Collecting bag:
You can use water to clean the collecting bag. Make
sure the bag is perfectly dry before reinstalling it.
Other areas:
Clean the rest of the machine with a cloth dampened
in water. Never use gasoline, solvents, detergents,
water or any other liquid.
8.1.2. CHECKING THE COLLECTING BAG
Check the bag. If the bag is worn or deteriorated,
install a new one.
8.1.3. CHECKING THE ENGINE'S OIL LEVEL
- Place the machine on a flat, horizontal and
uncluttered surface.
- Unscrew the oil filler cap.
- Clean the dipstick from the oil with a cloth.
- Insert the rod and screw on the oil cap.
- Unscrew the plug again and check the mark left
by oil on the dipstick. The mark left by the oil must
be between the minimum and maximum marks.
- If the mark is below the minimum, add a little more
oil and recheck.
- If the mark is above the maximum, you will have
to remove oil from the crankcase. To do this, tilt
the lawnmower and let out a little oil (put a
container at the end of the tube to prevent oil
spilling on the machine or the ground).
8.1.4. SHARPENING THE BLADE
The sharpening of the blade should be done by the
service technician. Do not sharpen the blade. The
blade should be sharp to guarantee the right cutting
angle and the balance of the blade. Sharpening the
blade without being an expert may cause excessive
vibrations that can cause damage to your machine
and problems for the user.
Take your blade to be sharpened if, when mowing,
small strands at the tips of the grass remain and
yellow quickly.
8.2. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Read carefully the engine instruction manual.
Perform regular inspections of the machine in order
to ensure effective operation of the machine. For a
complete maintenance service, we recommend you to
take the lawnmower to your service technician.
Always use adequate replacement parts in order to
obtain a proper performance of the product and avoid
damage and risks to machine and user.
Replacement parts should be purchased at the official
service dealer. The use of non-official spare parts
may cause risk of accident, injury to the user and
scrapping of the machine.
8.2.1. AIR FILTER
The dirt in the air cleaner will cause a reduction in the
performance of the machine. Check and clean this
element. If you notice damage or alterations to the
filter, replace it with a new one.
Note: The engine must never operate without the air
filter installed.
8.2.2. CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
Perform the oil change only while the engine is still
hot.
WARNING! You must not throw old oil
in a pipeline network or on the Earth.
The contamination of groundwater and
water tables is subject to heavy fines. There are
