1. COMPLETE ASSEMBLY

 NOTE 

  The machine can be supplied with some parts al-

ready assembled.

WARNING! 

  Unpacking and completing the assem-

bly should be done on a flat and stable surface, with 

enough space for moving the machine and its packag-

ing, always making use of suitable equipment.

Disposal of the packaging should be done in accord-

ance with the local regulations in force.

Complete  machine  assembly  following  the  indications  on 

the  instruction  sheets  enclosed  with  each  part  to  be  as

-

sembled.

 1.1 

 Battery connection

•   Electric key ignition models

Connect  the  battery  cable  to  the  general  wiring  connector 

on the lawnmower.

•   Electric push-button ignition models

Follow all the instructions provided in the engine Instruction 

Manual.

2. CONTROLS DESCRIPTION

 NOTE 

  The  meanings  of  the  symbols  on  controls  are  ex

-

plained in the previous pages.

 2.1 

 Throttle lever

The throttle is controlled by the lever (1).

Lever positions are indicated on the relevant plate.

Some  models  have  a  fixed  speed  engine  with  no  need  for 

a throttle.

 2.2 

  Engine brake lever / cutting means

The cutting means brake is controlled by the lever (1) which 

must be held against the handle during ignition and during 

lawnmower operations. 

The engine stops when the lever is released. 

 2.3 

  Drive lever (where applicable)

On power-driven models, push the lever (1) toward the han

-

dle for forward movement.

The  lawnmower  stops  moving  forward  when  the  lever  is 

released. 

The  engine  must  always  be  ignited  with  the  drive  disen

-

gaged.

 2.4  Cutting height adjustment

The cutting height is adjusted by the levers (1). 

The four wheels must be adjusted to the same height. 

DO THIS WHEN THE CUTTING MEANS IS STATIONARY.

3. GRASS CUTTING

 NOTE 

  This machine can be used to mow lawns in a num-

ber  of  different  ways;  before  starting  work,  prepare  the  ma

-

chine based on how the lawn is to be mowed.

DO THIS WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF.

 3.1a 

   Preparation for mowing and grass collection 

by the grass catcher:

–  Lift the rear discharge guard (1) and fasten the grass 

catcher (2) correctly as shown in the illustration.

 3.1b 

   Preparation for mowing and rear discharge 

of grass:

–   Remove  the  grass  catcher  and  check  that  the  rear  dis

-

charge guard (1) maintains its lowered position.

–   In  models  with  side  discharge  potential:  make  sure  the 

side discharge guard (4) is lowered.

 3.1c 

   Preparation for mowing and 

mulching (where applicable)

–   In  models  with  discharge  potential:  make  sure  the  side 

discharge guard (4) is lowered.

–   Lift the rear discharge guard (1) and fit the chute cap (5) 

in  the  discharge  opening,  keeping  it  slightly  tilted  to  the 

right. Fasten it by fitting the two pins (6) into the holes pro

-

vided until the fastener tooth (7) clicks into place.

To  remove  the  deflector  cap  (5),  lift  the  rear  discharge 

guard (1) and push in the middle to release the tooth (7).

 3.1d 

  Preparation for mowing and side  discharge of 

grass (where  applicable)

–   Lift the rear discharge guard (1) and fit the chute cap (5) 

in  the  discharge  opening,  keeping  it  slightly  tilted  to  the 

right. Fasten it by fitting the two pins (6) into the holes pro

-

vided until the fastener tooth (7) clicks into place.

–   Insert the side discharge chute (8) as shown in the figure.

–   Close the side discharge guard (4) so that the side dis-

charge chute (8) is locked in place.

To  remove  the  deflector  cap  (5),  lift  the  rear  discharge 

guard (1) and push in the middle to release the tooth (7).

 3.2  Engine ignition

During ignition, follow the instructions in the engine manual

•   Manual ignition models

Pull  the  cutting  means  brake  lever  (1)  against  the  handle 

and firmly tug the knob on the ignition cable (2). 

•   Electric key ignition models

Pull  the  cutting  means  brake  lever  (1)  against  the  handle 

and turn the ignition key (3).

•   Electric push-button ignition models

Insert the consent key (4) firmly in its seat, then pull the cut

-

ting means brake lever (1) against the handle, press the ig

nition button (5) and hold until the engine is running.

 3.3   Mowing the lawn

The  appearance  of  the  lawn  will  improve  if  you  alternate 

cutting in both directions at the same height.

When  the  grass  catcher  is  too  full,  grass  collection  is  no 

longer efficient and the sound of the lawnmower changes.

To remove and empty the grass catcher, 

–   stop the engine and wait for the cutting means to stop;

–   lift  the  rear  discharge  guard,  grasp  the  handle  and  re

-

move the grass catcher keeping it in an erect position.
