END OF THE WORKS
Once the works are finished, switch off the engine, move the gas lever (fig.1 n.3)
to STOP (or, if the engine is fitted with a stop switch, use it
after the engine rpm went idle), and, if provided, close the fuel tap.
After the cable laying has finished, it is essential to clean and grease the head of the cutter (check the
following paragraph).
Moreover, it is required to clean thoroughly the blade from any dirt and residues on it.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE THE HEAD (Fig. 16)
Each time the machine has been used, clean thoroughly the head of the
cutter. For this operation follow carefully the steps given below.
Tilt the machine forward and place it slowly on the ground. Remove all
grass and dirt residues, then blow it with compressed air.
