Maintenance & Care

    Safety

      1. WARNING - 

Before cleaning or doing 

maintenance work, you need to stop the 
engine and disconnect the spark plug cable 
and read the relevant instructions. You need 
to wear proper clothing and protective gloves 
whenever your hands are at risk.

      2. WARNING - 

If there are worn or 

damaged parts, never use the machine. Faulty 
or worn-out parts must be replaced and not 
repaired. You must only use original spare 
parts. The use of non-original and/or 
incorrectly fitted parts will jeopardize the 
safety of the machine. This may also cause 
accidents or personal injuries for which the 
manufacturer is under no circumstance liable 
or responsible.

3. 

Any maintenance operations or adjustments 

not explained in this manual must be carried 
out by your Dealer or a specialised Service 
Centre with the necessary knowledge and 
equipment to ensure that the work is done 
correctly maintaining the machine’s original 
safety level. Any operations performed in 
unauthorised centres or by unqualified 
persons will invalidate the Warranty and all 
obligations and responsibilities of the 
Manufacturer.

4. 

Disconnect the spark plug cable and

check for damage after each use.

5.

 To be sure the machine is in safe working 

condition, keep all nuts, screws and bolts 
tight. Routine maintenance is essential for 
safety and for maintaining a high performance 
level.

6.

 On a regular basis, check that the blades 

screws are properly tightened.

7. 

When handling, disassembling and 

re-assembling the blade, make sure to wear 
work gloves.

8. 

Keep the blade well balanced during

sharpening. All work on the blade 
(disassembly, sharpening, balancing, 
re-assembly and/or replacing) should be 
carried out at  a specialised centre as they are 
demanding jobs that require special skills and 
special tools. 

9. 

Be very careful during adjustment of the 

machine to prevent entrapment of the fingers 
between moving parts of the blade and fixed 
parts of the machine.

10. 

Do not touch the blade until the spark plug 

has been disconnected and the blade is 
completely stationery. When servicing the 
blade, even though the spark plug cable is 
disconnected, the blade can still move.

11.

 Check the grass collector frequently. 

Replace if damaged.

12.

 If any warning message stickers or 

instruction is damaged, replace them.

13. 

Store the machine in a safe place, out of the 

reach of children.

14. 

Do not store the machine with fuel in the 

tank in an area where the fuel vapours could 
reach an open flame, a strong heat source or a 
spark.

15.

 Engine must be cooled down before storing.

16.

 To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine, 

silencer, battery compartment and petrol 
storage area free of grass, leaves, or 
excessive grease. You must always empty the 
grass collector and do not leave containers full 
of cut grass inside storage areas.

17. 

To reduce fire hazards, check there is no oil 

and/or fuel leaks on a regular basis.

18. 

If you need to empty the fuel tank, this 

should be done outdoors once the engine has 
cooled down.
