ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
ALTITUDE
If the engine is being used in altitudes at or above 1500m, adjustments to the carburettor may be necessary. This is
because there is less oxygen in the air as altitude increases, which effectively "enriches" the ratio of fuel to the air
into the engine and the higher the altitude, the richer the fuel mixture becomes. If the engine is being permanently
operated at high altitude, it is recommended to have an authorized technical centre make the necessary carburettor
adjustments. If the engine is used occasionally at altitude (not at extreme altitudes) no adjustments should be required,
however, a slight decrease in engine performance can be expected.
TEMPERATURE
If the engine is being used in extremely cold or hot environments, such as in a desert or snow conditions, it may
be necessary to change the type of engine oil to adapt to ambient temperatures. Oil thickens as the temperature
decreases and thins as temperature increases, which means that if the engine oil is not suitable for the temperature,
its ability to properly lubricate the engine may be affected. Use the following table to determine the correct engine oil:
CUTTING LAWN TIPS
• The equipment is designed for domestic use only.
• Always wear appropriate footwear such as boots, long trousers whenever you use the product. DO NOT wear open
footwear or shorts.
• Check the work area before mowing the lawn and remove any objects such as stones, etc. that may be thrown by
the mower or that may damage it.
• If the machine hits an object during cutting or if an object is caught in the mower, stop the machine immediately.
• Allow the machine to come to a complete stop and cool down before inspecting the machine or before removing
any object that may get caught in the mower.
• If the machine is damaged, have it inspected or repaired by the Official Technical Service before using it again.
• If you notice that the machine vibrates excessively during operation, it is an indication that the machine is damaged
or worn and we recommend that you take it to an authorized technical centre for inspection before using it again.
• Avoid cutting wet grass. Wet grass clippings do not collect well and have a tendency to stick to the underside of
the mower deck.
• Avoid cutting very tall grass. If the grass is very tall, mow in several passes, each time reducing the cutting height.
• Do not use the equipment for other purposes for which it has not been designed, such as shredding leaves or
wood chipping.
• Avoid working on overly steep slopes when mowing, and when mowing on an incline, mow across the face of the
incline, and not up and down.
• Be careful when reversing or when pulling the equipment towards you and when changing direction.
• Stop the engine if the equipment has to be tilted or moved over non-grass surfaces.
• Be aware that cutting more than one third of the total height of the grass may affect the health of the grass, and
that weeds can spread more easily in extremely short grass. A healthier lawn is achieved by mowing the lawn
regularly and not cutting the grass back excessively.
• When mowing the lawn, move the mower through the lawn at a sensible rate so as not to strain the machine, thus
maintaining its efficiency and to achieve the best cutting results.
