When work is finished

When work has been completed, release the brake lever (1) 
and disconnect the spark plug cap (2). 
• Electric key ignition models
Remove the ignition key (3).
• Electric push-button ignition models
Press the tab (5) and remove the consent key (4).
WAIT UNTIL THE CUTTING MEANS STOPS before pro-
ceeding any further.

4. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Store the lawnmower in a dry place.
IMPORTANT Routine and accurate maintenance, at least
once a year, is essential in maintaining original machine safe-
ty and performance levels.
Adjustments or maintenance operations must only be per-
formed with the engine switched off and the spark plug ca-
ble disconnected.
1)    W ear  strong  protective  gloves  before  cleaning,  main-
taining or adjusting the machine.
2)    A ccurately  wash  the  machine  with  water  after  cutting; 
remove grass debris and mud accumulated in the chas-
sis  to  prevent  it  from  drying  and  causing  problems  the 
next time the lawnmower is used.
3)    P aint  on  internal  chassis  parts  may  start  to  flake  over 
time due to the abrasive action of cut grass; if this hap-
pens, promptly touch-up with rust-proof paint to prevent 
rusting that could corrode the metal.
4)    I f accessing the lower part is necessary, only tilt the ma-
chine on the side indicated in the engine manual, follow-
ing  the  relevant  instructions,  making  sure  that  the  ma-
chine is perfectly stable before performing any interven-
tions. 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 prevent damaging them and remove all 
traces of spilled petrol immediately. The warranty does 
not cover damage to plastic parts caused by petrol.
6)    T o  ensure  that  the  machine  will  function  prop-
erly  over  time,  it  is  highly  recommended  to 
change  the  engine  oil  regularly,  following  the  tim-
ing indicated in the engine's Instruction Manual.
The oil can be discharged at a specialised ser-
vicing  centre,  or  by  using  a  syringe  to  suc-
tion  the  oil  out  through  the  filler  spout,  bearing  in 
mind  you  may  need  to  repeat  the  operation  sever-
al  times  in  order  to  completely  empty  the  tank.
Remember to top-up with oil before using the ma-
chine again.

4.1 Cutting means maintenance

All  interventions  on  the  cutting  means  must  be  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 ix 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. 
4.2   Adjusting the converter cable (if fitted)
This adjustment is necessary when the lever (1) tends not 
to remain in the «
» position.
With the lever (1) in the «
juster (2) in the direction indicated by the arrow as needed 
to ensure the lever remains in position.
IMPORTANT The adjustment must be made when the
engine is off.
4.3 Battery recharging (where applicable)
• Electric key ignition models
To recharge a flat battery, connect it to the battery 
charger (1) following the instructions in the battery main-
tenance manual.
Do not connect the battery charger directly to the engine 
terminal. It is not possible to ignite the engine using the 
battery charger as a power source, as it may get dam-
aged.
If you do not use the lawnmower for a long period of 
time, disconnect the battery from the engine wiring, 
making sure the charge level is good.
• Electric push-button ignition models
Follow all the instructions provided in the engine 
Instruction Manual.

4.4 Cleaning the interior

To clean the internal parts of the lawnmower:
–    c onnect a water hose to its pipe fitting (1);
–    l ower the cutting height as far as possible;
–    a lways stand behind the lawnmower handle;
– start the engine.
5. ATTACHMENTS
WARNING!
For your safety, it is strictly prohibited
to fit any other attachment other than those included
in the following list, as they have been exclusively de-
signed for the model and type of machine you are using.
5.1 Mulching kit
(unless provided with the equipment)
It  chops  the  grass  cuttings  finely  and  leaves  them  on  the 
lawn, instead of collecting them in the grass catcher.
