pours could reach a ame, a spark or a
strong heat source.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing in
an enclosed space.
• To reduce re hazards, keep the engine,
mufer, battery compartment and petrol
storage area free of grass, leaves, or

charging. Avoid inhalation and contact
with any part of the body.
Inhaling acid vapours causes damage
to mucous membranes and internal
organs. Seek medical attention imme-
diately.

placed and never repaired. Use origi-
nal replacement parts only: the use of
non-original and/or incorrectly tted
parts will jeopardize the safety of the
machine, may cause accidents or per-
sonal injuries for which the Manufac-
turer is under no circumstance liable
or responsible.
Any adjustments or maintenance op-
erations not described in this manual
must be carried out by your Dealer or
a specialized Service Centre with the
necessary knowledge and equipment
to ensure that the work is done correct-
ly maintaining the machine’s original
safety level. Any operations performed
in unauthorized centres or by unquali-
ed persons will totally invalidate the
Warranty and all obligations and re-
sponsibilities of the Manufacturer.
• After each use, remove the ignition key and
check for damage.
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
the equipment is in safe working condition.
Routine maintenance is essential for safety
and for maintaining a high performance level.
• Check that the cutting device screws are
properly tightened on a regular basis.
Wear work gloves when handling, dis-
assembling and reassembling the cut-
ting device.
Keep the cutting means well bal-
anced during sharpening. All work on
the cutting means (disassembly, sharp-
ening, balancing, reassembly and/or
replacing) are demanding jobs that re-
quire special skills as well as special
tools. For safety reasons, these jobs are
best carried out at a specialised centre.
• Check that the brakes work properly on
a regular basis. It is vital for brakes to
undergo regular maintenance and, where
necessary, repair work.
• Replace any instruction or warning
message stickers, if damaged.
• If the machine does not have mechanical
transport stops, the attachments must
always be placed on the ground when
the machine is parked, stored or left
unattended.
