4. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT – Regular, careful maintenance is essential for keeping the safety level and original performance of the
machine unchanged in time.
1) Wear strong working gloves during any cleaning, maintenance or adjustment operation on the machine.
2) Carefully clean the machines with water after each cut; remove the grass debris and mud accumulated inside the chassis
to avoid their drying and thus making the next start-up difficult.
3) The paintwork on the inside of the chassis may peel off in time due to the abrasive action of the cut grass; in this case,
intervene promptly by touching up the paintwork using a rustproof paint to prevent the formation of rust that would lead to
corrosion of the metal.
4) Should it be necessary to access the lower part, only tilt the machine from the side shown in the engine handbook; following
the relative instructions.
4.1
After work has been carried out on the blade, reassemble as shown
in the drawing, tightening the central screw (1) to 50-60 Nm
(5.0-6.0 kgm).
4.2
In the power-driven models, regulate the adjuster (1) so that the
wire (2) is slightly loose, with the lever (3) at rest
4.3
To recharge a flat battery, connect to the battery charger (1)
following the instructions in the battery maintenance handbook.
If the machine is to remain inactive for a long period, disconnect
the battery leads after making sure that the battery is fully charged.
Before initial use, or following winter storage, charge the battery for
24 hours using the charger provided.
To maintain the battery in good condition charge overnight once a
month during the season or more frequently if heavily used.
For winter storage, remove the battery and charge for 24 hours.
Store in a dry place at a temperature of no less than 5 degrees
Celsius.
Should you have any doubts or problems, do not hesitate to contact your nearest Service Centre or your Dealer.
