Remove the spark plug and gently clean off any carbon deposits from the tip with a small
copper wire brush, finishing off with petrol. Allow the spark plug to dry. Pull the starter
rope several times to expel excess oil from the cylinder. Replace and tighten the spark
plug. Fill the fuel tank with unleaded petrol. Turn over the engine until it starts.
Before transporting the mower
Thoroughly clean the mower. Empty the fuel tank using a suction pump. Dispose of
discarded fuel safely and responsibly, remembering that petrol vapours can cause
explosion or fire. Run the engine until any remaining fuel is consumed.
Allow the engine to cool. Remove the grass collection bag. Loosen the quick release and
fold down the top section of the handles taking care not to bend the cables.
To avoid scratching the mower, insert corrugated cardboard or similar padding between
the upper and lower handlebars and the engine.
Due to the mower’s weight, use ramps or seek assistance when lifting or loading the
mower.
d. Mower maintenance
Cutting system
Before and after each mowing session, check that the blade, its attachment bolts and
drive shaft are not damaged or excessively worn. Never try to straighten a bent blade.
Replace a damaged, worn or bent blade as soon as possible. Use only genuine parts.
Excessive vibration when mowing is a good indication of a problem with the cutting
system.
WARNING: Vibration from a bent or damaged blade can cause costly damage to the
mower. Working with an excessively worn blade wastes fuel and can lead to injury if the
blade becomes detached from the machine.
Warning: there is a danger about moving blade. Always handle the blade when it is totally
stopped. Wear protective gloves.
Sharpening the blade
For best mowing results, have the edges sharpened and the blade balanced at least once
a year by a specialist service dealer or agent.
Removing the blade
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent possible injury when handling the blade.
Disconnect the spark plug cap and tilt the mower on its side with air filter and carburettor
side uppermost.
Holding the blade firmly in one hand, use a spanner or socket to loosen the blade screw.
Mounting the blade
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent possible injury when handling the blade.
Disconnect the spark plug cap and tilt the mower on its side with air filter and carburettor
side uppermost.
Check that all components (the blade, key, blade holder, screws and washers).are
present, clean and in good condition.
Position the blade on its support with the cooling fins facing the engine.
Check the correct alignment and matching of pads with the blade. The blade must be
positioned precisely on its stand.
Tighten the screws connecting all of the components. Make a final visual check that all
parts are present and aligned before tightening the fixing bolt very firmly with a wrench
while holding the blade firmly in one hand (NB wear suitable gloves).
Spark plug
Check the spark plug initially after the first five hours of mower use. Thereafter,
maintenance of the spark plug should take place every 25 hours.
Remove the spark plug cap using a rotary motion and then remove the spark plug with
the wrench provided.
Clean off any carbon deposits using a copper brush and check the electrode gap with a
feeler gauge.
