GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. Make sure all the nuts and screws are tight, so the lawn mower is in good
operating condition and safe to use.
2. Wait for the engine to completely cool down before cleaning, adjusting, or
repairing.
Risk of burns!
3. Never store the lawn mower in a secluded area with petrol in the tank, as the
fumes may reach a naked flame or a source of sparks.
4. Wait for the engine to cool down, before storing the lawn mower in a secluded
area.
5. In order to reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, the muffler (battery housing)
and petrol deposited area free of grass leaves or excessive grease.
6. Frequently make sure the grass bag is not worn or torn.
7. For safety reasons, repair any worn or damaged parts only using original spare
parts. Non-original spare parts may not suit properly and cause damage and
dangers.
8. Should you need to empty the fuel tank, do so in the open.
9. When the machine must be parked, stored, or left unattended, lower the blade
deck, and remove the ignition key to prevent unauthorized persons starting the
machine.
10. Regularly check, or have an after-sale center check, the tightening of the blade
and of the engine supporting bolts.
11. Blade sharpening and balance adjustment, including removal and refitting, are
demanding operations and will require specific competence, as well as special
equipment. Especially for safety reasons these operations must be carried out by
a specialized after-sale center. The same applies for replacing the blade with a
new one.
12. Use caution when servicing blades. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves. Replace
damaged blades. Do not repair or alter blade(s).
Wear heavy gloves.
The lawn mower blade is sharp and can cut the skin. You need to take the necessary
precautions whenever you work near or on the blade.
