Keep your hands away
from the silencer and surrounding areas
that can become extremely hot. With the
engine running, do not get loose-fitting
clothing (ties, scarves, etc.) or hair closer to
the top part of the engine.
IMPORTANT
Do not operate on over 20°
inclines to prevent malfunctioning of the
engine.

STOPPING
THE
MOWING
a) Move the throttle (1) to "SLOW".
b) Release the brake lever (2) on the lawnmow-
er to stop the engine. In electrically started

STOPPING THE ENGINE AFTER MOW-
ING
a) Move the throttle (1) to "SLOW".
b) Release the brake lever (2) on the lawnmow-
er to stop the engine. In the case of electri-
cally started engines, move the throttle to

"OFF"
c) When the engine is cold, disconnect the
spark plug and remove the key (3) (if present).

DURING
b)
Use an airgun (max 6 bar) making sure that no
grass debris and dust fall inside the engine.
c) Store the lawnmower (and the engine) in a dry
place, sheltered from severe weather condi-
tions and sufficiently ventilated. Storage in
excessively cold environments may make
starting difficult.
5.8
LONG STORAGE (over 30 days)
In case the engine has to be stored for a long
time (for example at the end of the season), a
few precautions are needed to help the future
start-up.
a) Empty the tank of fuel to prevent deposits
forming inside.
b) Remove the spark plug and pour inside the
spark plug hole about 3 cl of clean engine oil.
Close the hole with a cloth, then pull, slowly
and carefully, the starting rope so that, with a
few engine revolutions, the oil will be distrib-
uted on the cylinder inner walls. Reinstall the
spark plug without connecting the cable cap..
