5.5 STOPPING THE ENGINE
DURING WORK STAGES
1. Move the throttle lever to
the "SLOW" position.
2. Allow the engine to idle for at
least 15-20 seconds.

contained in the owner's manual.
5.6 STOPPING THE ENGINE AT
THE END OF OPERATION
1. Move the throttle lever to
the "SLOW" position.
2. Allow the engine to idle for at
least 15-20 seconds.
3. Stop the engine following the instructions
contained in the owner's manual.
4. Once the engine is cool, take the caps
off the spark plugs (fig. 4.A) and remove
the ignition key (if applicable).
5. Remove any debris from the engine
and especially around the exhaust
silencer to reduce the risk of fire.

5.7 CLEANING AND STORAGE

• Do not spray with water or use
pressure washer wands to clean
the exterior of the engine.
• Preferably use a compressed air gun
(max. 6 bars), thus preventing debris
and dust from penetrating inside.
• Store the lawnmower (and the engine)
in a dry place, sheltered from the
elements and sufficiently ventilated.

5.8 PROLONGED DOWNTIME

If the engine is not going to be used for more than
30 days (for example, at the end of the season),
it will be necessary to take a few precautions
so that it will start back up again accordingly.
• Empty the fuel tank, to prevent deposits
from forming inside, by unscrewing the
cap (fig. 5.A) of the fuel tank and collecting
all of the fuel in a suitable container. At
the end of this operation, remember to
screw the cap back on (fig. 5.A) tightly.
• Remove the spark plugs and pour about 3 cl
of clean engine oil into the spark plug hole;
then block the hole with a rag and run the
starter motor briefly to turn the engine by a
few revs to distribute the oil over the inner
surface of the cylinder. Lastly, refit the spark
plugs without connecting the cable caps.

6. MAINTENANCE

Any attempt to tamper with the
emission control system may increase
emission levels above legal limits.
This definition includes the removal or
alteration of parts such as the intake system,
the fuel system and the exhaust system.
