3.1d Preparation for mowing and side discharge of
grass (where applicable)
–    L ift the rear discharge guard (1) and fit the chute cap (5) 
in the discharge opening, keeping it slightly tilted to the 
right. Fasten it by fitting the two pins (6) into the holes pro-
vided until the fastener tooth (7) clicks into place.
–    P ush  the  safety  lever  (3)  slightly  and  lift  the  side  dis-
charge guard (4).
–    I nsert the side discharge chute (8) as shown in the figure.
–    C lose  the  side  discharge  guard  (4)  so  that  the  side  dis-
charge chute (8) is locked in place.
To remove the side discharge chute:
–    P ush  the  safety  lever  (3)  slightly  and  lift  the  side  dis-
charge guard (4).
– Release the side discharge chute (8).
To remove the chute flap:
– Lift the rear discharge guard (1).
– Push in the middle to release the tooth (7).

3.2 Engine ignition

3.2a
• Manual ignition models ("I")
Pull  the  cutting  means  brake  lever  (1)  against  the  handle 
and firmly tug the knob on the ignition cable (2). 
3.2b
• Electric push-button ignition models ("III - "IV" -
"V")
–  Insert the supplied battery in the relative engine compart-
ment (4, "III - "IV"); (follow the instructions provided in the 
engine manual).
A motor with non-removable built-in battery is included 
on some models ("V").
–  Insert the key as far as possible (if fitted) (6).
–  Pull  the  engine  cutting  means  brake  lever  towards  the 
handle (1).
In "V" motors, the battery charge indicator (5) turns on 
or flashes for 5 seconds to indicate: 
Indicator on = the battery is charged
Indicator flashing = the battery is low
Indicator off = the battery is dead Follow the in-
structions in the motor instruction manual for
emergency  charging  using  the  external  USB 
charging device (not supplied with the machine).
NOTE Keep pulling the engine / cutting means brake or
the engine will stop.
–  Press and hold the starter button until the engine switch-
es on (7).
The battery charge status indicator (5) turns off in "V" 
motors.
Follow the instructions in the engine manual for further 
details on the engine.

3.3 Mowing the lawn

The  appearance  of  the  lawn  will  improve  if  you  alternate 
cutting in both directions at the same height.
When the grass catcher is too full, grass collection is no
longer efficient and the sound of the lawnmower changes.
To remove and empty the grass catcher, 
–    s top the engine and wait for the cutting means to stop;
– lift the rear discharge guard, grasp the handle and re-
move the grass catcher keeping it in an erect position.
• For mulching or rear grass discharge: always  avoid 
removing  a  large  quantity  of  grass.  Never  cut  more 
than one third of the total grass height per single pass!
Regulate the forward speed according to the lawn condi-
tions and the amount of grass removed.
• For side discharge (if applicable): it is best to mow in 
a pattern where cut grass is not discharged on the grass 
still to be cut.
• For a grass catcher with contents indicator device
(if applicable): while  working  with  the  cutting  means 
running, the indicator remains raised for as long as the
grass catcher is able to hold cut grass; when it lowers, it 
means that the grass catcher is full and must be emptied.
Lawn care recommendations
Each  type  of  grass  has  different  characteristics  and  may 
thus  require  different  ways  of  caring  for  the  lawn;  always 
read the instructions on seed boxes for mowing height for 
the growing conditions in the work area.
Keep in mind that most grass is made up of a stem and one
or more leaves. If leaves are fully cut, the lawn is damaged 
and growth is more difficult.
The following indications generally apply:
–    c utting  too  low  tears  and  uproots  the  grass,  giving  it  a 
"spotted" appearance;
– in the summer, cutting must be higher to prevent the
ground from drying;
–    d o not cut wet grass; this could reduce cutting means ef-
ficiency due to sticky grass and tear the lawn.
–    f or particularly high grass, initially mow at the maximum 
height allowed by the machine then mow again after two 
or three days.

When work is finished

When work has been completed, release the brake lever (1) 
and disconnect the spark plug cap (2). 
• Electric push-button ignition models
Press the tab (5) and remove the consent key (4).
WAIT UNTIL THE CUTTING MEANS STOPS before pro-
ceeding any further.

4. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Store the lawnmower in a dry place.
IMPORTANT Routine and accurate maintenance, at least
once a year, is essential in maintaining original machine safe-
ty and performance levels.
Adjustments or maintenance operations must only be per-
formed with the engine switched off and the spark plug ca-
ble disconnected.
1) Wear strong protective gloves before cleaning, main-
taining or adjusting the machine.
2)    A ccurately  wash  the  machine  with  water  after  cutting; 
remove grass debris and mud accumulated in the chas-
sis  to  prevent  it  from  drying  and  causing  problems  the 
next time the lawnmower is used.
3)    P aint  on  internal  chassis  parts  may  start  to  flake  over
