 Machines with vertical storage possibility (chap. 

8.1) have a tank that contains a fuel level indicator. Do 

not fill the tank above this level indicator (Fig.24.A).

IMPORTANT

 Clean any trace of leaked fuel. The warran

-

ty does not cover damages caused by the fuel to the plastic 

parts.

NOTE

 Fuel is perishable and should not remain in the 

tank for more than 30 days.

 7.2.2 

Check/top-up engine oil

Check/top-up the engine oil according to the methods and 

cautionary measures indicated in the owner's manual of 

the engine.

For a correct operation of the machine, regularly replace 

the engine oil, according to the indications in the owner's 

manual of the engine.

Make sure to have restored the oil level before using the 

machine again.

 7.3  OCCASIONAL MAINTENANCE
 7.3.1  Cutting means

 All operations concerning cutting means (disas-

sembly, sharpening, balancing, repair, reassembly and 

/ or replacement) must be performed at an Authorised 

Service Centre.

Make sure damaged, misshapen or worn cutting 

means are replaced, together with the securing screws 

to preserve balance.

IMPORTANT

 Always use original cutting means bearing the 

code indicated in the “Technical Data” table.

 7.4  CLEANING

Clean thoroughly following the instructions below every 

time it is used.

 7.4.1  Cleaning the machine

• 

Always make sure the air intakes are free of debris.

• 

Do not use aggressive liquids to clean the chassis.

• 

To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine free of grass, 

leaves residues or excessive grease.

• 

Wash the machine with water after each cutting work.

 7.4.2 

Cleaning the cutting means assembly

• 

Remove grass debris and mud accumulated inside the 

chassis.

Models without washing connection

• 

To access the lower part, tilt the machine from the side 

indicated in the engine's manual, following the relative in

-

structions, making sure that the machine is stable before 

carrying out any intervention.

For side discharge:

 remove the discharge chute (if 

mounted - par. 6.1.2d.).

 To wash the internal part of the cutting means assembly, 

proceed as follows (Fig.25.A/B/C):

1. 

always stay behind the handle of the lawn mower;

2. 

start the engine.

If the painting of the internal side of the chassis comes 

off, take immediate action, by retouching the painting with 

anti-rust paint.

 7.4.3  Cleaning the grass catcher 

(

Fig.26.A/B)

Clean the grass catcher and leave it to dry.

 7.5  BATTERY

The battery is supplied for the models with push-button 

electric start. For instructions regarding the battery 

life, recharging, storage and maintenance, follow the 

instructions in the instructions manual of the engine.

8.  STORAGE

When the machine is to be stored away:

1. 

Start the engine outdoors and leave it running at idle 

until it stops in order to consume all the fuel left in the 

carburettor;

2. 

clean the machine thoroughly (par. 7.4);

3. 

check the integrity of the machine;

4. 

store the machine:

• 

in a dry place;

• 

protected from inclement weather;

• 

in a place out of children's reach;

• 

making sure that keys or tools used for maintenance 

are removed.

 8.1  VERTICAL STORAGE

If necessary, some models (see the Technical Data Ta

-

ble) can be stored vertically (Fig.27).

Do not store the machine upright with the tank filled 

above the lowest mark of the fuel level indicator (Fig.24.A).

Proceed as follows:

1. 

Remove the spark plug cap (Fig.23.B) or remove the key 

(Fig.23.D) or the battery (for models with push-button elec

-

tric start command).

2. 

Move the cutting height to the second lower position 

(see chapter 5.5);

3. 

Carefully fold the handle in closed position and tighten 

the levers (Fig.27);

4. 

Put the machine in vertical position and carefully fold 

the handle in closed position and tighten the levers 

(Fig.27);

 Store the machine so as to avoid risk in the event of 

accidental contact with people, children or animals.

 Do not attempt to store in vertical position machines 

that have not been designed for this purpose.
