Over time, ground speed may decrease. Adjust as follows:
• Rotate nut (1) on the underside of the housing to tighten
cable. Ground speed should increase.
If ground speed remains the same, drive belt is worn and should
be replaced.
Mit der Zeit kann die Geschwindigkeit abnehmen. Regulieren
Sie diese wie folgt:
• Drehen Sie die Mutter (1) an der Gehäuseunterseite gedrückt
um den Riemen zu straffen. Die Grundgeschwindigkeit sollte
so zunehmen.
Verändert dieses Verfahren die Geschwindigkeit nicht, ist der
Transmissionsriemen defekt und muss ersetzt werden.
Après un certain temps, la vitesse de roulement peut diminuer.
Veuillez l’ajuster de cette façon:
• Tournez le écrou (1) situé en dessous du châssis pour tendre
le câble d'entraînement. La vitesse de roulement devrait
augmenter.
Si la vitesse de roulement demeure inchangée, la courroie du
système d’entraînement est usée et doit être remplacée.
Con el tiempo, la velocidad con relación al suelo puede reducirse.
Ajustar del siguiente modo:
• Rote tuerca (1) en la parte inferior del bastidor para tensar
el cable impulsor. La velocidad con relación al suelo tendría
que aumentar.
Si la velocidad con relación al suelo permanece invariada, la co-
rrea de transmisión está desgastada y se tiene que sustituir.
De basissnelheid kan mettertijd afnemen. Corrigeer dit op de
volgende manier:
• Draai de Moeren (1) onder de behuizing in en houd deze
ingedrukt om de kabel te spannen. De basissnelheid moet
toenemen.
Als de snelheid dezelfde blijft, is de drijfriem versleten en dient
deze te worden vervangen.
Nel tempo, la velocità rispetto al suolo potrebbe ridursi. Eseguire
le seguenti regolazioni:
• Ruotare la dado (1) posizionato sulla parte posteriore del
telaio da serrare il cavo. La velocità rispetto al suolo dovrebbe
aumentare.
Qualora la velocità rispetto al suolo non cambi, significa che
la cinghia di trasmissione è usurata e dovrà essere quindi
sostituita.

I. Training
• Read the instructions carefully. Be fa mil iar with the
con trols and the proper use of the equipment.
• Never allow children or people un fa mil iar with the
ins truc tions to use the lawnmower. Local regulations
may restrict the age of the operator.
• Never mow while people, especially children, or pets
are nearby.
• Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible
for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or
their property.
II. Preparation
• While mowing, always wear sub stan tial footwear and
long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when
barefoot or wearing open sandals.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment
is to be used and remove all objects which may be
thrown by the machine.
• WARNING - Petrol is highly flammable.
- Store fuel in containers specifically de signed for
this pur pose.
- Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while re fu -
el ing.
- Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove
the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine
is running or when the en gine is hot.
- If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine
but move the ma chine away from the area of spill-
age and avoid cre at ing any source of ig ni tion until
petrol va pors have dis si pat ed.
- Replace all fuel tanks and container caps se-
cure ly.
• Replace faulty silencers.
• Before using, always visually inspect to see that the
blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn
or dam aged. Replace worn or damaged blades and
bolts in sets to pre serve balance.
• On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one
blade can cause other blades to rotate.
III. Operation
• Do not operate the engine in a confined space where
dan ger ous carbon mon ox ide fumes can collect.
• Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
• Avoid operating the equipment in wet grass, where
feasible.
• Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
• Walk, never run.
• For wheeled rotary machines, mow across the face
of slopes, never up and down.
• Exercise extreme caution when chang ing direction
on slopes.
• Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
• Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the
lawnmower towards you.
• Stop the blade if the lawnmower has to be tilted for
trans por ta tion when cross ing surfaces other than
grass, and when transporting the lawnmower to and
from the area to be mowed.
• Never operate the lawnmower with defective guards, or
without safety de vic es, for example deflectors and/or
grass catchers, in place.
• Do not change the engine governor settings or over-
speed the engine. Op er at ing the engine at excessive
speed may increase the hazard of personal injury.
• Disengage all blade and drive clutches before starting
the engine.
• Start the engine or switch on the motor carefully ac-
cording to instructions and with feet well away from
the blade.
• Do not tilt the lawnmower when starting the engine or
switch ing on the motor, except if the lawnmower has
to be tilted for starting. In this case, do not tilt more
than absolutely nec es sary and lift only the part which
is away from the op er a tor.
• Do not start the engine when standing in front of the
discharge chute.
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the dis charge opening at all times.
• Never pick up or carry lawnmower while the engine
is running.
• Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug
wire:
- before cleaning blockages or un clog ging chute;
- before checking, cleaning or work ing on the lawn-
mower;
- after striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawnmower
for damage and make repairs before re start ing and
op er at ing the lawnmower;
- if the lawnmower starts to vibrate abnormally (check
im me di ate ly).
• Stop the engine:
- whenever you leave the lawnmower;
- before refuelling.
• Reduce the throttle setting during en gine shut down
and, if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve,
turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing.
• Go slow when using a trailing seat.
IV. Maintenance and Storage
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equip ment is in safe work ing condition.
• Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside
a building where fumes may reach an open flame or
spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclo-
sure.
• To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer,
battery compartment and petrol storage area free of
grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
• Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or de te -
ri o ra tion.
• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
• If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done
outdoors.
