On some models: connect the engine brake cable (8) by attaching the wire terminal (9) to the hole on the control lever (10). Fasten the cable support (8a) to the handle using the nuts and bolts (11) as shown. Attach the control cables using the clamps (12). By loosening the knobs (2) the handle can be set at two different heights.

1.2a For a rigid grass-catcher:

Carefully detach the plate (1) and washers (2) from the top of the grass-catcher (3). Eliminate the washers (2) and fit the plate (1) onto the top of the grass-catcher (3) so that it clicks into place. Assemble the two parts of the grass-catcher (3) and (4), making sure that the hooks are fully locked into place and fasten them using the screws supplied (5). 1.2b For a plastic and cloth grass-catcher: Insert the frame (15) in the grass-catcher (17) and attach the plastic bars (18) using a screwdriver, as shown in the drawing. Fit the edge of the cloth (19) right into the groove of the plastic part (13), starting 5-7 mm from the ends. 1.3 On models with an electric starter, connect the battery cable to the lawnmower’s general cable connection.

2. DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS

2.1 The throttle (where fitted) is controlled by the lever (1) and positioned as shown on the relative plate. Some models have a fixed speed, and therefore no need of a throttle.

2.2 The blade brake is controlled by the lever (1), which should be held against the handle when starting and using the lawnmower. The engine stops when the lever is released.

2.3 In the power-driven models, pull the lever (1) towards the handle for forward movement. The lawn-mower stops moving forward when the lever is released. 2.4 The cutting height is adjusted using the levers (1). On some models, remove the brake cover (2) and unscrew the pin (3) using the wrench (4) provided; fit the wheels into the required hole (5) and fully tighten the pin (3) using the wrench (4). The four wheels must be at the same height. MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT ONLY WHEN THE BLADE IS STOPPED.

3.1 Lift the stone-guard and attach the grass-catcher (1) correctly as shown in the drawing. 3.2 To start, follow the instructions in the engine manual, pull the blade brake lever (1) against the handle and firmly pull the starter cable knob (2). If the model has electric ignition pull the blade brake lever (1) against the handle and turn the starter key (3). 3.3 The lawn will look better if it is always cut to the same height and in alternate directions. LAWN CARE RECOMENDATIONS Each type of grass has different features and may thus require different ways to care for the lawn; always read the instructions on seed boxes for mowing height for the growth conditions in the work area. Keep in mind that most grass is made up of a stem and one or more leaves. If leaves are fully cut, the lawn is damaged and growth is more difficult. The following indications generally apply: – too low a cut causes grass tears and uprooting, with a “spotted” aspect; – in the summer, cutting must be higher to avoid the ground from drying; – do not cut wet grass; this could reduce blade efficiency due to sticky grass and tear the lawn; – for particularly high grass, initially mow at maximum admitted machine height followed by a second mow after two or three days.

3.4 When you have finishing mowing, release the brake lever (1) and disconnect the spark plug cap (2). Remove the starter key (3) (where fitted). WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO STOP before carrying out any type of work on the machine.

4. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT – Regular, careful maintenance is essential for keeping the safety level and original performance of the machine unchanged in time.

Store the lawnmower in a dry place. 1) Wear strong working gloves during any cleaning, maintenance or adjustment operation on the machine. 2) Carefully clean the machines with water after each cut; remove the grass debris and mud accumulated inside the chassis to avoid their drying and thus making the next startup difficult. 3) The paintwork on the inside of the chassis may peel off in time due to the abrasive action of the cut grass; in this case,

intervene promptly by touching up the paintwork using a rustproof paint to prevent the formation of rust that would lead to corrosion of the metal.

4) Should it be necessary to access the lower part, only tilt the machine from the side shown in the engine handbook; following the relative instructions. 5) Do not drip petrol onto the plastic parts of the motor or the machine to prevent damaging them and remove all traces of spilt petrol immediately. The warranty does not cover damage to plastic parts caused by petrol.

4.1 Each intervention on the blade is best if conducted at a specialised Centre that has the most appropriate tools.

Only blades with the following codes must be used on this machine: 81004360/3 (for model 41) 81004365/3 (for model 46) 81004381/1 (for model 53) Blades must always be marked . Given the product evolution, the above mentioned blade may be replaced in time by others, with similar interchangeable and operating safety characteristics. Reassemble the blade (2) with the code and markings facing the ground, following the order indicated in the illustration. Tighten the central screw (1) using a torque wrench set to 3540 Nm.

4.2 To recharge a flat battery, connect to the battery charger (1) following the instructions in the battery maintenance handbook.

Do not connect the battery charger directly to the engine terminal. It is not possible to start the engine using the battery charger as a power source, as it may get damaged. If the machine is to remain inactive for a long period, disconnect the battery leads after making sure that the battery is fully charged.

5. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Environmental protection should be a priority of considerable importance when using the machine, for the benefit of both social coexistence and the environment in which we live.

– Try not to cause any disturbance to the surrounding area. – Scrupulously comply with local regulations and provisions for the disposal of waste materials after cutting. – Scrupulously comply with local regulations and provisions for the disposal of pakagings, oils, petrol, batteries, filters, damaged parts or any elements which have a strong impact on the environment; this waste must not be disposed of as normal waste, it must be separated and taken to specified waste disposal centres where the material will be recycled. – At the time of decommissioning, do not pollute the environment with the machine, hand it over to a disposal centre, in accordance with the local laws in force.

6. ACCESSORIES WARNING: For your safety it is strictly prohibited to fit any other accessory other than those included in the following list, they have been exclusively designed for the model and type of machine you are using.

6.1 Kit “Mulching” (if not supplied)
