- Tie your hair back if it is long.
Work area/Machine
- Thoroughly inspect the entire work area and remove anything that could be thrown by the machine or damage the cutting means/rotating units (stones, branches, iron wire, bones, etc.).
Internal combustion engines: fuel
⚠️ DANGER! The fuel is highly flammable.
- Keep the fuel in approved containers, in a safe place, away from any naked lights or heat sources.
- Keep the containers and storage area free of grass cuttings, leaves, or excessive grease.
-
Keep the containers out of the reach of children.
-
Do not smoke when filling up with fuel or when handling the fuel.
- Use a funnel to top up with fuel only in the open air.
- Do not inhale fuel fumes.
- Never remove the tank cap or add fuel while the engine is running or when the engine is hot.
- Open the fuel tank slowly to allow the pressure inside to decrease gradually.
- Do not approach the tank opening with a naked flame to check its contents.
- If you have spilled some fuel, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel has evaporated and fuel vapours have dissipated.
- Immediately clean up all traces of fuel spilt on the machine or on the ground.
- Replace caps of all fuel tanks and containers securely.
- Never start the machine in the same place in which you refilled it with fuel; the engine must be started in an area at least 3 metres from where you refuelled.
- If fuel is spilt on clothing, change clothing before starting the engine.
2.3 DURING OPERATION
Work Area
- Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can develop. All starting operations have to be effected in an open or well ventilated area. Always remember that exhaust gases are toxic!
- When starting up the machine, do not direct the silencer and therefore the exhaust fumes towards flammable materials.
- Do not use the machine in environments at risk of explosion, in the presence of flammable liquids, gas or powder. Electrical contacts and mechanical friction can generate sparks that can ignite the powder or vapours.
- Work only in daylight or with good artificial light in good visibility conditions.
- Keep persons, children and animals away from the working area. Instruct another adult to supervise any children in the vicinity.
- Avoid working with wet grass, in the rain and when there is a risk of a thunderstorm, especially lightening.
- Pay careful attention to uneven ground (hills, dips), slopes, hidden hazards and obstacles than could limit visibility.
-
Be very careful near ravines, ditches or embankments. The machine could overturn if a wheel slides over the edge or if the earth gives way.
-
Pay attention on sloping ground which requires particular care to prevent overturning or loss of control of the machine. The main reasons for loss of control are:
- Insufficient wheel grip
- Excessive speed
- Inadequate braking
– Type of machine unsuitable for its task
– Lack of awareness of the effect of ground conditions, especially slopes - Incorrect use as a towing machine.
Behaviour
- When working behind the wheel, do not become distracted and maintain the required level of concentration.
- Exercise caution when reversing or moving backwards. Look behind you to make sure there are no obstacles before and during operations in reverse gear.
- Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment:
– Use approved drawbar hitch points only when towing;
- Do not turn sharply. Take care when reversing;
- Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights whenever advised in the instructions manual.
- Pay attention when using the grass catcher and attachments that can alter the stability of the machine, especially on slopes.
• Always keep hands and feet away from the cutting means, when starting and when using the machine.
- Attention: the cutting means will continue to rotate for a few seconds after disengagement or after you have switched off the engine.
- Pay attention to cutting-means assemblies with more than one cutting means, as a rotating cutting means can trigger the rotation of the others,
- Keep away from the discharge opening.
- Do not touch the engine parts which heat up during use. Burns hazard.
- To avoid the risk of fire, do not leave the machine standing in high grass with the engine running.
⚠️ If something breaks or an accident occurs during work, turn off the engine immediately and move the machine away to prevent further damage; if an accident occurs with injuries or third parties are injured, carry out the first aid measures most suitable for the situation immediately and contact the medical authorities for any necessary health care. Carefully remove any debris which could cause damage or injury to persons or animals if ignored.
Use limitations
- Never operate the machine with guards damaged, missing or incorrectly assembled (grass catcher, side discharge guards rear discharge guards)
- Don't use the machine if the attachments/tools are not installed in their seats.
- Never disengage, deactivate, remove or tamper with the safety systems/microswitches installed.
- Do not strain the machine too much and do not use a small machine for heavy-duty work. If you use the right machine, you will reduce the risk of hazards and improve the quality of your work.
