engine and turn the fuel off when you have finished
mowing, following the instructions in the engine
handbook.
21) When mowing, always keep to a safe distance
from the rotating blade. This distance is the length
of the handle.
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
the equipment is in safe working condition. Regular
maintenance is essential for safety and perform-
ance.
2) Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank
inside a building where vapour may reach a flame
or a spark or a source of extreme heat.
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in an
enclosed space.
4) To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,
exhaust silencer, battery compartment and fuel
storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive
grease. Do not leave containers with grass cut-
tings in rooms.
5) Check the stone-guard and grass-catcher fre-
quently for wear and deterioration.
6) If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be
done outdoors and when the engine is cool.
7) Wear strong work gloves when removing and re-
assembling the blade.
8) Keep the blade balanced during sharpening.
All operations on the blade (dismantling, sharpen-
ing, balancing, remounting and/or replacing)
require a certain familiarity and special tools. For
safety reasons, these jobs are best carried out at a
specialized centre.
9) For reasons of safety, do not use the equip-
ment with worn or damaged parts. Parts are to
be replaced and not repaired. Use genuine
spare parts (blades should always bear the
symbol ). Parts that are not of the same qual-
ity can damage the equipment and be danger-
ous for your safety.
E) TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
1) Whenever the machine is to be handled, raised,
transported or tilted you must:
– wear strong working gloves;
– grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe
grip, taking account of the weight and its distribu-
tion.
– use an appropriate number of people for the
weight of the machine and the characteristics of
the vehicle or the place where it has to be placed
or collected.

THE ENVIRONMENT
In order to protect the environment, we recom-
mend that the following points should be given
special consideration:
• Always use pure unleaded petrol.
• Always use a funnel and/or a petrol can with a
level control to avoid spillage when refilling the
fuel tank.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely.
• Do not overfill with engine and/or transmission
oil.
• When changing the oil, ensure that all the used
oil is collected. Avoid spillage. Take the used oil
to a recycling unit.
• Do not dispose of used oil filter in a rubbish bin.
Take it to a recycming unit.
• Do not dispose of used lead-acid batteries in a
rubbish bin. Take them to a battery collection
point for recycling (applies to battery-powered
machines and machines with battery start).
• Replace the silencer if faulty. When carrying out
repairs, always use original spare parts.
• If the machines was originally equipped with a
catalyser which is now faulty, a new one must
be fitted when the silencer is replaced.
• Always seek professional help when the carbu-
rettor requires adjustment.
• Clean the air filter according to the directions.
• When, after many years of service, your
machine needs to be replaced or is no longer
required, we recommended that the machine is
returned to your distributor for recycling.
