*(1) Replace the oil every 25 hours if the engine is working at full load or at high temperatures.
*(2) Clean the air lter more often if the machine is working in dusty areas.
For the operations that are not difcult for the nal
user the assistance centre must maintain the mo-
tor in perfect efciency, in accordance with two
intervention lines:
- Tuning the engine whenever possible.
- Recommending the client a routine maintenan-
ce program at set intervals (e.g. at the end of the
season or before a long period of inactivity).
4.2. Engine tuning program
As part of general engine tuning or any intervention
on the lawn tractor, it is recommended that the Ser-
vice Centre performs a series of operations aimed
at maintaining the engine’s efciency.
Tuning should involve:
- external blowing and cleaning the cylinder
head, cylinder and mufer by removing any
remains of grass and mud;
- checking the oil level, topping up or replacing
parts if necessary;
- inspecting the condition of the starter rope and
checking that it functions correctly [ 6.2];
- cleaning and oiling the air lter [ 5.1];
- emptying and cleaning the fuel tank and che-
cking the breather pipe [ 5.2];
- adjusting minimum and maximum speeds [
8.1 and 8.3];
- inspecting the condition of the spark plug; che-
cking the distance between the electrodes [
10.1];
- tightening the screws [ 11.2];
- functional test [ 4.3].
Should the checks and adjustments fail to achieve
a satisfactory result, refer to chapter [ 15] for
troubleshooting.

4.3. Functional test
A functional test needs to be carried out at the
end of each servicing operation, to check that the
operations made are effective. The test must be
performed in compliance with the safety regula-
tions regarding the use of the lawnmower on which
the engine is installed.
The functional test is carried out as follows:
a. Refuelling and checking the supply system
When you have refuelled the tank with new petrol,
check the seal of the tank, the cap and the car-
burettor pipe.
b. Cold starting test
With the throttle control in “CHOKE”, start the engine
a few times to check it runs normally.
c. Check the engine rpm
When the engine is hot enough, check the engine
speed with the throttle control set to “SLO” and
“FAST”; the readings should be equal to the speci-
cations [ 3.2].
d. Hot start test
With the engine hot and the throttle control set to
“SLOW”, start the engine a few times to check it
runs normally.
If all of these operations have a positive result, the
engine can be considered fully serviceable and be
returned to the client.

5. TANK AND SUPPLY
IMPORTANT: Carefully read the information below before commencing any intervention.
General Information
The fuel supply system comprises the petrol tank connected to the carburettor by a pipe; a mesh lter at
the bottom of the tank prevents deposits and impurities from reaching the carburettor.
The supply to the carburettor oat chamber is caused by gravity and the volume of petrol taken from the
tank as the engine runs is compensated by a breather pipe in the cap.
See the relevant section [ 15] for advice on resolving problems due to the malfunctioning of the petrol
supply system.
WARNING: All interventions on the supply system must be performed in safe conditions, therefore:
- do not smoke;
- workinaventilatedenvironmentawayfromnakedamesorunprotectedsourcesofheat;
- Collect any remaining petrol by positioning a suitable container under the engine, avoiding soiling the
work bench;
- remove all traces of spilt petrol immediately;
- check you have connected the pipes before pouring petrol back into the tank.

pulley to the ywheel (and the engine shaft) is transmitted by a pair of hooks. The rope is returned and
rewound by a spiral spring.
See the relevant section [ 15] for advice on resolving problems due to the malfunctioning of the star-
ting system.
6. STARTING SYSTEM
6.1. Removing the starter assembly
1 - To get access to the starter assembly (1), the
cover (2) must be removed by unscrewing the
three nuts (3).
2 - Ret the starter assembly (1) by tightening the
cover nuts (3) to the torque indicated.
6.2. Replacing the rope
1 - Remove the starter assembly [ 6.1].
2 - Keep hold of the pulley (4) and slowly unwind
(clockwise) the entire rope (5) to gradually release
the return spring.
If the rope breaks, the spring will be already relea-
sed and you will only have to unwind the rope.
3 - Undo or cut the knot at the end of the rope
(5) and remove the section still attached to the
pulley.

6. STARTING SYSTEM
4 - Insert one end of the rope (5) (ø 3.5mm - length
2500mm), through the guide in the ventilation grille,
into the hole in the pulley (4), and fasten it by tying
a knot.
5 - Insert the other end of the rope into the grip (6)
and fasten it with a knot.
6 - Rotate the pulley (4), without winding the rope
onto it, through about 6 complete turns anti-
clockwise in order to load the spring. Carefully
release the pulley to allow the rope to rewind itself
completely onto the pulley.
7 - Check that the pulley rotates freely.
8 - After pulling the entire length of the rope, check
that the pulley (4) is able to complete another 2-3
turns before compressing the spring.
9 - Ret the starter assembly [ 6.1].
6.3. Replacing the hooks
1 - Remove the starter assembly [ 6.1].
2 - Undo the screw (7) clockwise and remove the
cover (8), setting aside the spring and washer.
Take care that the pulley (4) does not slide out of
its housing.
NOTE: The screw (7) has a left-handed
thread and therefore should be unscrewed
clockwise.
3 - Move the return springs (9) gently out of the way,
rotate the hooks (10) clockwise and remove them.
NOTE: Always replace the complete set
consisting of hooks, return springs, cover and
screw, as a unit.
4 - When tting, tighten the screw (7) to the torque
indicated.
5 - Ret the starter assembly [ 6.1].
