 7.4.2  Cleaning the cutting-means assembly

• 

Remove grass debris and mud accumulated in 

the chassis to prevent it from drying and causing 

problems the next time the lawnmower is used.

• 

If accessing the lower part is necessary, only tilt 

the machine on the side indicated in the engine 

manual, following the relevant instructions, 

making sure that the machine is perfectly stable 

before performing any interventions.

For side and rear discharge:

 if fitted, 

remove the discharge chute.

To wash the inside of the cutting-means 

assembly, proceed as follows:

1. 

Remove the grass catcher.

2. 

Connect the water hose to the specific 

attachment (Fig.22.A).

3. 

Lower the cutting height as far as possible.

4. 

Always stand behind the lawnmower handle.

5. 

Start the engine.

Paint on internal chassis parts may come off over 

time due to the abrasive action of cut grass; if this 

happens, promptly touch-up paint with rust-proof paint 

to prevent rusting that could corrode the metal.

 7.4.3  Cleaning the grass catcher;

1. 

Empty the grass catcher;

2. 

Shake it to remove grass cuttings and soil residue;

3. 

Wash and rinse it, then place it 

where it can dry quickly.

 7.5  NUTS AND BOLTS

Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure 

the equipment is in safe working condition.

 7.6  BATTERY

The battery is supplied for electric push-button starter 

switch models. Read the engine instruction manual 

for instructions regarding autonomy, recharging, 

reinstating and  maintenance of the battery.

The battery does not require charging in motors 

(Fig.17.A.13). It can only be charged with an 

external USB charging device (not supplied with 

the machine) in emergency situations. Follow the 

instructions provided in the engine manual.

 7.7  ADJUSTING THE CONVERTER CABLE

This adjustment is necessary when the lever (Fig.23.A) 

tends not to remain in the «

» position.

IMPORTANT

 The adjustment must 

be made when the engine is off.

With the lever (Fig.23.A) in the «

» position, turn the 

cable adjuster (Fig.23.B) in the direction indicated by the 

arrow as needed to ensure the lever remains in position.

8.  OCCASIONAL MAINTENANCE

  Before conducting any inspections, cleaning or 

maintenance/adjustment interventions on the machine:
•  Stop the machine.

•  Make sure that all moving parts have 

come to a complete stop.

• 

Wait until the engine is sufficiently cold.

•  Remove the spark plug cap (Fig.24.A).

•  Remove the key (Fig.24.C) or battery (for 

electric push-button starter switch models).

•  Read the relevant instructions.

•  Use suitable clothing, protective 

gloves and goggles.

 8.1  CUTTING MEANS

A badly sharpened cutting means pulls at the 

grass and causes the lawn to turn yellow.

  Do not touch the cutting means until the key has 

been removed and the cutting means is completely sta-

tionary.

  All work on the cutting means (disassembly, shar-

pening, balancing, repairing, reassembly and/or repla-

cing) are demanding jobs that require special skills as 

well as special tools. For safety reasons, these jobs are 

best carried out at a Specialised Centre.

  Make sure damaged, misshapen or worn cutting-

means are replaced, together with its own screws in 

place to preserve balance.

IMPORTANT

 Always use original cutting means 

bearing the code indicated in the “Technical Data”.

Given product evolution, the cutting means 

listed in the "Technical Data" table may be 

replaced in time with others having similar 

interchangeable and operating safety features.

9.  STORAGE

When the machine is to be stored away:

1. 

Start the engine in the open air and run it 

idle until it comes to a halt, so that it uses up 

all the fuel that is left in the carburettor.

2. 

Wait for the engine to cool.

3. 

Remove the spark plug cap (Fig.24.A).

4. 

Remove the key (Fig.24.C) or battery (for 

electric push-button starter switch models)

5. 

Clean the machine thoroughly (par. 7.4).

6. 

Check the machine for any damage. If necessary, 

contact the authorised service centre.

7. 

Store the machine:

• 

in a dry place;

• 

protected from inclement weather;

• 

covered with a sheet where possible;

• 

in a place where children cannot get to it.

• 

making sure that keys or tools used for maintenance 

are removed.
