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, maintenance 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)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, inter- vene promptly by touching up the paintwork using a rustproof paint to prevent the formation of rust that would lead to cor- rosion of the metal.

4)Should it be necessary to access the lower part, only tilt the machine from the side shown in the engine handbook; follow- ing the relative instructions.

5)Do not drip petrol onto the plastic parts of the engine 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 50-60 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.
