5.4.9 Storage and inactivity for long periods
If you intend not to use the machine for a long period (more than 1 month),
disconnect the battery cables and follow the instructions in the engine instruction
manual.
Empty the fuel tank by disconnecting the
tube (1) situated at the inlet of the fuel filter
(2), & collect the fuel in a suitable container.
Reconnect the tube (1) making sure you
position the clip properly (3).

WARNING!
Carefully remove any dry grass cuttings which may have
collected around the engine or silencer to prevent their catching fire the next
time the machine is used!
Put the machine away in a dry, sheltered place & preferably covered with a cloth
(
9.3).
IMPORTANT
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 before using again ( 6.2.3).
The next time the machine is used, check that there are no fuel leaks from the
tubes, fuel tap or carburettor.
5.4.10 Board protection fuse
The electronic board is fitted with a fuse which breaks the circuit if there is a fault or
short circuit on the electrical system. The intervention of the fuse causes the engine
to stop; before replacing the fuse (
6.3.5) try to find and remove the cause of the
fault to prevent it from happening again.
5.5 USING THE MACHINE ON SLOPING GROUND
Only mow on slopes with gradients up to
the maximum already mentioned (
max
10 o
). Lawns on a slope have to be mowed
moving up & down & never across them.
When changing direction, take great care
that the wheels facing up the slope do not
hit any obstacles (such as stones,
branches, roots, etc.) that may cause the
machine to slide sideways, tip over or
make you lose control.
DANGER!
REDUCE SPEED BEFORE ANY CHANGE OF DIRECTION
ON SLOPES, and always apply the parking brake before leaving the machine at
a standstill & unattended.
DANGER!
Start moving forwards very carefully on sloping ground to
prevent the risk of tipping over. Reduce the forward speed before going on a
slope, particularly downhill.
