3) The machine does not cut well:
- make sure that the cutting diameter is at least 250 mm; if it is less than this, replace the strings
with new ones.
- the belt may be slipping: in this case, the clutch wire register can be adjusted.
LONG-TERM STORAGE
If the machine is to be out of use for more than 30 days (models with petrol engine), drain the fuel
from the engine to prevent sticky deposits from forming in the fuel intake system or in vital parts of
carburettor. To avoid this procedure, it is possible to save fuel in storage up to 12 months by using
an appropriate fuel stabilizer. Add the such additive to the fuel in the tank or in the fuel container.
Run the engine for a while to let the stabilizer get into the fuel system. Caution: if the engine is fed
with petrol containing alcohol, drain the fuel tank and run the engine until there is no fuel left.
CAUTION!
- Disconnect the plug before performing any cleaning, maintenance or repair operation.
Always wear suitable clothing and working gloves.
- When the machine or part of it is lifted to carry out maintenance operations, always
remember to use suitable fixing tools such as holders and safety locks.
- When carrying out maintenance operations and/or when the machine is tilted without safety
locks or supports,
children could have easy access to it.
- Protect the environment: carefully dispose of used oils, petrol and any other pollutant
product!
- Effective maintenance and correct lubrication help to keep the machine fully efficient.
LUBRICATION
These operations must be carried out with the machine in horizontal position. NOTE: Always replace
the oil when the machine is warm to allow oil to drain completely.

ENGINE OIL

Always follow the instructions provided in the engine manual. It is generally recommended to check
the oil level every four working hours and to replace it every 50 working hours. Always use oil SAE 30.
Check the air filter after each use and clean the air filter element of grass residues (fig. 4). Replace the
air filter element if stained with oil and never wash it. Frequently check that the fins of both the
cylinder and cylinder head are not clogged. To do so remove the guards (always follow the
instructions in the engine manual).
HELPFUL HINTS FOR PROPER USE
1) Never leave the out in the rain.
2) Never strain the engine: if smoke comes out of the exhaust, the engine is toiling and must be
slowed down.
3) Frequently clean the air intake filter (fig. 4).
4) Remove any grass deposits form the engine cooling grid.
5) Always use square-section strings or strings with sharp edges.
6) If the engine strains, use shorter strings.
