brake cable (6) by attaching the wire terminal (7) to the hole on the control lever (8). Fasten the cable support (6a) to the handle using the nuts and bolts (9) as shown.

Attach the control cables using the clamps (10).

3. GRASS CUTTING

3.1Lift the stone-guard and attach the grass-catcher

(1)correctly as shown in the drawing.

3.2To 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).

3.3The lawn will look better if it is always cut to the same height and in alternate directions.

3.4When 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.

1.2a For a rigid grass-catcher: Join the two lateral com- ponents (1) and (2) of the grass-catcher, then fit the upper part (3) by fixing all the outer bars correctly.

1.2b For a plastic and cloth grass-catcher: Insert the frame (11) in the sack (12) and attach the plastic bars (13) using a screwdriver, as shown in the drawing.

With the plastic part (14) upside-down, fit the edge of the cloth (15) right into the groove of the plastic part (14), start- ing 5–7 mm from the ends.

1.3Only for models without cutting height adjust- ment 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

2.1The 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.

2.2The 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.

2.3In 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.

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)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 hand- book; following 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.

4.1All 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 35-40 Nm.

4.2In the power-driven models, regulate the adjuster

(1) so that the wire (2) is slightly loose, with the lever (3) at rest.

2.4The 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.

Should you have any doubts or problems, do not hesitate to contact your nearest Service Centre or your Dealer.
