taining original machine safety and performance levels. Each adjustment
or maintenance operation must be done with the motor stopped, with the
machine disconnected from the mains power supply.
Store the lawnmower in a dry place.
1) W ear sturdy work gloves before cleaning, maintaining or adjusting the
machine.
2) A ccurately wash the machine with water after cutting, remove grass de-
bris and mud accumulated in the chassis to prevent it from drying and
causing problems the next time the lawnmower is used.
3) Always make sure the air intakes are free of debris.
4.1
Blade maintenance
Each adjustment made to the blade is best if done at a specialised Centre
that has the most appropriate tools.
On this machine must be used blades with code shown in the table on
page 2.
Given product evolution, the above mentioned blades may be replaced in
time by others, with similar interchangeable and operating safety features.
Reassemble the blade (2) with the code facing the ground, following the
steps indicated in the illustration.
Tighten the central screw (1) using a torque wrench set to 15 Nm.
4.2
Cleaning the machine
Do not spray water onto and avoid wetting the motor and electrical com-
ponents.