- The machine has not been approved for use on public roads. It must be used (as indicated by the highway code) in private areas closed to traffic.
Ensure regular maintenance and correct storage to maintain machine safety and high performance levels.
Maintenance
- Never use the machine with worn or damaged parts. Faulty or worn-out parts must always be replaced and never repaired.
- To reduce the risk of fire, regularly check the machine for oil and/or fuel leaks.
- Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving parts of the cutting means and fixed parts of the machine.
The noise and vibration levels shown in these instructions are the maximum levels for use of the machine. The use of an unbalanced cutting element, the excessive speed of movement, or the absence of maintenance have a significant influence on noise emissions and vibrations. Consequently, it is necessary to take preventive steps to eliminate possible damage due to high levels of noise and stress from vibration. Maintain the machine well, wear ear protection devices, and take breaks while working.
Storage
- Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank in an area where fuel vapours could reach a naked light, a spark or a strong heat source.
- To reduce fire risks, do not leave containers with debris inside a room.
2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Safeguarding the environment must be a relevant and priority aspect of machine use, of benefit to the community and the environment we live in.
- Avoid being a disturbance to the neighbourhood. Use this machine at reasonable times of the day only (not early morning or late evening when the noise could cause disturbance).
- Adhere strictly to the local regulations governing the disposal of packaging, oil, fuel, filters, damaged parts or any other element which may have an impact on the environment; this waste should not be disposed of along with standard household waste, but must be disposed of separately and sent to special waste disposal facilities for handling and recycling.
- Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the disposal of waste materials
- When the machine is withdrawn from service, do not dump it in the environment, but take it to a waste disposal facility in accordance with the local regulations in force.

- Adjust the pressure according to the values indicated in the "Technical Data" chart.
6.1.4 Preparing the machine before starting work
NOTE This machine can be used to mow lawns in a number of different ways; before starting work, prepare the machine based on how the lawn is to be mowed.
a. Prepare the machine for side cutting and discharge of the grass onto the floor (for models with side discharge only)
– Always make sure that the spring inside the deflector (Fig. 13.A) and the safety lever (Fig. 13.B, 14.B) operate correctly, holding it firmly in the lowered position.
b. Preparation for grass cutting and collection in the grass catcher (for rear collection models only)
– Fasten the grass catcher (fig. 15.A) onto the supports (fig. 15.B) and centre it up
with the rear plate. Centring is ensured by using the right bracket as lateral support.
- Make sure that the lower pipe of the grass catcher opening is attached to the pawl (fig. 15.C).
c. Prepare the machine for rear cutting and discharge of the grass onto the floor (for models with rear collection only)
- If you decide to work without the grass catcher, a rear discharge guard kit (fig. 16; chap. 15.5) is available upon request. This has to be attached to the rear plate as indicated in the instructions.
d. Preparation for mowing and mulching of grass
- If you decide to mow the grass, mulching it and leaving it on the grass, a "mulching" kit is available upon request (chap. 15.1). This has to be attached to the rear plate as indicated in the instructions.
6.1.5 Positioning the anti-scalp wheels
The anti-chipping wheels are used to reduce the risk of tearing up sections of lawn, which can occur when the edge of the cutting-means assembly drags over irregular ground. Position the wheels as indicated (par. 7.4).
6.2 SAFETY CHECKS
Run the following safety checks and check that the results correspond to those outlined on the tables.
⚠️ Always carry out the safety checks before use.
6.2.1 General safety check

⚠️ If any of the results fails to match the indications provided in the tables, do not use the machine! Contact a service centre to have it checked and repaired if necessary.
IMPORTANT Always bear in mind that the safety devices prevent the engine from starting if safety requirements have not been met. In these cases, once the start consent has been reinstated, the ignition key (fig. 10.A) must first be turned back to Of before the engine can be restarted.
6.3 USING ON SLOPES
Comply with the limits indicated in the "Technical Data" Tables ad in "fig. 19" regardless of the mowing direction.
Remember there is no such thing as a "safe" slope. Driving on grass slopes requires particular care. To prevent overturning or loss of control over the machine:
- Never mow across the face of the slope. Lawns on a slope have to be mowed moving up and down and never across them. When changing direction, take great care that the wheels facing the slope do not hit any obstacles (such as stones, branches, roots, etc.) that may cause the machine to slide sideways, tip over or make you lose control.
