into grass bag, the discharge opening and inside the mower casing must be cleared of any
blockage.
Mowing tips and tricks
1. Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary to raise the height of
cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine and leaving clumps of
grass clippings.It may aslo be necessary to reduce ground speed and/or run the lawn mower
over the area a second time.
2. For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut by over lapping previously cut path and
mow slowly.
3. Pores in cloth grass catchers can become filled with dirt and dust with use and catchers
will collect less grass. To prevent this, regularly hose catcher off with water and let dry before
using.
4. Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean of grass clippings and chaff. This will help
engine air flow and extend engine life.
6. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Regular, careful maintenance is essential for keeping the safety level and
original performance of the machine unchanged in time.
1) Keep all nuts,bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
Regular maintenance is essential for safety and performance.
2) Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside a building where vapour may reach a
flame or a spark or a source of extreme heat.
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in an enclosed space.
4) To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, exhaust silencer, battery compartment and fuel
storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Do not leave containers with grass
cuttings in rooms.
5) For reasons of safety, do not use the equipment with worn or damaged parts. Parts are
to be replaced and not repaired. Use genuine spare parts (blades should always bear
the symbol). Parts that are not of the same quality can damage the equipment and be
dangerous for your safety.
6) If the fuel tank has to be drained , this should be done outdoors and when the engine is
cool.
7) Wear strong work gloves when removing and reassembling the blade.
8) Check the blade's balance after sharpening.
9) Check the self-closing guard and grass-catcher frequently for wear and deterioration.
10) Whenever the machine is to be handled, transported or tilted you must:
- Wear strong working gloves;
- Grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip, taking account of the weight and its
distribution.
Cleaning
Carefully clean the machines with water after each cut; remove the grass debris and mud
accumulated inside the chassis to avoid their drying and thus making the next start-up difficult.
The paintwork on the inside of the chassis may peel off in time due to the abrasive action of
the cut grass; in this case, intervene promptly by touching up the paintwork using a rustproof
paint to prevent the formation of rust that would lead to corrosion of the metal.
