6.1 SAFETYRECOMMENDATIONS
Disconnect the spark plug cap, remove the key (
in
the electric start models) or shift the accelerator lever to «OFF» (
in
the manual start models) and read the relevant instructions before star-
ting any cleaning, maintenance or repairs. Wear suitable clothing and
strong gloves for dismantling and refitting the blade and in all other
hazardous situations for the hands.
Never use the machine with worn or damaged parts.
Faulty or worn-out parts must always be replaced and not repaired. Only
use genuine spare parts: those that are not of an equivalent quality may
damage the machine or endanger the safety of yourself and others.
Never get rid of used oil, fuel or other pollutants in unauthor-
ised places!
6.1.1 L
IFTING THE LIFT VERTICALLY
In order to have easy access to the lower part of the machine, you can lift it verti-
cally.
Place the machine on
firm and flat ground. At least two com-
petent people should be involved in this
operation to assure the necessary
safety.
1. Empty the fuel tank;
2. bring the cutting deck to position «5»;
3. insert a block (1) about 60 mm long
underneath the rear plate, taking care to position it between the edge of the
plate and the exit of the collector channel;
4. lift the machine from the front, holding onto parts that offer a firm grip (apart
from the steering wheel) and rest it on the points shown, taking care not to
damage the grass-catcher’s brackets.
Be sure of the good stability of the machine before
