- a central screw (3f) with a spacer (4), unscrew using an 10 mm
key;
The right guard (1d) is fixed by:
– two nuts (2d) unscrew using a 10 mm key;
- a front screw (3g), unscrew using a Torx T30 key.
- a central screw (3h) with a spacer (4), unscrew using an 10 mm
key;

When remounting the left and right guards, make sure the spacers
(4) are fitted correctly below the screws (3f) and (3h).
To disassemble each guard and clean the cutting-means assembly:
- bring the cutting-means assembly to position «1» (completely low
position);
- use suitable keys to unscrew the nuts and all the screws, on the left
and right, and remove the left and right guards;
- use a jet of compressed air to remove any debris and dirt from the
upper section of the cutting-means assembly.
WARNING!
The machine must not be used if both guards
are not correctly installed. Always replace any damaged
guards.
5.4.13 Storage and inactivity for long periods
If the machine is likely to be unused for a long period of time (more
than 1 month), disconnect the battery ground cable (black). In addi-
tion, lubricate all joints as shown (
WARNING!
Carefully remove any dry grass cuttings
which may have collected around the engine or silencer to
prevent their catching fire the next time the machine is used!
Empty the fuel tank by disconnecting the tube situated at the inlet
of the fuel filter (1).
Reconnect the fuel tube.
Loosen the carburetor drain screw (2) and drain the fuel into a suit-
able container. Tighten the drain screw.
Remove the two spark plugs and pour a tablespoon of clean engine
oil into the cylinders. Run the engine for 1 to 2 seconds using the
starter motor, by turning the ignition key. This will distribute the oil

special containers. Always put the tank and fuel container
caps back on and tighten well.
IMPORTANT
Before a long storage period (more than 1 month), always charge
3g
the battery using the specific battery charger supplied with the
machine and then recharge before using again (
The next time the machine is used, check that there are no fuel leaks
from the tubes or carburettor.
5.4.14 Control panel protection device
The electronic circuit board has a self-resetting protector which
breaks the circuit if there is a fault in the electrical system. This will
stop the engine and is signalled by an acoustic sound alert that is
deactivated only by removing the key.
The circuit automatically resets after a few seconds but the cause of
the fault should be ascertained and dealt with to avoid reactivating
the protection device.
IMPORTANT
– do not invert the leads on the battery terminals;
– do not use the machine without its battery or damage may be
caused to the charge regulator;
– be careful not to cause short-circuits.

5.5 USING ON SLOPES

Only mow on slopes with gradients up to the maximum already
mentioned (max 10° - 17%). Lawns on a slope have to be mowed
moving up and down and never across them. When changing direc-
tion, take great care that the wheels facing up the slope do not hit any
obstacles (such as stones, branches, roots, etc.) that may cause the
machine to slide sideways, tip over or make you lose control.
The icon (4.13.l) shows that the inclination angle of the machine ap-
proach the recommended slope limit.
