8. MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Careful and regular maintenance is essential to maintain a level of safety and to keep your machine
running well for an extended period of time.
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to ensure that your equipment is operating in optimum safety.
2) Never store the equipment with fuel inside the tank or inside a building where the vapors may come in contact with
a flame or a spark or where it is very hot.
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing it in an enclosed location.
4) To reduce the risk of fire, keep engine, exhaust, battery and area free of grass, leaves or grease. Do not store contai-
ners containing cut grass in the same room.
5) For safety reasons, do not use the equipment with any damaged or worn components. Replace these items and do
not attempt to repair them. Use original components (the blades should always have the seal). Those components that
are not of the same quality may damage the equipment and pose a safety hazard.
6) If you have to empty the fuel tank, do it with the doors open and when the engine is cold.
7) Wear heavy duty gloves when removing or moving the blades.
8) Check blade balance after sharpening.
9) Check the condition of the grass catcher and grass catcher frequently in case of use or damage.
10) Whenever you will use, transport or tilt the machine, you should:
Skin-resistant work gloves.
- Hold the machine by the places that offer the best grip and where it is safer, taking into account the weight and the
distribution.
