etc.) that may cause the machine to slide sideways or make
you lose control of it.
8) The machine must not be used on slopes of over 20°,
regardless of the mowing direction.
9) Be extremely careful when pulling the lawnmower toward
you. Look behind you to make sure there are no obstacles
before and during operations in reverse gear.
10) Immobilise the cutting means if the lawnmower must be
inclined for transport, when moving over surfaces other than
grass and when the lawnmower is transported from or to an
area that must be cut.
11) Pay attention to traffic when using the machine near
roads.
12) Never operate the machine with damaged guards or
without the grass catcher, side discharge guards or rear
discharge guards.
13) Be very careful near ravines, ditches or embankments.
14) Ignite the engine carefully following the instructions,
keeping feet away from the cutting means.
15) Do not incline the lawnmower during ignition. Ignite the
machine on a flat surface without obstacles or high grass.
16) Never place your hands and feet near or under rotating
parts. Keep away from the discharge opening.
17) Do not lift or transport the lawnmower when the engine
is running.
18) Do not tamper with or disable safety systems.
19) Do not change the engine settings or over-rev the en-
gine.
20) Do not touch the engine parts as they get very hot when
running. Danger of burns.
21) On power-driven models, disengage the wheel drive
before igniting the engine.
22) Use manufacturer-recommended attachments only.
23) Don't use the machine if the attachments/tools are not
installed in their seats.
24) Disengage the cutting means, switch off the engine and
unplug the spark plug cable (making sure that all moving
parts are stationary):
– When transporting the machine;
– Whenever you leave the machine unattended; also re-
move the key on models with electric ignition systems;
– Before clearing blockages or unclogging the discharge
chute;
– Before checking, cleaning or working on the machine;
– After striking a foreign object. Inspect the machine for
damage and make repairs before using it again.
25) Disengage the cutting means and switch off the engine:
– Before refuelling;
– Whenever you remove or reattach the grass catcher;
– Whenever you remove or reattach the side discharge
chute;
– Before adjusting the cutting height, if this operation can
not be performed from the driving seat.
26) When working, always keep a safe distance from the
rotary cutting means, given by the length of the handle.
27) Reduce the throttle setting before stopping the engine.
Shut off the fuel supply on completing the work, following the
instructions in the engine manual.
28) WARNING – If something breaks or an accident occurs
whilst working, turn off the engine immediately and move
the machine away to prevent further damage; if an accident
occurs with injuries or third parties are injured, carry out the
first aid measures most suitable for the situation immediately
and contact the medical authorities for any necessary health
care. Carefully remove any debris that might cause damage
or harm persons or animals should it not be seen.
29) WARNING – The noise and vibration levels shown in
these instructions are the maximum levels for use of the
machine. The use of an unbalanced cutting means, the ex-
cessive speed of movement, or the absence of maintenance
have a significant influence on noise emissions and vibra-
tions. Consequently, it is necessary to take preventive steps
to eliminate possible damage due to high levels of noise and
stress from vibration. Maintain the machine well, wear ear
protection devices, and take breaks while working.
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) WARNING! – Before cleaning or doing maintenance
work, disconnect the spark plug cable and read the relevant
instructions. Wear proper clothing and protective gloves
whenever your hands are at risk.
2) WARNING! – Never use the machine with worn or
damaged parts. Faulty or worn-out parts must always be
replaced and not repaired. Only use original spare parts:
The use of non-original and/or incorrectly fitted parts will
jeopardize the safety of the machine, may cause accidents
or personal injuries for which the Manufacturer is under no
circumstance liable or responsible.
3) Any adjustments or maintenance operations not de-
scribed in this manual must be carried out by your Dealer or
a specialized Service Centre with the necessary knowledge
and equipment to ensure that the work is done correctly
maintaining the machine's original safety level. Any opera-
tions performed in unauthorized centres or by unqualified
persons will totally invalidate the Warranty and all obligations
and responsibilities of the Manufacturer.
4) After each use, disconnect the spark plug cable and
check for damage.
5) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the ma-
chine is in safe working condition. Routine maintenance is
essential for safety and for maintaining a high performance
level.
6) Check that the cutting means screws are properly tight-
ened on a regular basis.
7) Wear work gloves when handling, disassembling and
reassembling all cutting means.
8) Keep the cutting means well balanced during sharpening.
All work on the cutting means (disassembly, sharpening,
balancing, reassembly and/or replacing) are demanding
jobs that require special skills as well as special tools. For
safety reasons, these jobs are best carried out at a special-
ised centre.
9) Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent
entrapment of the fingers between moving parts of the cut-
ting means and fixed parts of the machine.
10) Do not touch the cutting means until the spark plug cable
has been disconnected and the cutting means is completely
stationary. When servicing the cutting means, bear in mind
that, even though the spark plug cable is disconnected, the
cutting means can still move.
11) Check the side discharge guard, the rear discharge
guard and the grass catcher frequently. Replace them if
they are damaged.
12) Replace any instruction or warning message stickers,
if damaged.
13) Store the machine out of the reach of children.
14) Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank in an area
where the fuel vapours could reach an open flame, a spark
or a strong heat source.
15) Allow the engine to cool down before storing in any
enclosure.
16) To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine, silencer, battery
compartment and petrol storage area free of grass, leaves,
or excessive grease. Always empty the grass catcher and
do not leave containers full of cut grass inside storage areas.
17) To reduce fire hazards, check there are no oil and/or fuel
leaks on a regular basis.
18) If the fuel tank has to be emptied, this should be done
outdoors once the engine has cooled down.
E) TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
1) Whenever the machine is to be handled, lifted, trans-
ported or tilted you must:
– Wear sturdy work gloves;
– Grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip,
taking into account the weight and relative distribution
of the same
– Use an appropriate number of people for the weight of
the machine and the characteristics of the vehicle or the
place where it must be placed or collected
– Make sure that machine movements do not cause petrol
leaks, damage or injuries.
2) During transport, fasten the machine securely with
cables or chains.
