HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
must be on firm ground with:
– the grass-catcher or stone-guard fitted;
– the operator seated;
– the engine running;
– the transmission in neutral;
– the blades engaged.
Connect a water hose to each of the pipe fit-
tings (1) one at a time and run water through
each one for a few minutes, with the blades
moving.
When washing, the cutting deck should be lowered right down. Take off the grass-
catcher, empty and rinse it, and then put it in a position where it can dry quickly.

Empty the fuel tank by disconnecting the tube situated
at the inlet of the fuel filter (1) and follow the instruc-
tions in the engine manual.
Carefully remove any dry grass

The battery must be kept in a cool and dry place. Before a long
storage period (more than 1 month), always charge the battery, and then recharge