- Do not stop or start suddenly when going up or downhill;
- Shift to drive gear very gently paying particular attention to prevent the machine from tipping up.
- Reduce speed:
- before changing direction and during tight turns
- before facing a slope, particularly downhill
- Never switch to reverse gear to decrease speed when going downhill: this could cause loss of control of the machine, especially on slippery ground.
-
Always engage the parking brake before leaving the machine at a standstill and unattended.
-
For models with mechanical drive only Never ride the machine on slopes in neutral or with the clutch out! Always shift into a low gear before leaving the machine at a standstill and unattended.
- For models with hydrostatic drive only: Drive down slopes with your foot off the drive pedal to use the braking effect of the hydrostatic transmission when the transmission is not engaged.
6.4 STARTUP
- Open the fuel tap (fig. 20.A) (if provided).
- Sit in the operator's position.
- Put the drive into neutral («N») (par. 5.5; par. 5.7).
- Disengage the cutting means (par. 5.8).
- Engage the parking brake (par. 5.3).
- Shift the throttle control to maximum "hare" speed position (par. 5.2).
-
If cold starting: engage the choke (par. 5.2 / par. 5.2.1)
-
Insert the ignition key and turn to On to make electrical contact, then turn it to Start to start the engine.
- Release the ignition key once the engine has started.
- If cold starting: as soon as the engine ticks over regularly:
10a. Disengage the choke (par. 5.2 type "II"), shift the throttle control to maximum "hare" speed position.
10b. Disengage the choke (par. 5.2, type "I").
NOTE Using the choke when the engine is already warm can foul the spark plugs and cause the engine to run erratically.
- When the engine has started, shift the throttle control to the minimum «tortoise» speed position.
NOTE If there are engine starting problems, do not insist as you can risk running the battery flat and flooding the engine. Turn the key to the Off position, wait for a few seconds and then repeat the operation. If the malfunction persists, refer to the engine manual and chapter «14» in this manual.
6.5 OPERATION
6.5.1 Forward gear and riding without mowing
When moving the machine:
• disengage the cutting means (par. 5.8);
- bring the cutting-means assembly to the highest position (position «7»);
- shift the throttle control to a point midway between the «tortoise» and «hare» speed positions.
- For models with mechanical drive only:
- Press the pedal all the way down (par. 5.4) and shift the gear lever to 1st gear (par. 5.5).
- Hold the pedal down (fig. 10.1) then disengage the parking brake (par. 5.3).
- Slowly release the pedal which will turn from «brake» to «clutch» mode, thus operating the rear wheels (par. 5.4).
The pedal has to be released gradually, as a sudden engagement may cause the vehicle to tip over and the driver to lose control.
- Gradually reach the desired speed using the throttle and gear lever. To change gear, press the clutch halfway down (par. 5.4; par. 5.5).
IMPORTANT Gear must be engaged when the machine has stopped.
- For models with hydrostatic drive only:
-
Disengage the parking brake and release the brake pedal (par. 5.6).
-
Press the drive pedal (par. 5.7) in the "forward drive" direction and reach the required speed by gradually increasing pressure on the pedal and working the throttle.
⚠️ Drive can only be engaged following the procedure illustrated (par. 5.7 to prevent sudden engagement which may cause the vehicle to tip over and the driver to lose control, especially on slopes.
6.5.2 Braking
First reduce the machine's speed by reducing the engine's r.p.m., and then press the brake pedal (par. 5.4; par. 5.6) to slow down the machine until it stops.
For models with hydrostatic drive only:
The machine already slows down considerably by just releasing the drive pedal (par. 5.7)
6.5.3 Reverse gear
IMPORTANT Reverse must be engaged when the machine has stopped.
For models with mechanical drive only:
- Press the pedal (par. 5.4) until the machine comes to a stop;
- Shift the gear lever to "R" reverse (par. 5.5).
- Gradually release the pedal to engage the clutch and then begin moving in reverse.
For models with hydrostatic drive only:
- Press the pedal (par. 5.6) until the machine comes to a stop;
- start reversing by pressing the drive pedal in the "R" direction (par. 5.7).
