STANDARDS OF USE
For instructions regarding the engine, read
the relevant manual.
NOTE – The machine can be supplied with
some of the components already fitted.
Attach the bottom of the handle (1) to the
holes on the side of the chassis. Secure it using
the nuts and bolts supplied (2).
Fit the top of the handle (3) using the nuts and
bolts (4) provided, ensuring that the spiral (5) of
the starter cable is positioned correctly.
On some models: connect the engine brake
cable (6) by attaching the wire terminal (7) to
the hole on the control lever (8). Fasten the
cable support (6a) to the handle using the nuts
and bolts (9) as shown.
Attach the control cables using the clamps (10).
Carefully detach the plate (1) and wash-
ers (2) from the top of the grass-catcher (3).
Dispose of the washers (2) and fit the plate (1)
onto the top of the grass-catcher (3) so that it
clicks into place. Assemble the two parts of the
grass-catcher (3) and (4), making sure that the
hooks are fully locked into place and fasten
them using the screws supplied (5).
The throttle is controlled by the lever (1)
and positioned as shown on the relative plate.
The blade brake is controlled by the
lever (1), which should be held against the han-
dle when starting and using the lawnmower. The
engine stops when the lever is released.
In the power-driven models, pull the
lever (1) towards the handle for forward move-
ment. The lawn-mower stops moving forward
when the lever is released.
The cutting height is adjusted using the
levers (1).
On some models, remove the hub cover (2) and
unscrew the pin (3) using the wrench (4) provid-
ed; fit the wheels into the required hole (5) and
fully tighten the pin (3) using the wrench (4). The
four wheels must be at the same height. MAKE
THIS ADJUSTMENT ONLY WHEN THE BLADE
IS STOPPED.
Lift the stone-guard and attach the
grass-catcher (1) correctly as shown in the
drawing.

1. FINISH ASSEMBLY
To start the engine, follow the instruc-
tions in the engine booklet and then pull the
blade brake lever (1) towards the handle and
give a sharp pull on the starter cable knob (2).
The lawn will look better if it is always
cut to the same height and in alternate direc-
tions.
When you have finishing mowing,
release the brake lever (1). WAIT FOR THE
BLADE TO STOP and disconnect the spark
plug cap (2) before carrying out any type of
work on the machine.
IMPORTANT – Regular, careful maintenance
is essential for keeping the safety level and
original performance of the machine
unchanged in time.
Store the lawnmower in a dry place. Never
tip the mower onto its side. To access the
underneath of the cutter deck lower the han-
dles to the ground to raise the front of the
mower.
1) Wear strong working gloves during any
cleaning, maintenance or adjustment opera-
tion on the machine.
2) Carefully clean the machines with water after
each cut; remove the grass debris and mud
accumulated inside the chassis to avoid their
drying and thus making the next start-up dif-
ficult.
3) The paintwork on the inside of the chassis
may peel off in time due to the abrasive
action of the cut grass; in this case, intervene
promptly by touching up the paintwork using
a rustproof paint to prevent the formation of
rust that would lead to corrosion of the
metal.
4) Should it be necessary to access the lower
part, only tilt the machine by lowering the
handles to the ground to raise the front of the
mower.
5) Do not drip petrol onto the plastic parts of
the motor or the machine to prevent damag-
ing them and remove all traces of spilt petrol
immediately. The warranty does not cover
damage to plastic parts caused by petrol.
All operations on the blade should be
carried out at a specialized centre.
Note for specialized centres: Reassemble the
blade (2) as shown in the drawing and tighten
the central screw (1) using a torque wrench set
to 50-60 Nm.
In the power-driven models, regulate the
adjuster (1) so that the wire (2) is slightly loose,
with the lever (3) at rest
Should you have any doubts or problems, do
not hesitate to contact your nearest Service
Centre or your Dealer.
