Precautions during use (Fig. 10)
1. Keep people and animals away from the cut-
ting area.
2. Operate only with grassbag in position.
3. Keep hands and feet away from the chute door
and the rotor under the deck.
4. Always wear headset to protect your ears from
excessive noise during operation.
8 - MAINTENANCE
Adjustment of the traction cable
After the first hours of use it is possible that the traction
handle cable loosens and it becomes difficult to use.
If this happens, adjust the cable regulator (Fig. 11).
The adjustment is correct when the traction goes into action
with a distance of 30 mm between the traction handle and
the handlebar (Fig. 12).
Replacement of the oil in the sump
1. Place the machine on a flat surface.
2. Start the engine and run it for about 1 minute until the oil
warms up and becomes more liquid. Turn the engine off;
take the cap off the spart plug and empty the fuel tank.
3. Remove the oil tank cap and pull the dipstick out.
4. Turn the machine on to its left side so that the oil drops
out into a container (Fig. 13).
See paragraph dealing with replacement of oil for refill.
Servicing the air filter
Clean the air filter every 25 hours. Replace it every season.
(See engine manual for further information).
