1• YOUR SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• Always keep the machine and its different accessories in perfect  

working condition. 

• Replace worn or damaged parts for greater safety.

• Servicing and cleaning of the mulching mower must always be done 

with the engine off. As a precaution, remove the spark plug cap. 

• Always use recently purchased petrol. Old petrol could leave gum 

deposits in the carburettor, lead to leaks or make the engine difficult 

to start. Only buy unleaded petrol as for maxi one month. Store the 

petrol in a clean container not used for other purposes.

• 

WARNING DANGER :

  Petrol is highly inflammable.

• NEVER STORE, OR USE PETROL NEAR A NAKED FLAME or 

near devices such as stoves, water-heaters with pilot lights or any 

other device liable to produce sparks.

• Always fill in the fuel tank outside a building in an open space. Do 

not smoke during this operation. 

• Add fuel before starting the engine. 

• Never remove the tank filler cap and do not fill up the tank when 

the engine is running or still hot. Leave the engine to cool for few 

minutes before filling up with petrol.

• Replace the tank filler cap and the jerrican cap correctly. 

• Do not attempt to start the engine when any petrol has been spilt, 

when you can smell petrol or when other explosive conditions are 

present. Remove the mulching mower from the spillage area and 

avoid causing any source of ignition until the petrol vapours have 

dispersed. 

• Do not transport the mulching mower with petrol in the tank or the 

feed cock open.

• Do not modify the regulator springs, rods or other parts to increase 

the engine speed. Operate the engine at the recommended speed.

• Do not check the spark by removing the spark plug. Use an 

approved checking system.

• Do not pull the starter when the spark plug is out. If the engine is 

flooded, bring the gas lever to the MAXI position and pull until the 

engine starts. 

• Do not knock the engine wheel with a hammer or a hard object.

Otherwise, the wheel may break during operation. Have all major 

servicing operations performed by an authorised ETESIA mechanic 

who has the appropriate tools.

• Do not use the engine without the silencer. Check the silencer 

regularly and have it replaced if it’s damaged or leaking.

• Do not touch the exhaust, cylinder or fins when hot. Otherwise, you 

may get burnt.

• Do not use your mulching mower in wooded areas, scrub, or on 

fallow or grassy land if the exhaust pipe is not equipped with a 

spark arrester. (The spark arrester must be kept in good condition by 

the owner or operator). 

• Do not start the engine when the air filter or air filter cover have 

been removed. 

• Ensure the engine cannot start accidentally : remove the spark plug 

cap when doing any work on the mulching mower. 

• Clean the cylinder fins and regulator mechanism of any dirt, residue 

of grass and other materials which could alter the engine speed.

• Pull the starter cord slowly until you feel resistance. Then pull it 

energetically to prevent recoiling and hurting your hand or arm.

• Check the fuel pipe and connections for cracks and leaks and have 

them changed if necessary. 

• Spare blades must only be mounted on machines for which they 

have been designed, and in compliance with the instructions given.

• The use of none genuine parts could effect the performance of the 

product, or raise the risk of injury to yourself. Always use original 

parts only.
