Training
Preliminary operations
1) Read the instructions carefully. Become familiar with the controls and the proper use
of the lawnmower. Learn how to stop the engine quickly.
2) Only use the lawnmower for the purpose for which it was designed, namely mowing and
collecting grass. Any other usage may be hazardous and harm persons and/or damage
things. Examples of improper use may include, but are not limited to:
– transporting persons, children or animals on the machine;
– letting oneself be transported by the machine;
– using the machine to tow or push loads;
– using the machine for leaf or debris collection;
– using the machine to trim hedges, or for cutting vegetation other than grass;
– use of the machine by more than one person;
– using the blades on surfaces other than grass.
3 Never allow children or persons unfamiliar with these instructions to use the lawnmower.
Local regulations can restrict the minimum age of the operator.
4) Never use the lawnmower:
– when people, especially children or pets are nearby;
– if the operator has taken medicine or substances that may impair his ability to react and
be attentive.
5) Bear in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or unexpected events
occurring to other people or their property.
1) While mowing, always wear sturdy footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the lawnmower when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
2) Thoroughly inspect the entire work area and remove anything that could be thrown by the
machine or damage the cutting unit or engine (stones, branches, iron wire, bones, etc.).
3) WARNING: DANGER! Petrol is highly flammable.
– store the fuel in suitable containers;
– add fuel using a funnel, only outdoors; never smoke while doing this and whenever fuel
is handled;
– add petrol before starting the engine; never add petrol or remove the petrol tank cap
while the engine is running or when it is hot;
– if you have spilt some fuel, do not attempt to start the engine but move the lawnmower
away from the area of spillage to avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel has
evaporated and fuel vapours have dissipated.
– always put the tank and fuel container caps back on and tighten well;
4) Replace faulty silencers
5) Before use, always inspect generally and in particular to see that the blade, screws and
cutting unit are not worn or damaged. Replace damaged or worn blades and screws to
preserve balance.

7) Be extremely carefully when changing directions on slopes.
8) Do not mow on land that slopes more than 20°.
9) Be extremely careful when pull the lawnmower toward you.
10) Immobilise the blade if the lawnmower must be inclined for transport, when moving over

must be cut.
11) Never operate the lawnmower with damaged guards or without the grass-catcher or
stone-guard.
12) Do not change the engine settings or overspeed the engine.
13) On power-driven models, disengage wheel drive before starting up the engine.

discharge opening.
17) Do not lift or transport the lawnmower when the engine is running.
18) Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug cable:
– before making any adjustments under the cutting deck or before unclogging the chute:
– before checking, cleaning or working on the lawnmower;
– after striking a foreign object. Inspect the machine for any damage to the lawnmower
and make the necessary repairs before using it again;
– if the lawnmower begins to vibrate abnormally (Immediately look for the cause of the
vibrations and take it to a Specialised Centre for necessary inspections).
19) Stop the engine:
– whenever you leave the lawnmower unattended. Also remove the key on models with
electric start up;
– before refuelling;
– whenever you remove or reattach the grass-catcher;
– before adjusting the cutting height.
20) Reduce the throttle setting before stopping the engine. Shut off the fuel supply when

Maintenance and storage
Transportation and handling
1) Keep all nuts 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.
2) Do not store the lawnmower with fuel in the tank in an area where fuel vapours could
reach an open flame, a spark or a strong heat source.
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing the lawnmower in any enclosure.
4) To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine, silencer, battery compartment and petrol storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Never leave containers with cut grass
inside a storage area.
5) Check the stone-guard and grass-catcher frequently for wear or deterioration.
6) If the fuel tank has to be emptied, this should be done outdoors once the engine has
cooled down.
7) Wear work gloves for disassembling and reassembling blades.
8) Keep the blade balanced during sharpening. All work on the blade (disassembly, sharpening, balancing, reassembly and/or replacing) are demanding jobs that require special
skill as well as special tools. For safety reasons, these jobs are best carried out at a specialized centre.
9) For safety reasons, never use the machine when it has worn or damaged parts. Parts
must be replaced and not repaired. Use original spare parts. Parts that are not of the same
quality can damage the equipment and impair your safety.
1) Whenever the machine is to be handled, lifted, transported or tilted you must:
– wear sturdy work gloves;
– grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip, taking account of the weight and
its distribution;
– use an appropriate number of people for the weight of the machine and the character-
istics of the vehicle or the place where it must be placed or collected.
2) During transport, fasten the machine securely with cables or chains.