6.5.4 Grass cutting
To operate with the machine proceed as described below:
- shift the throttle to the maximum speed position ("hare"); this position is always used when using the machine;
- bring the cutting-means assembly to the highest position;
- engage the cutting means (par. 5.8) only on grass lawns; avoid engaging them on stony ground or when the grass is very high;
- regulate the forward speed and the cutting height (par. 5.10) considering the conditions of the lawn (the height, density and dampness of the grass).
- start moving forwards on the grass very slowly and with utmost caution, as already described;
IMPORTANT To proceed in reverse gear with the cutting means engaged, it is necessary to press and hold the consent button (par. 5.9) so as not to cause the engine to stop.
Lower the speed whenever you note a drop in engine speed, since a forward speed that is too fast compared to the amount of grass being cut will never mow the grass well.
Disengage the cutting means and move the cutting-means assembly to the highest position:
– When moving between work areas
– When driving on grass free surfaces
– Every time it is necessary to overcome an obstacle.
6.5.5 Suggestions for maintaining a nice lawn
- To keep a lawn green and soft with a good appearance, it should be cut regularly. A lawn can be composed of different types of grass. If the lawn is cut frequently, grass and roots grow more vigorously, forming
a solid grassy bed. If the lawn is cut is less frequently, higher grass and weeds start growing (clover and daisies, etc.).
- It is always better to cut the grass when dry.
- The cutting means must be in good condition and well sharpened so that the grass is cut straight without a ragged edge that leads to yellowing at the ends.
- The engine must run at full speed, both to ensure a sharp cut of the grass and to get the necessary thrust to push the cuttings through the collector channel.
- The frequency of mowing should be in relation to the rate of growth of the grass, which should not be left to grow too much between one cut and the next.
- During hot and dry periods, the grass should be cut a little higher to prevent the ground from drying out.
- The best height of the grass on a well-kept lawn is approx. 4-5 cm. and with one mowing, you do not need to remove more than a third of the total height. If the grass is very tall, it should be cut twice in a twenty-four hour period. The first time with the cutting means at maximum cutting height, possibly reducing the cutting width and the second cut at the height desired (fig. 21).
- The appearance of the lawn will improve if you alternate the cutting in both directions (fig. 22).
- If the discharge chute tends to get blocked with grass, you should reduce the forward speed as it may be too high for the condition of the grass. If the problem persists, the probable causes are either badly sharpened cutting means or deformed fins.
- Be very careful when mowing near bushes or kerbs as these could distort the horizontal position of the cutting-means assembly and damage its edge as well as the cutting means.
6.5.6 Emptying the grass catcher (for rear collection models only)
NOTE The emptying of the grass catcher can only be done with the cutting means disengaged, otherwise the engine stops.
- Do not let the grass catcher become too full as this may block the collection channel.
-
When the grass catcher is full you will hear a warning sound:
-
disengage the cutting means (par. 5.8) and the audible signal will stop;
-
shift the throttle control to minimum "tortoise" speed position (par.
-
stop moving forward and switch to neutral (par. 5.5; par. 5.7);
-
engage the parking brake;
- stop the engine;
- pull out the lever (fig. 23.A - if fitted) or grasp the rear handle (fig. 23.A1) and tip up the grass catcher to empty it;
- close up the grass catcher so that it hooks onto the pawl (fig. 23.B).
6.5.7 Cleaning the discharge chute (for rear collection models only)
- Cutting very tall or wet grass, particularly at excessively high speed, can clog up the discharge chute. If it clogs, follow the instructions provided in chap. 7.4.2.
6.5.8 Mowing completed
When mowing has been completed:
- disengage the cutting means;
- decrease the engine's r.p.m.
- drive back with the cutting-means assembly in its highest position:
6.6 STOP
To stop the machine:
- shift the throttle lever to minimum "tortoise" speed position
To avoid backfire, leave the throttle in the minimum "tortoise" speed position for 20 seconds before switching off the engine.
- switch off the engine by turning the ignition key to Off;
- with the engine turned off, close the fuel tap (fig. 24.A) (if provided).
- remove the key from the ignition
IMPORTANT To keep the battery charged, do not leave the ignition key in the «on» or «headlights on» position when the engine is not running.
