•
Working in extreme conditions, with very high and strong grass, it could happen that the blade is blocked by the
grass. In this case, you can increase the mowing height, and reduce the working width of each passage.
•
If you need a “ Mulching” effect, you should leave the mowing deck closed, with the protection guards mounted.
•
When you are driving the machine near a wall or a stoned path, be very careful, because it could damage the
blade.
•
For moving the machine Forward and Backward with the engine OFF, please don’t push the clutch lever ( Pos. A in
Pict.5).
•
The front little wheel is normally turning at 360°, and it is mounted with a pin ( included), as shown in Pict. 9, Pos.
A. In case you want it fixed, you can block it, mounting the pin as in Pict.9, pos.B.
•
The machine must be always used in the full respect of the safety rules listed in this manual.
•
It is recommended to use the machine in the daylight, or with good artificial lighting.
IMPORTANT: Don’t leave the engine running, when the machine
is not working .

MAINTENANCE
•
When changing oil and doing the normal engine maintenance (spark-plug, air-filter , etc.) carefully follow the
Engine manual delivered with the machine.
•
Before doing any service operation, STOP the engine, and disconnect the spark-plug.
•
Keep clean the air conveyer on the engine.
The gear-box ( Pos. D in Pict.7), is closed in oil, and does not need any maintenance. In case of problems, please
contact the dealer.
•
For any technical assistance, specially during the guarantee period, it is recommendable to apply the specialized
workshop where you bought the machine.
•
You should regularly check that all the screws are tight screwed, giving special attention to the screw blocking the
blade ( Pos. A in Pict.10), and to the 4 screws of the blade-support ( Pos. B in Pict.10).
•
It is very important to keep the blade well sharpened ( it should be disassembled and sharpened every 30 working
hours). A bad sharp of the blade can reduce the efficiency of the machine of 25 –30%.
•
It is important to check also the correct balance of the blade, in order to avoid the risk of strong vibrations, which
could damage the machine.
•
When necessary, replace the blade using only and strictly original spare parts.
•
PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE TO BE DONE AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR:
•
After removing the rear protection guard, unscrewing the 4 screws fixing it to the chassis, ( Pos. A in Pict.11), you
can grease the chain ( Pos. B in Pict.11), using spray grease.
