attempts at starting in order to prevent dis-

6. For the best mowing results, the engine should
always be driven at full throttle.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges. This
can cause burn injuries.
Type I
Release the Start/Stop loop G (fig. 8) to stop the
engine.
Type II
Release the Start/Stop loop G (fig. 7) to stop the
engine.
Disengage the drive. Set the clutch control M to
(fig. 7).
If the start/stop loop ceases to work,
stop the engine by removing the spark
plug cable from the spark plug.
Immediately take the lawn mower to an
authorised workshop for repair.
REAR WHEEL DRIVE (*)
Type I
Engage the drive by pressing the clutch loop J
towards the handle. Disengage the drive by releas-
ing the clutch loop J (fig. 8).
Type II
Engage the drive by moving the clutch control M to
(fig. 7). Make sure the clutch control is always
moved fully either to one or the other position.
MOWING TIPS
Before mowing the lawn, take care to remove any
stones, toys and other hard objects.
A machine with the MULCHING system cuts the
grass, chops it finely and then blows it down into
the lawn.
The grass clippings need not be collected.
The following rules should be observed to give the
best MULCHING effect:
1. Use a high engine speed (full throttle).
2. Do not mow when the grass is wet.
3. Do not cut the grass too short. Not more than
1/3rd of the length should be cut off.
4. Ensure that the area under the mower casing is
always kept clean.
5. Always use a well-sharpened blade.
CUTTING HEIGHT
Do not set the cutting height so low that
the blade(s) come into contact with
uneven ground.
The mower has single-lever control for adjusting
the cutting height. Pull the lever out, and set the
cutting height to one of the nine positions best
suited to your lawn (fig. 9).
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).
