INSTALLATION
!
!
WARNING! The manufacturer is not liable
for any direct and/or indirect damage caused
by incorrect installation.
TRANSPORT
Clean the machine and always use its packaging;
this will protect it from impact, dust and humidity
which can compromise normal operation.
During transportation, disconnect the spark plug
cap, wait for it to cool down and completely
empty the fuel tank.
With blade cutting elements, remove the blade
and store it in protective packaging.
If transporting on a vehicle, secure the machine
using straps in order to prevent sudden move-
ments due to braking, driving around corners,
driving over bumps, etc.
HANDLING
Carrying the machine over a non-grassy area
must always be done with the engine off. Lift
the machine by grabbing the backpack and
the handle 12, carry it by your side, facing
downwards and away from your body.
Keep it raised off the ground and do not let the
cutting element drag on the ground. Due to its
considerable length, make sure you do not hit
feet, legs, persons or objects.
After use, set the machine down carefully wi-
thout dropping it, with the fuel tank cap facing
upwards; avoid setting the machine down on
sloped inclines or on vehicles as it could roll off
and fall. Never set the disc blade on the ground,
to prevent it from bending until it becomes per-
manently deformed, or being damaged.
SWITCHING ON
When choosing where to use the machine, the
following should be considered:
- That there is no bad weather, such as rain,
storms.
- That the working area is sufficiently large and
free from obstacles.
- That the area is well lit with natural or artificial
light.
- That the turf is suitable for mowing and the
grass is not excessively tall, that it is not wet,
and that it is free of rocks, protruding tree roots,
branches, pipes, electric cables, objects, etc.
that would damage the machine and endanger
the user.
- That unauthorised personnel, children and pets
are not present.

Take the machine and its components out and
visually ensure that they are in perfect condition.
Proceed in the following order carefully observing
Fig. A-C-D-E
and the relative paragraphs:
1.Assembly of the motor unit to the flexible
coupling and transmission auction.
2.Connect the accelerator cable to the carburettor;
if already assembled, continue on to the next step.
3.Connect the electrical cables between the con-
trol unit and the engine; if already assembled,
continue on to the next step.
4.Assemble the front hand grip.
5.Assemble the cutting area and line cutter
guards.
6.Install the trimmer line spool (or cutting blade,
where permitted) and relative components.
Installing the sheath with the flexible transmis-
sion cable (Fig. E)
1.Hook the transmission cable
(13)
auction of
transmission
(14)
, fixing it with the provided
screw.
2.Hook the upper part of the transmission cable
(15)
to the motor body
(17)
locking everything
in place with the split pin
(16).
3.Check that everything is correctly assembled.
4.Connect the accelerator cable and electric
cables (see below).
Connecting the accelerator cable to the carbu-
rettor (Fig. E)
1.Dismount the air filter cover
(Fig.E pos.9)
.
2.Using your finger, rotate the device located
(a)
on the carburettor and keep it in place.
3.Slide the cable and sheath
(b)
all the way into
the threaded hole and align the cable with the
hook located on the carburettor.
4.Partly tighten the drilled screw
(c)
and tighten
the nut.
5.Release the carburettor device
(a)
, which will
rotate automatically thus tensioning the cable
.
6.Ensure that the cable head is inserted cor-
rectly.
7.Ensure the connection is good by pressing
the accelerator a few times
(Fig. A pos.3)
