cut path and mow slowly.
Pores in cloth grass catchers can be-
come filled with dirt and dust with use
and catchers will collect less grass. To
prevent this, regularly hose catcher off
with water and let dry before using.
Keep top of engine around starter
clear and clean of grass clippings
and chaff. This will help engine air
flow and extend engine life.
MAINTENANCE
Regular, careful main-
IMPORTANT:
tenance is essential for keeping the
safety level and original performance
of the machine unchanged in time.
Keep all nuts,bolts and screws tight
to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
Regular maintenance is essential for
safety and performance.
Never store the equipment with fuel
in the tank inside a building where
vapour may reach a flame or a spark
or a source of extreme heat.
Allow the engine to cool before stor-
ing in an enclosed space.
To reduce the fire hazard, keep the
engine, exhaust silencer, battery
compartment and fuel storage area
free of grass, leaves, or excessive
grease. Do not leave containers with
grass cuttings in rooms.
For reasons of safety, do not use the
equipment with worn or damaged
parts. Parts are to be replaced and
not repaired. Use genuine spare
parts (blades should always bear
the symbol).
Parts that are not of the same qual-
ity can damage the equipment and
be dangerous for your safety.
If the fuel tank has to be drained ,
this should be done outdoors and
when the engine is cool.
Wear strong work gloves when re-
moving and reassembling the blade.
Check the blade's balance after
sharpening. Check the self-closing
guard and grass-catcher frequently
for wear and deterioration.
Whenever the machine is to be han-
29
dled, transported or tilted you must:
Wear strong working gloves; Grasp
the machine at the points that offer a
safe grip, taking account of the weight
and its distribution.
CLEANING
Carefully clean the machines with wa-
ter 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.
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 and clean
around the transmission and drive
belts with a brush or compressed
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.
CHANGING BLADES
Reinstall as illustrated.
Tighten the screw properly.
Tightening torque 45 Nm.
When replacing the blade, the
blade screw should also be replaced.
CHANGE OIL
Let engine runs out of out, and
wait until engine Stopped and
cooled slightly.
Discoonnect spark plug wire and keep
away from Spark plug.
When engine is still warm, remove
oil drain plug. Drain oil into a
proper container.
Clean the oil drain plug beforg restor-
ing it back.
Place engine level. Remove
dipstick.Add new recomended oil
about 0.3L slowly to upper limit
on dipstick, Don't overfill.
Replace dipstick
A
SPARK PLUG
Once the engine has cooled, remove the
spark plug and clean the plug with a wire
brush. Using a feeler gauge, set the gap
to 0.75 mm( 0.030"). Refit the spark
plug taking care not to overtighten.
