(at least 8 times)
- Stand behind the handlebars. Move the operator

12
control lever positioned in front of the handlebars
rearwards so that the lever is resting against the
handlebars. Take hold of the starter handle firmly
with the other hand.
If possible, mow only when the grass is dry. If the grass is wet or excessively long,
perform two cutting passes. Make the first pass at maximum cutting height to avoid
overloading the mower. The second pass should be made at the required finished height.
If grass builds up beneath the mower’s chassis, stop the engine and remove the spark
plug’s cap before cleaning the underside of the cutter deck.
b. Self-propelling
The mower can be self-propelled when in use. When the transmission is operated, the
rear wheels turn automatically. Push and hold the traction bar forward.
Release this bar to stop this function.
c. Stopping
To stop the mower, release the operator control lever. The engine and the blade will stop
turning automatically.
If there is a build‐up of grass beneath the chassis, stop the engine, remove the spark
plug’s cap and wait until the engine has cooled before clearing the grass.
6. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Before working on the cutting system of the machine, switch off the engine and
remove the spark plug’s cap.
a. Cleaning the mower
- Cut grass is damp. Regular cleaning after each use will ensure better functioning of
the mower and reduce the risk of corrosion or seizure.
- Having finished mowing, allow the engine to cool then remove accumulated grass
clippings from and around the engine with a brush.
- Clean the grass collection bag annually with a brush or gentle spray of water.
- Disconnect the spark plug’s cap and tilt the mower on its side with the air filter and
carburettor uppermost.
- Remove any remaining cut grass from the cutting system with a scraper and a brush.
- Reposition the mower onto its four wheels.
- Pull the starter rope firmly until that the motor starts.

13
- Do not use a pressure washer or hot water to clean the mower. Be careful to avoid
soaking parts such as the engine, air cleaner, wheel bearings and metal fastenings.
Dry off the machine before storing by leaving it running for a few minutes on a flat,
clear surface to prevent corrosion or seizure.
b. Blade maintenance
WARNING: Wear gloves, turn off the engine and remove the spark plug before
proceeding.
The blade is made of hardened steel. To get a clean job, sharpen the blade frequently,
about every 25 hours of use. Make sure the blade is always well balanced.
Insert a small iron pin (2 or 3 mm in diameter) into the hole in the middle of the blade: it
must remain horizontal. If the blade does not stay horizontal, balance it by sharpening it
further on the side where it is leaning.
WARNING: Use only original spare parts. Poor quality replacement parts can cause
serious damage to your mower and affect your safety.
To remove the blade, loosen the screw, check the blade bracket, and replace all parts if
they are worn or damaged.
When reassembling the blade, make sure that the cutting edges are in the same direction
as the direction of rotation of the motor. The tightening torque of the blade screw should
be 3.7 kg * m / s 2 (37 Nm) and can be checked with a torque wrench.
c. Storing the mower
Store your mower in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from flames, sparks or heat
sources. If the storage area is accessible to children, immobilise the machine by
disconnecting the spark plug’s cap. Storing the mower beneath a tarpaulin or similar
cover is not recommended as it may cause a build ‐up of condensation resulting in
corrosion of the mower.
Extended shutdown and winter storage
Thoroughly clean the mower. Ideally, run the engine outdoors until the fuel tank is empty.
Alternatively, empty any remaining fuel using a fuel suction pump.
Dispose of discarded fuel safely and responsibly, remembering that petrol vapours can
cause explosion or fire. Run the engine until any remaining fuel is consumed. Allow the
engine to cool. Check the condition and cleanliness of the air cleaner. Remove the spark
plug from the engine and pour a tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder. Gently pull the
starter rope several times to turn over the engine, distributing the oil to protect the
cylinder over winter. Replace and tighten the spark plug.
At the start of the new season

