Assemble  the  upper  part  of  the  handle  (14)  and  lock  it  to 

the two lower parts (11) and (12) using the upper knobs (15) 

(previously  removed  from  their  respective  holes),  inserted 

in  one  of  the  two  holes  (3)  or  (4)  according  to  the  desired 

final height. 

Fasten the cable (16) to the cable fasteners (17) and (18) 

as shown.

The correct position of the cable fitting (19) is as shown.

 1.2    Assembling the grass catcher

Join  the  two  side  components  (1)  and  (2)  of  the  grass 

catcher,  then  fit  the  top  part  (3),  inserting  all  the  outer  fit

-

tings correctly.

Assemble the handle (4) on the top part of the grass catch

-

er, snapping it into the appropriate seats. 

2. CONTROLS DESCRIPTION

 NOTE 

  The  meanings  of  the  symbols  on  controls  are 

explained in the previous pages.

 2.1  Dual-action switch

The  motor  is  controlled  by  a  dual-action  switch  to  prevent 

accidental start ups.

Press the button (2) and pull the lever (1), or one of the two 

levers (1a) for start up.

WARNING! 

 Ignition of the motor simultaneously 

engages the cutting means.

The motor will automatically stop when the lever (1) or both 

levers (1a) are released.

 2.2 

 Cutting height adjustment

The cutting height is adjusted by the specific lever (1). 

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 MOTOR IS SWITCHED OFF.

 3.1a 

   Preparation for grass cutting

and collection in 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 grass cutting

and rear discharge:

–   Remove  the  grass  catcher  and  check  that  the  rear  dis

-

charge guard (1) maintains its lowered position.

 3.1c 

   Preparation for mowing

and mulching (where applicable)

–   Lift the rear discharge guard (1), position the chute cap 

(5) inside the discharge opening and push it as far as 

possible until the lower contour fastens to the edge of the 

discharge opening. 

To remove the chute cap (5), lift the rear discharge guard (1) 

and pull it, keeping it lifted so as to unfasten the lower con

-

tour from the edge of the discharge opening.

 3.2  Ignition

Fasten the extension lead correctly as shown.

To  start  the  motor,  push  the  safety  button  (2)  and  pull  the 

switch lever (1) or one of the two levers (1a).

 IMPORTANT 

  When starting up the machine, there can be 

momentary drops in voltage.

Make sure that its impedance is lower than 0.42 ohm to pre

-

vent disturbances to other equipment connected to the pow-

er supply.

 3.3   Grass cutting

While  mowing,  make  sure  the  electric  cable  is  always  be

-

hind you and on the side of the lawn that has already been 

cut.

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, 

–   release  the  switch  lever  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.

•   When  mulching: 

always  avoid  cutting  a  large  quantity 

of grass. Never cut more than one third of the total grass 

height  per  single  pass!    Regulate  the  forward  speed  ac

-

cording  to  the  lawn  conditions  and  the  amount  of  grass 

being cut.

Lawn care recommendations

Each  type  of  grass  has  different  characteristics  and  may 

thus  require  different  ways  of  caring  for  the  lawn;  always 

read  the  instructions  on  seed  boxes  for  mowing  height  for 

the growing conditions in the work area.

Keep in mind that most grass is made up of a stem and one 

or more leaves. If leaves are fully cut, the lawn is damaged 

and growth is more difficult.

The following indications generally apply:

–   cutting  too  low  tears  and  uproots  the  grass,  giving  it  a 

“spotted” appearance;

–   in  the  summer,  cutting  must  be  higher  to  prevent  the 

ground from drying;

–   do not cut wet grass; this could reduce cutting means ef

-

ficiency due to sticky grass and tear the lawn.

–   for  particularly  high  grass,  initially  mow  at  the  maximum 

height allowed by the machine then mow again after two 

or three days.

 3.4 

 End of operations

On  completing  the  work,  release  the  lever  (1)  or  both  le

-

vers (1a). 

Disconnect  the  extension  lead  FIRST  from  the  general 

socket (2) THEN from the side of the lawnmower switch (3).

WAIT  UNTIL  THE  CUTTING  MEANS  STOPS  before  mak

-

ing any adjustments to the lawnmower.

 IMPORTANT 

 If the motor stops while mowing due to over-

heating, you must wait about 5 minutes before restarting it.
