EMPTYING THE GRASS BAG
When the grass bag becomes too full, grass
collection is no longer efficient (the sound of the
mower changes and the bag is no longer puffed up by the air from
the blade).
1. Stop the engine.
2. Remove the grass bag (see page 4).
3. Empty the bag:
• Hold the bag by the metal handle [1].
• Grasp handle [2] and shake the bag
to remove the grass.
CAUTION:
• To reduce the fire risk, never leave grass
cuttings or leaves in the grass bag, or in
or near buildings. Decomposing
vegetable matter causes a high
temperature rise.
Before use, check that the bag closing device is correctly
positioned (discharge guard).

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance is the guarantee of a long lifetime for your
mower.
To avoid the mower
starting accidentally, pull
off the spark plug cap [3]
fefore carrying out
maintenance work.
CAUTION:
• The engine and the muffler reach temperatures high enough to
cause burns and start fires if flammable materials are to be found
nearby.
• Allow the engine to cool down for 15 minutes before carrying out
maintenance operations.
NOTE: To assure a longer lifetime and more efficient operation,
the underside of the mower must be kept clean and free of grass
debris by cleaning with a brush and scraper. After use the mower
must be cleaned thoroughly before being stored.

AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE

A dirty air cleaner will reduce the flow of air to the carburetor. To
prevent the carburetor operating inefficiently, the air cleaner must
be regularly maintained.
Never clean the air cleaner element using gas or flammable
solvents; this could cause a fire or an explosion.
