STANDARDS OF USE
NOTE – The machine can be supplied with some of the
components already fitted.
Return the lower part of the pre-fitted handle (1) to
its working position and lock into place using the lower
knobs (2).
Attach the upper part (3) using the screws (4) supplied.
Fit the cable clamps (5) as shown. The correct position for
the cable hook (6) is as shown.
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.
The cutting height is adjusted using the levers (1).
The four wheels must be at the same height.
MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT ONLY WHEN THE BLADE IS
STOPPED.
Connect the extension cable correctly as indicated.
Start the engine by pressing the safety push-button (2) and
pulling the switchgear lever (1).
While cutting, ensure that the electric cable is
always behind you and on the area of grass already cut.
The lawn will look better if it is always cut to the same
height and in alternate directions.
A machine with MULCHING system cuts the grass, chops
it finely and then blows it down in the lawn. The grass clip-
pings need not to be collected.
The following rules should be observed to give best
MULCHING effect:
1. Do not cut the grass too short. Not more than 1/3rd of
the length should be cut off.
2. Always keep it clean under the mower casing.
3. Always use a well sharpened blade.
4. Avoid mowing when the grass is wet. The grass then
sticks to the underside of the casing, giving poor mow-
ing results.

1. FINISH ASSEMBLY
EN
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.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Should the motor stop during use through overheating,
wait about 5 minutes before re-starting.
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) 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.
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.
Do not use forced water and avoid wetting the
motor or the electrical components
Should you have any doubts or problems, do not hesitate
to contact your nearest Service Centre or your Dealer.
