rinse immediately with water. The warranty does not cover for
damage to plastic parts of the bodywork or the engine caused by
petrol.
5.3.3 Tyre pressure
Having the correct tyre pressure is essential for keeping the cutting
deck horizontal and thus achieving uniform mowing.
Unscrew the valve caps and connect a compressed air line with
a gauge to the valves and adjust the pressure to the indicated
values.
5.3.4 Fitting the protection at the exit
(grass-catcher or stone-guard)
Never use the machine
without having fitted the
exit protection!
Lift the removable cover (1)
and hook on the grass-
catcher by inserting the two
pivots (2) into the slots on the
two supports (3).

If you decide to mow without the
grass-catcher, you can mount an op-
tional stone-guard kit (4). This has
to be attached to the rear plate as in-
dicated in the instructions.
5.3.5 Checking machine safety and efficiency
1. Check that the safety devices function as described
(
5.2).
2. Check that the brake is in perfect working order.
3. Do not start mowing if the blade vibrates or if you are unsure
whether they are sharp enough. Always remember that:
– A badly sharpened blade pulls at the grass and causes the lawn
to turn yellow.
– A loose blade causes unwanted vibrations and can be danger-
ous.
Do not use the machine if you are un-
sure whether it is working safely or efficiently. If in doubt,
contact your Dealer immediately to make the necessary
checks and repairs.
