4. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
I
MPORTANT – Regular, careful
maintenance is essential for keeping the
safety level and original performance of
the machine unchanged in time. Store
the lawnmower in a dry place.
1)
Wear strong working gloves during any
cleaning, maintenance or adjustment
operation on the machine.
2)
Carefully clean the machines with
water after each cut; remove the grass
debris and mud accumulated insidethe
chassis to avoid their drying and thus
making the next start-up difficult.
3)
The paintwork on the inside of the
chassis may peel off in time due to the
abrasive action of the cut grass; in this
case, intervene promptly by touching up
the paintwork using a rustproof
paint to prevent the formation of rust that
would lead to corrosion of the metal.
4)
Should it be necessary to access the
lower part, only tilt the machine from by
lowering the handles to the ground and
raising the front of the mower. DO NOT
tilt the mower onto its side.
5)
Do not drip petrol onto the plastic
parts of the motor or the machine to
prevent damaging them and remove all
traces of spilt petrol immediately. The
warranty does not cover damage to
plastic parts caused by petrol.
4.1
All operations on the blade should be
carried out at a specialized centre. Note
for specialized centres: Reassemble the
blade (2) as shown in the drawing and
tighten the central screw (1) using a
torque wrench set to 35-40 Nm.
4.2
In power-driven models:
• adjust the tension of the belt with the
nut (1) to get the right measurement
(6 mm).
• turn the adjusting nut (2) so that the
wire (3) is slightly loose and the lever
(4) is idle.
4.3
To recharge a flat battery, connect to
the battery charger (1) following the
instructions in the battery maintenance
handbook. Do not connect the battery
charger directly to the engine terminal. It
is not possible to start theengine using
the battery charger as a power source, as
it may get damaged. If the machine is to
remain inactive for a long period,
disconnectthe battery leads after making
sure that the battery is fully charged.
Should you have any doubts or problems,
do not hesitate to contact your nearest
Service Centre or your Dealer.
