5. GRASS CUTTING
Lift the discharge-deflector
and correctly attach the
cloth grass-catcher (1) as
shown in the drawing.
Connect the extension ca-
ble correctly as indicated.
Start the engine by pressing
the safety push-button (2)
and pulling the switchgear
lever (1).
If it is necessary to tilt the
machine to encourage the
motor to start on grass, only
tilt the front part, ONLY FOR
THE TIME THAT IS NEC-
ESSARY.
While cutting, ensure that
the electric cable is always
behind you and on the area
of grass already cut.
The lawnʼs appearance will be improved if it is always cut to the
same height and is cut in alternate directions.
Once cutting is finished, re-
lease the lever (1). FIRST
disconnect the cable exten-
sion from the supply socket
(2) and THEN from the side
of the lawnmowerʼs switch -
gear (3). Wait for the blade
to stop before carrying out
any type of work on the
lawnmower.
5EN
This model is fitted with an engine thermal pro-
tection device to protect the engine when it (or the blade) shuts
down (or blocks) during operations, for whatever reason.
• Function: to prevent overheating and damage to the engine,
caused by abnormal use.
• Triggering of the protection device: when an abnormal event oc-
curs, the power supply to the engine is shut down immediately.
Procedure to follow when the protection device is triggered:
– release the switch lever;
– disconnect the extension lead;
– check what caused the blade to suddenly come to a halt (clean
the cutting guard);
– allow the machine to cool down in a cool environment (for from
30 to 60 minutes).
Precautions when starting up the machine again:
– check that the blade is able to move freely (using protective
gloves);
– check the safety conditions in the surrounding area (objects on the
lawn, persons or animals in the vicinity);
– connect the extension lead;
– enable the switch;
– if there are no abnormalities, such as unusual noises, you can now
continue your work.
