For changing the oil and other maintenance operations on the motor (spark plugs, air filter, regulations), refer to the
motor manual provided.
•
NB: To unscrew the oil drain plug of the motor, disassemble the rear cover (picture 8 Ref. D).

Empty the gearbox of oil by unscrewing the oil drain plug, let the oil drain completely. After screwing back the cap
tightly, fill to the correct level with new oil recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not leave the exhausted oil in the environment.

Check periodically the oil level and fill in with new oil if necessary.

If the grass is not cut in a satisfactory manner despite the adjustments, the blade must be sharpened or replaced.
Follow the instructions on the E.S.M. maintenance sheet.

For any mechanical repair, especially during the warranty period, we recommend to go to a specialized repair shop of
the dealer.

For transporting convenience, the handles can be disassembled by means of the two knobs (picture 1 Ref. 10). The
same is recommended for the cutting bar, which is easily disassembled by removing the special split pin on the bar
support (picture 9 Ref. E). Always use gloves and apply the protective strip to the blade.

Regularly check that screws are tight. Pay special attention to the screws fastening the bar to its support (picture 4 Ref.
“E” – “H”).

Lubricate periodically the crown wheel for the wheel transmission (picture 9 Ref. “F”).

Lubricate regularly with the oilfeeder the bronze bushings (picture 9, Ref."G") on which the shaft turns.
