WARNING!
Before cleaning or doing maintenan-
ce work, take out the ignition key and read the relevant
instructions. Wear adequate clothing and work gloves
whenever your hands are at risk.
WARNING!
Never use the machine with worn or
damaged parts. Faulty or worn-out parts must always be
replaced and not repaired. Only use original spare parts:
The use or non-original and/or incorrectly fitted parts
will compromise the safety of the machine, may cause
accidents or personal injuries for which the
Manufacturer is under no circumstance liable or respon-
sible.
IMPORTANT
Never get rid of used oil, fuel or other
pollutants in unauthorised places!
WARNING!
Any adjustments or maintenance
operations not described in this manual must be carried
out by your Dealer or a specialized Service Centre. Both
have the necessary knowledge and equipment to ensure
that the work is done correctly without affecting the
safety of the machine.
You must go to a specialised Service Centre or contact
your Dealer if the following are malfunctioning:
– the brake;
– the engagement and stop of the blade;
– the drive engagement in forward and in reverse gears.
