overcome an obstacle.
6.5.5 Suggestions for maintaining
a nice lawn
1. To keep a lawn green and soft with a good 
appearance, it should be cut regularly. A 
lawn can be composed of different types 
of grass. If the lawn is cut frequently, grass 
and roots grow more vigorously, forming 
a solid grassy bed. If the lawn is cut is 
less frequently, higher grass and weeds 
start growing (clover and daisies, etc.).
2. It is always better to cut the grass when dry.
3. The cutting means must be in good 
condition and well sharpened so that 
the grass is cut straight without a ragged 
edge that leads to yellowing at the ends.
4. The engine must run at full speed, both 
to ensure a sharp cut of the grass and
to get the necessary thrust to push the 
cuttings through the collector channel.
5. The frequency of mowing should be in 
relation to the rate of growth of the grass, 
which should not be left to grow too 
much between one cut and the next.
6. During hot and dry periods, the grass 
should be cut a little higher to prevent
the ground from drying out.
7. The best height of the grass on a well-
kept lawn is approx. 4-5 cm. and with one 
mowing, you do not need to remove more 
than a third of the total height. If the grass is
very tall, it should be cut twice in a twenty-
four hour period. The first time with the 
cutting means at maximum cutting height, 
possibly reducing the cutting width and the 
second cut at the height desired (fig. 20).
8. The appearance of the lawn will 
improve if you alternate the cutting 
in both directions (fig. 21).
9. If the discharge chute tends to get blocked 
with grass, you should reduce the forward 
speed as it may be too high for the condition 
of the grass. If the problem persists, the 
probable causes are either badly sharpened 
cutting means or deformed fins.
10. Be very careful when mowing near 
bushes or kerbs as these could distort 
the horizontal position of the cutting-
means assembly and damage its 
edge as well as the cutting means.
6.5.6 Emptying the grass catcher (for
rear collection models only)
NOTE The emptying of the grass catcher
can only be done with the cutting means
disengaged, otherwise the engine stops.
• Do not let the grass catcher become too full 
as this may block the collection channel. 
• When the grass catcher is full you 
will hear a warning sound:
1. disengage the cutting means (par. 
5.8) and the audible signal will stop;
2. shift the throttle control to minimum 
"tortoise" speed position (par.
3. stop moving forward and switch 
to neutral (par. 5.5; par. 5.7);
4. engage the parking brake;
5. stop the engine;
6. pull out the lever (fig. 22.A - if fitted) or 
grasp the rear handle (fig. 22.A1) and 
tip up the grass catcher to empty it;
7. close up the grass catcher so that it
hooks onto the pawl (fig. 22.B).
6.5.7 Cleaning the discharge chute (for
rear collection models only)
• Cutting very tall or wet grass, particularly 
at excessively high speed, can clog up 
the discharge chute. If it clogs, follow the 
instructions provided in chap. 7.4.2.
6.5.8 Mowing completed
When mowing has been completed:
1. disengage the cutting means;
2. decrease the engine's r.p.m.
3. drive back with the cutting-means 
assembly in its highest position:

6.6 STOP

To stop the machine:
1. shift the throttle lever to minimum 
"tortoise" speed position
To avoid backfire, leave the throttle in
the minimum "tortoise" speed position for
20 seconds before switching off the engine.
2. switch off the engine by turning 
the ignition key to Off;
3. with the engine turned off, close the 
fuel tap (fig. 23.A) (if provided).
4. remove the key from the ignition
IMPORTANT To keep the battery
charged, do not leave the ignition key
