If accessing the lower part is necessary, only tilt the machine on the side indi-
cated in the engine manual, following the relevant instructions, making sure
that the machine is perfectly stable before performing any interventions. On
side discharge models, remove the discharge chute (if installed – see 3.1.d).
5.
Do not drip petrol onto the plastic parts of the engine or the machine to pre-
vent damaging them and remove all traces of spilled petrol immediately. The
warranty does not cover damage to plastic parts caused by petrol.
6.
Use the specific attachment for the water hose to clean the internal parts of
the chassis (if provided). To perform the cleaning, adjust the cutting height
to the lowest setting, then start the engine and engage the cutting means,
standing behind the lawnmower handle.
7.
To ensure that the machine will function properly over time, it is highly re-
commended to change the engine oil regularly, following the timing indicated
in the engine's Instruction Manual. The oil can be discharged at a specialised
servicing centre, or by using a syringe to suction the oil out through the filler
spout, bearing in mind you may need to repeat the operation several times
in order to completely empty the tank. Remember to top-up with oil before
using the machine again.
4.1 Cutting means maintenance
It is best if all interventions on the cutting means are done at a specialised Centre
that has the most appropriate tools and equipment.
Only cutting means bearing the code indicated in the table on page vi must be
used on this machine. Given product evolution, the above mentioned cutting
means may be replaced in time with others having similar interchangeable and
operating safety features.
