Fill the fuel tank only outdoors and before starting the engine. Do not smoke when filling
the fuel tank or handling fuel.
Never open the fuel tank cap and never add fuel while the engine is running or when it
is hot.
If fuel has spilled, do not start the engine any further, move the tool away from where the
fuel has been spilled, and be careful not to create a spark or flame until the fuel vapors
have dissipated.
Fully close all fuel tank and fuel canisters.
Before tilting the mower to maintain the blade or drain the oil, empty the fuel tank.
WARNING: Never fill the fuel tank indoors, while the engine is running, or before the
engine has cooled down for at least 15 minutes after use.
CAUTION: Do not use unapproved gasoline, such as E15 and E85. Do not mix the oil
with gasoline or modify the engine to operate with alternative fuels. The use of
unapproved fuels will damage the engine parts and will void the engine warranty. To
protect the fuel system from scale formation, add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel. All fuels
are not identical. If startup or performance problems occur, change supplier or fuel
brand.
Fuel must meet the following criteria:
- Clean, new and lead-free gasoline.
- A minimum octane rating of 87/87 AKI (91 RON). For use at high altitudes, see below
- A gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol is acceptable.
- Remove the fuel tank cap. Add fuel.
- Close the fuel tank with the cap.
Do not overfill. Wipe off any fuel that has overflowed before starting the engine.
a. Engine oil
Recommended oil: We recommend the use of high quality detergent oil classified for SF,
SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.

11
Filling oil tank

- Fill directly the oil in the tank. Do not overfill.
- Close the oil tank. Wipe any spillage.
Checking the oil level
- Check the oil level when the engine is off and horizontal.
- Remove the plug / dipstick from the oil tank and
wipe it off.
- Insert the oil tank plug / dipstick into the tank neck
as shown, without screwing it in, and then remove
it to check the oil level.
- If the oil level is near or below the lower limit of the
dipstick, remove the dipstick and fill the
recommended oil reservoir up to the upper limit of
the dipstick (bottom edge of the dipstick). Do not
overfill.
- Replace the oil tank plug / dipstick.
5. USE
a. Starting the tool
Before starting and using the mower, check for the presence and operation of safety
devices. Also, check the condition of the blade and its securing bolt. If necessary, replace
or repair defective items. Use only genuine original parts.
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.
- Slide the throttle lever to and for several times to ensure that it is moving smoothly and
correctly.
- Start the mower in a clear, level area. Do not start the engine if the cutting blade is
resting on rough and uncut grass as this may cause difficulties at start‐up.
- For a cold start, move the throttle lever to the position marked: START
- For a hot start, move the lever to the position marked: RUN

12
- Stand behind the handlebars. Move the operator 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.
- Pull back the starter until you feel resistance and then pull the handle firmly and briskly
to turn the engine
- Repeat the above procedure as necessary until the engine starts.
- When starting from cold, gradually move the throttle lever to the full throttle position
after a few moments of running.
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.
- 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.

14
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
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

15
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.
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 reduce the performance and life of the engine while making
it harder to start. Regular checks are therefore essential, especially when using the mower
in dusty conditions. Check and clean the air filter every 25 hours of use or more often if the
engine is used in a dusty environment.
Remove the air box lid and carefully remove the foam filter cartridge. Clean the cartridge in
a small bowl of warm water containing a few drops of washing up liquid until it is perfectly
clean and free from all traces of grease and dust. Rinse the filter cartridge in clean water
and then squeeze gently to remove most of the water. Let it air dry until it is completely 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.

16
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 pushed fully towards
the handlebar. An incorrectly‐adjusted transmission cable can cause premature wear to
the mower’s drive system.
If the transmission cable is too tight, it will be difficult to move the advance lever towards
the handlebars. Conversely, if the transmission cable is not tight enough, the transmission
will function poorly and will lack power.
To adjust the tension of the cable transmission, increase or reduce the length of the
adjustment device using the key. Check the effectiveness of the transmission and the
resistance of the lever.
Once proper adjustment has been reached, secure the adjustment device by tightening the
lock nuts.
