5.4.8 Cleaning the machine

After each use, clean the machine exterior.

Clean the plastic parts of the body with a damp

sponge using water and detergent, taking care

not to wet the engine, the electrical parts or the

electronic circuit board located under the dash-

board.

IMPORTANT Never use hose-nozzles or

harsh detergents for cleaning the body and en-

gine!

WARNING! Do not let debris and dried

grass accumulate in the upper part of the

cutting-means assembly in order to maintain

maximum machine efficiency and safety

levels.

After each use, clean the cutting-means as-

sembly thoroughly to remove any grass remains

or debris.

WARNING! Wear eye protection and

keep people or animals away from the sur-

rounding area when cleaning the cutting-

means assembly.

a) When washing the inside of the cutting-

means assembly and the collector channel, the

machine must be on rm ground with:

– the side discharge chute tted;

– the operator seated;

– the cutting-means assembly in position «1»;

– the engine running;

– the transmission in neutral;

– the cutting means engaged.

Connect a water hose to each of the pipe ttings

(1) one at a time and run water through each one

for a few minutes, with the cutting means mov-

ing (Fig. 5.9)

IMPORTANT In order not to compromise the

efficiency of the electromagnetic clutch:

– do not let the clutch come into contact with oil;

– do not spray pressurised water directly on the

clutch unit;

– do not clean the clutch with petrol.

b) To clean the upper part of the cutting-

means assembly:

– lower the cutting-means assembly completely

(position «1»);

– blow a jet of compressed air through the right

and left guard openings. Fig. 5.10)

5.4.9 Storage and inactivity

for long periods

If you intend not to use the machine for a long

period (more than 1 month), disconnect the

battery cables and follow the instructions in the

engine instruction manual.

Fig. 5.11) Empty the fuel tank by disconnecting

the tube (1) situated at the inlet of the fuel lter

(2), and collect the fuel in a suitable container.

Reconnect the tube (1) making sure you position

the clamp properly (3).

Put the machine away in a dry, sheltered place

and preferably covered with a cloth (see 8.5).

IMPORTANT The battery must be kept in a

cool and dry place. Before a long storage period

(more than 1 month), always charge the bat-

tery, and then recharge before using again (see

6.2.3).

The next time the machine is used, check that

there are no fuel leaks from the tubes, fuel stop-

cock or carburettor.

5.4.10 Circuit board protection fuse

The electronic circuit board is tted with a fuse

which breaks the circuit if there is a fault or short

circuit on the electrical system.

The intervention of the fuse causes the engine

to stop; before replacing the fuse (see 6.3.5) try

to nd and remove the cause of the fault to pre-

vent it from happening again.

5.5 USING ON SLOPES (Fig. 5.12)

Observe the indicated limits (max 10° - 17).

WARNING! Take care when beginning

forward movement on sloping ground to

prevent the risk of tipping up. Reduce the

forward speed before going on a slope, par-

ticularly downhill.

DANGER! Never switch to reverse gear

to decrease speed when going downhill: this

could cause loss of control of the machine,

especially on slippery ground.

Mechanical transmission

DANGER! Never ride the machine on

slopes in neutral or with the clutch out!

Always shift into a low gear before leav-

ing the machine at a standstill and unat-

tended.

How do you set it for mulching mode. I have no manual. It leaves a row of grass between blades at moment. Thanks. Submitted on 23-3-2018 at 03:58
