HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
Always empty the grass-catcher and do not leave containers
full of cut grass inside a room.
Clean the plastic parts of the body with a damp sponge using water and detergent,
taking care not to wet the engine, the electrical parts or the electronic circuit board
located under the dashboard.
Never use hose nozzles or harsh detergents to clean the body-
work or the engine!
When washing the inside of the cutting deck
and the collector channel, the machine must be
on firm ground with:
– the grass-catcher or stone-guard fitted;
– the operator seated;
– the engine running;
– the transmission in neutral;
– the blades engaged.
Connect a water hose to each of the pipe fit-
tings (1) one at a time and run water through
each one for a few minutes, with the blades
moving.
When washing, the cutting deck should be lowered right down. Take off the grass-
catcher, empty and rinse it, and then put it in a position where it can dry quickly.
5.4.11 Storage and inactivity for long periods
If you intend not to use the machine for a long period (more than 1 month), disconnect
the battery cables and follow the instructions in the engine instruction manual.
Empty the fuel tank by disconnecting the tube situated at the inlet of the fuel filter (1)
and follow the instructions in the engine manual.
Carefully remove any dry grass
cuttings which may have collected around the
engine or silencer to prevent their catching fire
the next time the machine is used!
Put the machine away in a dry, sheltered place and
preferably covered with a cloth (
