8.4 WHEN WORK IS FINISHED
When work has been completed, release the brake lever (1) and disconnect the spark plug
cap (2).

Press the tab (5) and remove the consent key (4).
WAIT UNTIL THE CUTTING MEANS STOPS before proceeding any further.
IMPORTANT Routine and accurate maintenance, at least once a year, is essential in
maintaining original machine safety and performance levels. Store the lawnmower in
a dry place.
Adjustments or maintenance operations must only be performed with the engine switched off
and the spark plug cable disconnected.
1) Wear strong protective gloves before cleaning, maintaining or adjusting the machine.
2) Accurately wash the machine with water after cutting; remove grass debris and mud
accumulated in the chassis to prevent it from drying and causing problems the next time
the lawnmower is used.
3) Paint on internal chassis parts may start to flake over time due to the abrasive action of
cut grass; if this happens, promptly touch-up with rust-proof paint to prevent rusting that
could corrode the metal.
4) If accessing the lower part is necessary, only tilt the machine on the side indicated in the
engine manual, following the relevant instructions, making sure that the machine is per-
fectly stable before performing any interventions. On side discharge models, remove the
discharge chute (if installed – see 8.1.d).
5) Do not drip petrol onto the plastic parts of the engine or the machine to prevent damag-
ing them and remove all traces of spilled petrol immediately. The warranty does not cover
damage to plastic parts caused by petrol.
6) To ensure that the machine will function properly over time, it is highly recommended to
change the engine oil regularly, following the timing indicated in the engine's Instruction
Manual. The oil can be discharged at a specialised servicing centre, or by using a
syringe to suction the oil out through the filler spout, bearing in mind you may need to
repeat the operation several times in order to completely empty the tank. Remember to
top-up with oil before using the machine again.
9.1 CUTTING MEANS MAINTENANCE
All interventions on the cutting means must be done at a specialised Centre that has the most
appropriate tools and equipment.
Only cutting means bearing the code indicated in the table on page 5 must be used on this
machine.
Given product evolution, the above mentioned cutting means may be replaced in time with
others having similar interchangeable and operating safety features.
