5.4.8 Cleaning the machine
After each use, clean the machine exterior.
Clean the plastic parts of the body with a damp 
sponge using water and detergent, taking care 
not to wet the engine, the electrical parts or the 
electronic circuit board located under the dash-
board.
IMPORTANT Never use hose-nozzles or
harsh detergents for cleaning the body and en-
gine!
WARNING!
Do not let debris and dried
grass accumulate in the upper part of the
cutting-means assembly in order to maintain
maximum machine efficiency and safety
levels.
After each use, clean the cutting-means as-
sembly thoroughly to remove any grass remains 
or debris.
WARNING!
Wear eye protection and
keep people or animals away from the sur-
rounding area when cleaning the cutting-
means assembly.
a) When washing the inside of the cutting-
means assembly and the collector channel, the 
machine must be on firm ground with:
–  the side discharge chute fitted;
–    t he operator seated;
–    t he cutting-means assembly in position «1»;
–    t he engine running;
–    t he transmission in neutral;
–    t he cutting means engaged.
Connect a water hose to each of the pipe fittings 
(1) one at a time and run water through each one 
for a few minutes, with the cutting means mov-
ing (Fig. 5.9)
IMPORTANT In order not to compromise the
efficiency of the electromagnetic clutch:
– do not let the clutch come into contact with oil;
– do not spray pressurised water directly on the
clutch unit;
– do not clean the clutch with petrol.
b) To clean the upper part of the cutting-
means assembly:
–    l ower the cutting-means assembly completely 
(position «1»);
–    b low a jet of compressed air through the right 
and left guard openings. Fig. 5.10)
5.4.9 Storage and inactivity
for long periods
If you intend not to use the machine for a long 
period (more than 1 month), disconnect the 
battery cables and follow the instructions in the 
engine instruction manual.
Fig. 5.11) Empty the fuel tank by disconnecting 
the tube (1) situated at the inlet of the fuel filter 
(2), and collect the fuel in a suitable container.
Reconnect the tube (1) making sure you position 
the clamp properly (3).
Put the machine away in a dry, sheltered place 
and preferably covered with a cloth (see  8.5).
IMPORTANT The battery must be kept in a
cool and dry place. Before a long storage period
(more than 1 month), always charge the bat-
tery, and then recharge before using again (see
6.2.3).
The next time the machine is used, check that 
there are no fuel leaks from the tubes, fuel stop-
cock or carburettor.
5.4.10 Circuit board protection fuse
The electronic circuit board is fitted with a fuse 
which breaks the circuit if there is a fault or short 
circuit on the electrical system. 
The intervention of the fuse causes the engine
to stop; before replacing the fuse (see 6.3.5) try 
to find and remove the cause of the fault to pre-
vent it from happening again.
5.5 USING ON SLOPES (Fig. 5.12)
Observe the indicated limits (max 10° - 17).
WARNING!
forward movement on sloping ground to
prevent the risk of tipping up. Reduce the
forward speed before going on a slope, par-
ticularly downhill.
DANGER!
Never switch to reverse gear
to decrease speed when going downhill: this
could cause loss of control of the machine,
especially on slippery ground.
Mechanical transmission
DANGER!
slopes in neutral or with the clutch out!
Always shift into a low gear before leav-
ing the machine at a standstill and unat-
tended.

Take care when beginning
Never ride the machine on
