Mowing tips
Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary to raise the cutting
height to reduce resistance ( prevent overload of the engine) and leaving clumps of grass
clippings. It may also be necessary to run the lawn mower over the area a second time.
For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut by over lapping previously cut paths
and mow slowly.
The pores in the cloth grass catcher can become blocked with dirt and dust and will collect
less grass. To prevent this, regularly hose down the grass catcher and let dry before re
using.
Keep the top of the engine (around the starter) clear and clean of grass clippings and
chaff. This will help engine air flow and extend engine life.
11 MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT - Regular, careful maintenance is essential for keeping the safety level and
original performance of the machine unchanged in time.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
Regular maintenance is essential for safety and performance.
Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes can reach
an open flame, a spark or a source of extreme heat.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine; exhaust silencer, battery compartment and
petrol storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Do not leave containers
with grass cuttings in doors.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. For reasons of safety, do not use the
equipment with worn or damaged parts. Parts are to be replaced and not repaired. Parts
that are not of the same quality can damage the equipment and be dangerous for your
safety.
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors and when the engine is
cool.
Wear strong work gloves when removing and reassembling the blade.
Check the blade's balance after sharpening.
Check the self-closing guard and grass-catcher frequently for wear and deterioration.
Whenever the machine is to be handled, transported or tilted you must:
wear strong working gloves;
grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip, taking account of the weight and its
distribution.
