7.3.1 Cleaning the machine
• Always make sure the air intakes are free of debris.
• Do not spray water onto the motor and electrical
components and prevent them from getting wet (fig. 18).
• Do not use aggressive liquids to clean the chassis.
• To reduce fire hazards, keep the lawnmower
and in particular, the motor free of grass,
leaves or excessive grease.
7.3.2 Cleaning the cutting-means assembly
Remove grass debris and mud accumulated in
the chassis to prevent it from drying and causing
problems the next time the lawnmower is used.
Tilt the machine laterally and make sure that
it is stable before starting any work.
Paint on internal chassis parts may come off over
time due to the abrasive action of cut grass; if this
happens, promptly touch-up paint with rust-proof paint
to prevent rusting that could corrode the metal.
7.3.3 Cleaning the grass-catcher
1. Empty the grass catcher;
2. shake it to remove grass cuttings and soil residue;
3. wash and rinse it, then place it
where it can dry quickly.
7.4 NUTS AND BOLTS
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
the equipment is in safe working condition.
8. OCCASIONAL MAINTENANCE
Before conducting any inspections,
cleaning or maintenance/adjustment
interventions on the machine:
• stop the machine;
• remove the safety key, (never leave the
key in the ignition or within reach of
children or unauthorised persons);
• make sure that all moving parts have
come to a complete stop;
• allow the motor to cool before
storing in an enclosed space.
• read the relevant instructions;
• Use suitable clothing, protective
gloves and goggles.
8.1 CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
The filtering element must always be kept perfectly
clean and must be replaced if it is broken or damaged.
Proceed as follows:
1. clean around the air filter grid;
2. unscrew the screw (fig. 19.B) to
remove the grid (fig. 19.A);
3. remove the filtering element (fig. 20.C);
4. blow on the filter to remove dust and debris. If the
filter is still dirty, clean the filtering element with
water and dry it with a clean cloth (fig. 20.C) .
IMPORTANT Do not use petrol, detergents or
any other products to clean the filtering element.
5. clean the outside of the filter housing
eliminating dust, debris or dirt;
6. refit the filtering element in its housing
(making sure it is perfectly dry) (fig. 20.A);
7. refit the grid (fig. 19.A) and tighten in
place with the screw (fig. 19.B).
8.2 CUTTING MEANS
A badly sharpened cutting means pulls at the
grass and causes the lawn to turn yellow.
Do not touch the cutting means until
the key has been removed and the cutting
means is completely stationary.
All work on the cutting means (disassembly,
sharpening, balancing, repairing, reassembly
and/or replacing) are demanding jobs that
require special skills as well as special
tools. For safety reasons, these jobs are
best carried out at a Specialised Centre.
Make sure damaged, mis-shapen or worn
cutting-means are replaced, together with its
own screws in place to preserve balance.
IMPORTANT Always use original cutting means
bearing the code indicated in the "Technical Data".
Given product evolution, the cutting means
listed in the "Technical Data" table may be
replaced in time with others having similar
interchangeable and operating safety features.
