conditions without straining the operator and with a remarkable saving of time. It can cut high grass
and cutting height can be adjusted using the ring shims on the wheels (Fig. 11) or using the two
side slides. In case of very high grass, remove the wheel and its support and use the side slides to
let the grass being cut more easily. Attention! Rotating blades are extremely dangerous, never
put hands or feet under the rotary cutter. Do not clean the attachment when the engine is
running. Maintenance: Keep the lawn mower blade well sharpened: the cut will be better and the
engine will not strain. Always tighten the fixing bolt well when fastening or removing the blade.
Check the gearbox oil level every 50 hours, removing the cap on the top, and make sure that the
oil level is within 50mms of the hole; if the level is lower add 85W/90 gearbox oil. Change the oil
once a year.
WHEELS SPACERS
These innovative screw spacers allow to expand the track and therefore improve machine's
stability on slopes. They have to be mounted between wheels and hub and they expand the track
of 6 cm for each part (Fig. 12).
STEEL CAGE WHEELS
These wheels are highly recommended when mowing on hillsides. The cross bars placed around
the wheels dig into the ground, giving the machine a firm grip and preventing the wheels from
skidding (Fig. 13).
CUTTER BAR SIDE PROTECTION
It is used to prevent the cutter bar from bumping against walls or damaging trees. It is fitted at the
end of the cutter bar (fig. 14).
FRONT BLADE 125 cm
This highly resistant device is ideal for removing snow and levelling mounds of soil or gravel. May
be tilted to the right and left (Fig. 15).
ALL PURPOSE FLAIL
It is 68cm wide, has a roller fitted with swinging y tines and is able to cut tall grass, tough stalks
and small shrubs into fine pieces; it can also twigs etc. after pruning. Used with mower blades
instead of the y tines, it gives excellent results on smooth lawns (fig. 16). Attention, danger! The
rotating blades of the all purpose flail are highly dangerous. Never put hands or feet under
the all purpose flail. Never clean the attachment when the engine is running.
ORIENTABLE AND TILTING SWEEPER – 100 cm
This brush (fig. 17) can be attached to the machine following the mower bar's instructions. It is very
useful to clean roads and squares. It can also be used to clean up 10-12 cm high fresh snow and
it can be steered left or right to make drifts.
STORAGE AND PROLONGED PERIODS OF INACTIVITY
Store the mower in a dry place, away from atmospheric agents, and preferably cover it with a
sheet. Follow the instructions included in the engine manual. If the machine is to be out of use for
more than 30 days (models with petrol engine), drain the fuel from the engine to prevent sticky
deposits from forming in the fuel intake system or in vital parts of carburettor. To avoid this
procedure, it is possible to save fuel in storage up to 12 months by using an appropriate fuel
stabilizer. Add the such additive to the fuel in the tank or in the fuel container. Run the engine for a
while to let the stabilizer get into the fuel system. Caution: if the engine is fed with petrol
containing alcohol, drain the fuel tank and run the engine until there is no fuel left.
TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
If the machine has to be transported on a lorry or a trailer, fasten it to the vehicle using ropes or
cables.
