A) Qualification of operators
All maintenance, disassembly and repairs must be
car ried out by expert mechanics who are familiar with
all the accident prevention and safety regulations after
reading through the procedures in this ma nual.
B) Safety measures
All the machines are manufactured in accordance with
the strict European safety regulations in force.
To maintain these levels of safety in the longer term,
the Service Centres should work to this end by ma k-
ing appropriate checks every time there is the chan ce
to do so.
Particularly, every time there is work done on the ma-
chine the Service Centre should:
1) check:
– that safety microswitches are working correc­
tly;
– that the casings and protection covers have not
been removed;
– that the labels with instructions or provisions
have not been removed or have become illeg­
ible (these form an integral part of the safety
system).
2) they should also:
– restore to proper working order any safety de­
vi ces which have been manipulated or re mo­
ved;
– reattach inefficient, damaged or missing ca­
sings and protection covers;
– replace illegible labels;
– not endorse any repair or modification on
the machine or the engine which results in a
chan ge in performance or use that is incorrect
or diff erent from the purpose for which it was
de si gned and approved;
– warn the Customer that the failure to comply
with the above points results in the automatic
annulment of the Guarantee and the Ma nu fac­
turer declines all responsibility, as also shown
in chapter 1 of the Instruction Booklet.
C) Precautions during servicing
The operations described in this manual do not en tail
particularly hazardous situations besides the nor mal
hazard related to mechanical operations and that can
be avoided by taking the necessary ca re and attention
normally required for this type of work.
As well as following the usual accident preven­
tion re gulations that apply to most repair shops,
we re commend you:
– disconnect the ignition key (
in electric start
models) and the spark plug cap before starting
any work on the machine;
– protect hands with suitable working gloves,
especially when working near the cutting unit;
– check that you do not cause accidental petrol
leaks or other losses;
– do not smoke when working on the tank or
when handling petrol;
– do not inhale oil or petrol fumes;
– clean up all traces of spilt petrol immediately;
– test the engine in a well­ventilated environment
or where there are adequate exhaust fu me ex­
traction systems;
– do not pollute the environment with oil, petrol
or other waste and dispose of all waste in ac­
cor dance with the laws in force;
– ensure that other persons cannot accidentally
carry out actions that may physically endanger
those working on the machine.
D) Necessary equipment
All the operations can be carried out with the tools
normally used in a good garage.
Some operations require special equipment and tools.
