STANDARDS OF USE

For instructions regarding the engine and the battery (if

supplied), read the relevant manuals.

NOTE – The machine can be supplied with some of the

components already fitted.

Bring the handle (1) back to its operating position and

secure it with the thumb knobs (2).

The handle (1) can be height-adjusted in three different posi-

tions by loosening the thumb knobs (2) and inserting the pins

(3) in one of the three pairs of holes on the brackets.

Tighten the thumb knobs (2) securely after adjustment.

Gently pull the guide spiral (4-if provided) outwards and rotate

it downwards to fit the starter rope (5); then return it to the orig-

inal position.

Mount the tray (7-if provided) by pushing the attachments right

down until you hear a click.

Unscrew the two knobs on the sides (8) to adjust the grip and

make it as comfortable as possible. Tighten the knobs (8) after

adjustment.

With the plastic part (11) upside-down, fasten the frame

(12) to the plastic part using the screws (13).

Insert the frame (12) into the sack (14) and attach the plastic

profile (15) with the help of a screwdriver, as shown in the draw-

ing.

Fit the edge of the cloth (16) right into the groove of the plastic

part (11), starting 5-7 mm from the ends.

On models with an electric starter, connect the battery

cable to the lawnmower’s general cable connection.

The throttle (where fitted) is controlled by the lever (1)

and positioned as shown on the relative plate. Some models

have a fixed speed, and therefore no need of a throttle.

The blade brake is controlled by the lever (1), which

should be held against the handle when starting and using the

lawnmower. The engine stops when the lever is released.

In power-driven models, draw the lever (1) towards the

handle for forward movement. The lawnmower stops moving

forward when the lever is released.

The speed changer (if fitted) is controlled by moving the

lever to one of the four positions, marked as:

1 - 2 - 3 - 4

The move from one speed to another must be made with the

engine running and drive engaged.

IMPORTANT - Do not touch the speed changer when the

engine is stopped. This operation could damage the speed

changer.

NOTE - If the machine does not move forwards with the con-

trol in position «1», it is enough to move the control to «4» and

then immediately return it to position «1».

The cutting height is adjusted by releasing the lever (1)

and lifting or lowering the chassis to the required position

which can be seen through the special opening.

MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT ONLY WHEN THE BLADE HAS

STOPPED MOVING.

Lift the stone-guard and attach the grass-catcher (1)

correctly as shown in the drawing.

1. FINISH ASSEMBLY

To start the engine, follow the instructions in the engine

booklet and then pull the blade brake lever (1) towards the han-

dle and give a sharp pull on the starter cable knob (2).

For models with an electric starter, turn the starter key (3).

The lawn will look better if it is always cut to the same

height and in alternate directions.

When you have finishing mowing, release the brake

lever (1) and disconnect the spark plug cap (2).

Remove the starter key (3) (where fitted).

WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO STOP before carrying out any type

of work on the machine.

IMPORTANT – Regular, careful maintenance is essential for

keeping the safety level and original performance of the

machine unchanged in time.

Store the lawnmower in a dry place.

1) Wear strong working gloves during any cleaning, mainte-

nance or adjustment operation on the machine.

2) 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.

3) Should it be necessary to access the lower part, only tilt the

machine from the side shown in the engine handbook; fol-

lowing the relative instructions.

4) Do not drip petrol onto the plastic parts of the motor or the

machine to prevent damaging them and remove all traces of

spilt petrol immediately. The warranty does not cover dam-

age to plastic parts caused by petrol.

All operations on the blade should be carried out at a

specialized centre.

Note for specialized centres: Reassemble the blade (2) as

shown in the drawing and tighten the central screw (1) using a

torque wrench set to the values specified for each type of

blade.

In power-driven models:

• adjust the tension of the belt with the nut (1) to get the right

measurement (6 mm).

• turn the adjusting nut (2) so that the wire (3) is slightly loose

and the lever (4) is idle.

The control cable must be adjusted if the difference in

speed between position «2» and position «4» is minimal or nil.

NOTE - The adjustment must be made with the engine

switched off.

Gradually turn register (2) anticlockwise (so as to cause it to

extend) until control lever (1) has difficulty in reaching position

«4»; at this point turn the register clockwise by about half a

turn, to obtain optimal adjustment of the forward speed,

together with correct engagement of the four speeds using

control lever (1).

To recharge a flat battery, connect to the battery charg-

er (1) following the instructions in the battery maintenance

handbook.

Do not connect the battery charger directly to the engine ter-

minal. It is not possible to start the engine using the battery

charger as a power source, as it may get damaged.

If the machine is to remain inactive for a long period, discon-

nect the battery leads after making sure that the battery is fully

charged.

To clean inside the machine, use the hosepipe connec-

tor (1) provided.

Always stand behind the machine's handle when cleaning.

Should you have any doubts or problems, do not hesitate to

contact your nearest Service Centre or your Dealer.
