STANDARDS OF USE

1. FINISH ASSEMBLY
NOTE – The machine can be supplied with some of the
components already fitted.
1.1
Move the upper part of the handle (1) already pre-
assembled, in the work position and block it in place using
the handles (2).
The washers (3) on the handles (2 ) must be mounted so
they keep the top part (1) firmly fixed to the two lower sec-
tions of the handle (4 and 5), without too much effort
required to tighten or release them.
Loosen the knobs (6) to ad just the height of the handle,
when the desired height has been reached, firmly tighten
the knobs (6) again.
Fix the electrical cable in place using the clamps ( 7 if fore-
seen), so that the height of the handle can be regulated
without excessively tightening the cable.
The correct position of the electric cable hook (8) is as
shown.
1.2a
For a cloth grass-catcher, insert the frame (1) into
the sack (2) and attach the plastic bars (3) using a screw-
driver, as shown in the drawing.
1.2b
For a plastic and cloth grass-catcher: With the
plastic part (11) upside-down, fasten the frame (12) to the
plastic part using the screws (13).
Insert the frame (12) into the sack (14) and attach the plas-
tic profile (15) with the help of a screwdriver, as shown in
the drawing.
Fit the edge of the cloth (16) right into the groove of the
plastic part (11), starting 5-7 mm from the ends.
Fit the handle (17) onto the top of the grass-catcher so that
it clicks into place.
2. DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS
2.1
The engine is controlled by a dual action switch to
prevent starting it accidentally. To start, press the button (2)
and pull the lever (1). The engine automatically stops when
the lever (1) is released.
2.2
The height is adjusted using the special lever (1).
MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT ONLY WHEN THE BLADE IS
STOPPED.
2.3
Your lawnmower features a telescopic system for
adjusting the handle so that you can position both the grip
and the controls at the desired height.
This is done by unscrewing the knobs (1) and pulling or
pushing the grip on the handle (2) until you reach the
desired height. Tighten the knobs (1) securely when you
have finished.
3. GRASS CUTTING
3.1
Lift the stone-guard and attach the rigid grass-
catcher (1) or cloth grass-catcher (2) correctly as shown in
the drawings.
3.2
Connect the extension cable correctly as indicated.
Start the engine by pressing the safety push-button (2) and
pulling the switchgear lever (1).
3.3
While cutting, ensure that the electric cable is
always behind you and on the area of grass already cut.
The lawn will look better if it is always cut to the same
height and in alternate directions.
3.4
When you have finishing mowing, release the lever
(1). FIRST disconnect the cable extension from the supply
socket (2) and THEN from the side of the lawnmower's
switchgear (3).
WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO STOP before carrying out any
type of work on the machine.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Should the motor stop during use through overheating,
wait about 5 minutes before re-starting.
4. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT – Regular, careful maintenance is essen-
tial for keeping the safety level and original perform-
ance of the machine unchanged in time.
Store the lawnmower in a dry place.
1) Wear strong working gloves during any cleaning, main-
tenance or adjustment operation on the machine.
2) Remove the grass debris after each cut and mud accu-
mulated inside the chassis to avoid their drying and thus
making the next start-up difficult.
3) Always ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear of
debris.
4.1
All operations on the blade should be carried out at
a specialized centre.
Note for specialized centres: Reassemble the blade (2) as
shown in the drawing and tighten the central screw (1)
using a torque wrench set to 16-20 Nm.
4.2
Do not use forced water and avoid wetting the
motor or the electrical components.
Do not use harsh products for cleaning the chassis.
Should you have any doubts or problems, do not hesitate
to contact your nearest Service Centre or your Dealer.
