9. BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING - BREAkDOWNS AND REMEDIES
Most operating anomalies are due to incorrect use of the mulching mower or a lack of the normal maintenance that we recommend.
Below we suggest some simple ways to identify basic faults and remedy them. If the breakdown persists nevertheless, we recommend that you
contact one of our ETESIA dealers (list on request from ETESIA - 67165 WISSEMBOURG).
If these checks are not enough to deal with the breakdown, contact an approved ETESIA dealer.
Important : when replacing parts, use only ETESIA original parts. The quality of the work carried out, the service life of the
mulching mower and your safety depend on it.
The use of "non original" parts, as well as putting the user at risk, would lead to the cancellation of the warranty for any resulting
damage. ETESIA can accept no liability in the event of any accident due to the use of a "non original" spare part.