The engine may be very warm immediately after it is shut off. Do not touch the exhaust or adjacent parts. This can cause burn injuries.
6.7 AFTER OPERATION
- Allow the engine to cool before storing in an enclosed space.
- Clean (par. 7.4).
- Lower the cutting-means assembly, shift to neutral, engage the parking brake, turn off the engine and remove the
ignition key (checking that all moving parts are completely stationary): – whenever the machine is left unattended, the operator dismounts from the driving seat, or parks the machine;

8.2 CUTTING-MEANS ASSEMBLY / CUTTING MEANS
8.2.1 Aligning the cutting-means assembly
The cutting-means assembly should be properly adjusted to obtain an evenly mown lawn (fig. 32). If mowing is uneven, check the tyre pressure (par. 6.1.3).
If this is not sufficient to achieve an even cut, please contact your Dealer to adjust the alignment of the cutting-means assembly.
8.2.2 Cutting means
A badly sharpened cutting means pulls at the grass and causes the lawn to turn yellow.
All work on the cutting means (disassembly, sharpening, balancing, repairing, reassembly and/or replacing) are demanding jobs that require special skills as well as special tools. For safety reasons, these jobs are best carried out at a Specialised Centre.
⚠️ Make sure damaged, misshapen or worn cutting means are replaced as a whole unit, together with its own screws in place to preserve balance.
IMPORTANT Cutting means should be replaced in pairs, especially when there are marked differences in wear.
IMPORTANT Always use original cutting means bearing the code indicated in the "Technical Data".
Given product evolution, the cutting means listed in the "Technical Data" table may be replaced in time with others having similar interchangeable and operating safety features.
8.3 REPLACING OF FRONT / REAR WHEELS
8.3.1 Preparation
IMPORTANT Use a suitable lifting device, for example a scissor jack.
Before changing the wheels it is necessary to complete some preliminary operations:
- Remove all attachments.
- Position the machine on a solid and even surface that guarantees stability of the machine.
- Engage the parking brake;
- Stop the engine;
- Remove the key from the ignition;
- Position the jack in the lifting position near the wheel to be changed (par. 8.3.2; par. 8.3.3).
- Check that the jack is perfectly perpendicular to the ground.
8.3.2 Choice and positioning of the jack on the rear wheels
Position some wooden wedges (fig. 33.A) to the wheel base (fig. 33.B) to the side of the wheel to be changed (fig. 33.C).
For models with rear collection:
- The maximum possible jack height when closed is 110 mm. (fig. 33).
- Position the jack under the rear plate (fig. 34.A) at 180 mm from the side edge.
For side discharge models:
- The maximum possible jack height when closed is 110 mm. (fig. 35).
- Position the jack under the rear axle, in the point indicated in the diagram (fig. 36.A).
NOTE In this position the jack allows you to only raise the wheel to be changed.
8.3.3 Choice and positioning of the jack on the front wheels
- Position some wooden wedges (fig. 37.A) to the wheel base (fig. 37.B) behind the wheel to be changed (fig. 37.C).
- The maximum possible jack height when closed is 110 mm.
- Position a square 10 x 10 cm wooden wedge (fig. 38.B) on the jack (fig. 38.A).
NOTE The wooden wedge prevents damage to the front axle.
- Raise the jack so that the wedge rests against the chassis and structural parts (fig. 38.C).
NOTE During this phase use your hand to keep the wedge balanced correctly on the jack.
NOTE In this position the jack allows you to raise the entire front axle.
8.3.4 Changing the wheel
IMPORTANT Make certain the machine remains still and stable during the lifting process. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, lower the jack immediately, check and resolve any problems and lift the machine again.
- Remove the cover (fig. 39.A).
- Raise it enough to extract the wheel easily.
- Using a screwdriver, remove the snap ring (fig. 39.B) and the shoulder washer (fig. 39.C).
- Remove the wheel to be changed.
- Coat the axle (fig. 39.D) with grease.
- Mount the spare wheel.
- Carefully replace the shoulder washer and snap ring.
IMPORTANT Check that the two rear wheels are the same height (fig. 40.A) and that the difference between the external diameters of the two wheels (fig. 40.B) is no greater than 8-10 mm. On the contrary, to avoid uneven mowing, the cutting-means assembly must be aligned by an authorised service centre.