14
Remove the spark plug and gently clean off any carbon deposits from the tip with a small
copper wire brush, finishing off with petrol. Allow the spark plug to dry. Pull the starter
rope several times to expel excess oil from the cylinder. Replace and tighten the spark
plug. Fill the fuel tank with unleaded petrol. Turn over the engine until it starts.
Before transporting the mower
Thoroughly clean the mower. Empty the fuel tank using a suction pump. Dispose of
discarded fuel safely and responsibly, remembering that petrol vapours can cause
explosion or fire. Run the engine until any remaining fuel is consumed.
Allow the engine to cool. Remove the grass collection bag. Loosen the quick release and
fold down the top section of the handles taking care not to bend the cables.
To avoid scratching the mower, insert corrugated cardboard or similar padding between
the upper and lower handlebars and the engine.
Due to the mower’s weight, use ramps or seek assistance when lifting or loading the
mower.
d. Mower maintenance
Cutting system
Before and after each mowing session, check that the blade, its attachment bolts and
drive shaft are not damaged or excessively worn. Never try to straighten a bent blade.
Replace a damaged, worn or bent blade as soon as possible. Use only genuine parts.
Excessive vibration when mowing is a good indication of a problem with the cutting
system.
WARNING: Vibration from a bent or damaged blade can cause costly damage to the
mower. Working with an excessively worn blade wastes fuel and can lead to injury if the
blade becomes detached from the machine.
Warning: there is a danger about moving blade. Always handle the blade when it is totally
stopped. Wear protective gloves.
Sharpening the blade
For best mowing results, have the edges sharpened and the blade balanced at least once
a year by a specialist service dealer or agent.
Removing the blade
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent possible injury when handling the blade.
Disconnect the spark plug cap and tilt the mower on its side with air filter and carburettor
side uppermost.
Holding the blade firmly in one hand, use a spanner or socket to loosen the blade screw.
Mounting the blade
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent possible injury when handling the blade.
Disconnect the spark plug cap and tilt the mower on its side with air filter and carburettor
side uppermost.
Check that all components (the blade, key, blade holder, screws and washers).are
present, clean and in good condition.
Position the blade on its support with the cooling fins facing the engine.
Check the correct alignment and matching of pads with the blade. The blade must be
positioned precisely on its stand.
Tighten the screws connecting all of the components. Make a final visual check that all
parts are present and aligned before tightening the fixing bolt very firmly with a wrench
while holding the blade firmly in one hand (NB wear suitable gloves).
Spark plug
Check the spark plug initially after the first five hours of mower use. Thereafter,
maintenance of the spark plug should take place every 25 hours.
Remove the spark plug cap using a rotary motion and then remove the spark plug with
the wrench provided.
Clean off any carbon deposits using a copper brush and check the electrode gap with a
feeler gauge.

15
Replace and retighten the serviced spark plug and replace the cap.
If the spark plug is worn or damaged, replace with a new spark plug of the same or
suitable type for the engine.
Air Filter
An air filter in poor condition will reducethe performance and life of the enginewhile
making it harder to start. Regular checks are therefore essential, especiallywhen using
the mower in dusty conditions. Check and clean the air filterevery 25 hours of use or
more often ifthe engine is used in a dusty environment.
Remove the air box lid and carefully remove the foam filtercartridge. Clean the cartridge
in a small bowl of warm water containing afew drops of washing up liquid until it is
perfectly clean and free from alltraces of grease and dust. Rinse the filter cartridge in
clean water and thensqueeze gently to remove most of the water. Let it air dry until it
iscompletely dry.
WARNING: Never clean the foam cartridge in petrol, white spirit or other solvents. These
products will degrade the filter cartridge.
Clean the cover and inside of the air box with a clean lint ‐free cloth. Apply a uniform
layer of oil to the outside of the cartridge filter with a brush (you can use clean engine oil
for this). Insert the filter cartridge into its housing and replace the air box lid, ensuring that
each component is in place and properly installed. If the filter cartridge is damaged or is
very dirty, replace it using a genuine part.
WARNING: Do not twist the cartridge to clean foam, as you could damage it. This mower
is equipped with a dual filtration system comprising a foam pre‐filter and a cartridge filter
paper.
The maintenance of a foam pre ‐filter is identical to that of a foam cartridge filter, as
described above. The cartridge filter paper should be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. If it
is dirty or contaminated with oil or petrol, replace it.
Clean the cover and inside of the air box with a clean cloth. Evenly apply a thin layer of oil
to the outside of the cartridge filter with a brush (you can use clean engine oil for this).
Replace the filter cartridge in its housing and then replace the lid of the air box, ensuring
that each component is in place and properly installed.
Adjusting the transmission cable
In its transmission‐engaged position, the mower’s advance lever is pushedfully towards
the handlebar. An incorrectly‐adjusted transmission cable cancause premature wear to
the mower’s drive system.
If the transmission cable is too tight, it will be difficult to move the advancelever towards
the handlebars. Conversely, if the transmission cable is not tightenough, the transmission
will function poorly and will lack power.
To adjust the tension of the cable transmission,increase or reduce the length of the
adjustmentdevice using the key. Check the effectivenessof the transmission and the
resistance of the lever.
Once proper adjustment has been reached, securethe adjustment device by tightening
the lock nuts.
