OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Your lawnmower is equipped with a safety device (System 2)
which kills the engine and stops the cutting blade whenever the
operator lets go of the handle.
ATTENTION: Never leave the mower unattended.
When the engine is already warm, it is not necessary to press the
pump in order to start the engine.
1. Place your mower on the lawn and, if possible, cut on a level surface.
2. Check the height of the grass and, then, set the cutting height.
3. Adjust with the centralized cutting height lever, the engine must be
OFF.
a) You can choose from 6 available positions (Fig. 2-5).
b) Grip the handle.
c) Press the release button and lift or lower the body to select the cut-
ting height.
d) This simple operation adjusts the cutting height.
4. Check that the high tension wire is on the spark plug.
5. Press the pump three times to enrichen the carburation (Fig. 1-9).
6. Squeeze the System 2 lever (Fig. 1-2) towards the handle, slowly pull
starter handle (Fig. 1-3) until cord is stretched tight and then pull hard
to start the engine.
7. Squeeze the traction lever (Fig. 1-1) towards the handles and the
mower will start moving forward.
8. To stop the traction or to pull the mower backwards, let go of the
traction lever and slightly push the mower forward to disengage the
traction.
9. To stop the engne, let go of the System 2 lever.
The Mulching System
In addition to working with the traditional bagging system, you can
use your lawn mower with the mulching system.
With this system, the blade chops up the cut grass finely and spreads
it on the lawn uniformly with no need to collect it.
Attention: Always stop the engine before performing the following
operation. For an easier installation/removal of the plug, it is rec-
ommended to clean the underside of the mower deck from any
grass clippings before performing this operation (please refer to the
corresponding section of this manual).
Installation
1. Remove the grassbag from the mower.
2. Firmly grab the plug rear handle with one hand as indicated.
3. With the other hand lift the rear chute door of the mower.
4. Insert the front edge of the plug into the mower discharge tunnel.
5. When the plug is nearly completely inserted, press the hook-
ing lever towards the ground and push the plug into the mower
until the reference tabs contact the deck.
NOTE: Familiarise yourself with the installation and the removal of
the Mulching plug to make sure this is always correctly used. An
improper installation can in fact put the plug into contact with the
cutting blade.
Removal
1. Lift the rear chute door with one hand.
2. Firmly grab the plug rear handle with the other hand.
3. In the meantime, press the hooking lever towards the ground.
4. Gently pull the plug out of the discharge tunnel.
5. When the first centimeter of the plug is protruding from the deck,
keep on pulling while lifting it upwards until it is completely removed.
DURING OPERATION
Keep people and animals away from the cutting area (Fig. 3).
Before operation, clear the cutting area of all foreign objects (Fig. 3).
Operate only with either bag or protections in position (Fig. 3).
Keep hands and feet away from the chute door and the blades under
the deck (Fig. 4).
The grass clippings may be collected in the grassbag or discharged
on the lawn (Mulching).
The grassbag material is capable of stopping most forms of debris
(stones, gravel, etc.) which could be thrown out by the blade. lt is
essential that the grassbag is checked periodically for damage or
wear, in which case it should be replaced Immediately with an origi-
nal IBEA grassbag.
While operating with your lawnmower, it may happen that the cutting
blade collides with a solid object with the consequent breakage of blade
bushing pins (fig. 5). The mower will then start to vibrate abnormally.
In order to avoid severe damages to your lawnmower, immediately
stop the engine when the above mentioned situation takes place.
Wait until the moving parts have completely stopped, disconnect the
high tension wire from the spark plug and replace the blade bushing.
ATTENTION: Never service or repair the mower until the blade and
the engine have stopped and you have disconnected the high ten-
sion wire from the spark plug.
Crankcase oil change
1. Place the mower on a flat surface.
2. Start the engine and let it run for about a minute so that oil flows
better. Turn off engine.
3. Disconnect the high tension wire from the spark plug.
4. Remove the grassbag.
5. Drain the fuel tank in order to avoid possible spillage and accidents
(see "Drainage of the fuel tank").
6. Tip mower on its right side and unscrew the drainage plug under
the engine. Empty the crankcase, allowing the oil to flow into a suita-
ble tray.
7. When the crankcase is completely empty, screw the drainage pulg
back on again and fill the crankcase with clean SAE 30 oil (0,65 l).
NOTE: Please refer to local regulations for correct disposal of burnt
engine oil.
Drainage of the fuel tank
1. Stop the engine and disconnect the high tension wire from spark
plug.
2. Unscrew the fuel tank cap.
3. Using a siphon, pump the petrol from the tank into a suitable con-
tainer.
Servicing the air filter
Clean the air filter every 25 hours. Replace it every season. (See engi-
ne manual for further information).
Blade Inspection
The frequency of blade inspection depends on the working conditions.
1. Make sure that the engine is not running and the high wire is dis-
connected from the spark plug.
2. Drain petrol from the fuel tank (see "Drainage of the fuel tank").
3. Tip mower on its right side. Avoid rotating the blade when the
mower is tipped because starting problems may result.
4. Carefully examine the blade:
