best MULCHING effect:
1. Use a high engine speed (full throttle).
2. Do not mow when the grass is wet.
6. For the best mowing results, the engine should
always be driven at full throttle.
3. Do not cut the grass too short. Not more than
1/3rd of the length should be cut off.
4. Ensure that the area under the mower casing is
always kept clean.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
5. Always use a well-sharpened blade.
The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges. This
can cause burn injuries.
CUTTING HEIGHT
Type I
Do not set the cutting height so low that
the blade(s) come into contact with
uneven ground.
Release the Start/Stop loop G (fig. 8) to stop the
engine.
The mower has single-lever control for adjusting
the cutting height. Pull the lever out, and set the
cutting height to one of the nine positions best
suited to your lawn (fig. 9).
Type II

REAR WHEEL DRIVE (*)
Type I
Should it be necessary to access the lower part,
only tilt the machine from the side shown in the
engine handbook; following the relative instruc-
tions.
Engage the drive by pressing the clutch loop J
towards the handle. Disengage the drive by releas-
ing the clutch loop J (fig. 8).
CLEANING
Carefully clean the machines with water after each
cut; remove the grass debris and mud accumulat-
ed inside the chassis to avoid their drying and thus
making the next start-up difficult.
Type II
Engage the drive by moving the clutch control M to
(fig. 7). Make sure the clutch control is always
moved fully either to one or the other position.
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.
MOWING TIPS
Before mowing the lawn, take care to remove any
stones, toys and other hard objects.
Remove the transmission casing by removing the
screws S (fig. 10) and clean around the transmis-
sion (*) and drive belts (*) with a brush or com-
pressed air once or twice a year.
A machine with the MULCHING system cuts the
grass, chops it finely and then blows it down into
the lawn.
Once every season, the drive wheels (*) should be
cleaned internally. Remove both wheels. Clean the
gear wheel and the wheel gear rim of grass and dirt
using a brush or compressed air (fig. 11).
The grass clippings need not be collected.
The following rules should be observed to give the
34

LUBRICATING DRIVE SHAFT (*)
when pushing the lawnmower. With the clutch
loop fully pressed in (position 2) it should not be
possible to push the mower. Unscrew the nipple
T until this position is achieved.
Once per season, the wedge on the drive shaft
should be greased. Remove the wheel (wheel cap,
screw and washer). Then remove the circlip and
washer so that the gear wheel can be removed
from the shaft. Lubricate the wedge with universal
grease.
Type II
Check the clutch function (fig. 16):
Reinstall the wedge (the wedge is installed differ-
ently on the right and left side, fig. 12-13). Install
the gear wheel so that the «L» faces out on the left
side and the «R» faces out on the right side
(machine viewed from the rear).
1. Push the mower forwards and backwards with
disengaged transmission.
2. Set the clutch control to the
position and
push the mower until the front wheels engage.
3. In this position, the spring H should be extend-
ed 6 mm from it’s unloaded position to provide
sufficient locking force in the transmission.
4. If the spring is not extended sufficiently, adjust
the wire nipple I at the handlebar.
BATTERY (*)
In normal use during the season, the battery is
charged by the engine. If the engine cannot be
started with the ignition key, it may be because the
battery is 'dead'.
5. First loosen the locking nut S and then adjust
the nipple I.
6. Set the clutch control to the
position and
check that the transmission is disengaged by
rolling the mower forwards and backwards.
Connect the battery charger (provided) to the bat-
tery, then connect the charger to a wall socket and
charge for 24 hours (fig. 14).
ADJUSTING DRIVE BELT (*)
The battery charger may not be connected directly
to the engine terminal. It is not possible to start the
engine with the charger as the power source and
the charger could be damaged.
Check the belt tension regularly. The drive belt is
correctly adjusted when the shoulder bolt K is cen-
tred in the front hole on the engine bracket (fig. 17).
Incorrect belt tension can bring about abnormal
vibrations in the handle (the belt is tensioned too
tightly) or the belt can start to slide (the belt is not
tensioned enough).
WINTER STORAGE
Remove the battery and store it fully charged (see
above) in a dry, cool place (between 0°C and
+15°C). At least once during the winter storage
period, the battery should be maintenance-
charged.
Adjust the drive belt as follows (fig. 17):
Stop the engine and remove the spark plug cable
from the spark plug.
Before the start of the season, the battery should
be charged once again for 24 hours.
Dismantle the transmission casing. Undo the screw
L. Pull the transmission forwards so that the belt is
tensioned and tighten the screw L.
The drive belt must be adjusted so that the shoul-
der bolt K is centred in the front hole on the engine
bracket.
ADJUSTING CLUTCH CABLE (*)
Type I
If the drive does not engage when the clutch loop
is pressed against the handle, or if the lawnmower
feels cumbersome or slow, this may be because
the clutch in the transmission is slipping. To rectify
this situation, adjust the clutch cable as follows
(with the engine off):
SHOCK-ABSORBER
Fig. 18. Check the shock-absorber and the insulat-
ing sleeves twice per season. Replace in the event
of damage or wear.
1. When the clutch loop is released, it should be
possible to push the mower backwards without
any resistance. If this is not the case, screw in
the nipple T until the mower can be pushed (fig.
15).
CHANGING BLADES
To replace the blade, undo the screw (fig. 19-20).
Fit the new blade so that the stamped logo is
turned up facing the blade holder (not facing the
grass).
2. When the clutch loop is pressed in approx. 2 cm
(position 1), there should be some resistance
35
ENGLISH
GB
GB
Reinstall as illustrated. Tighten the screw properly.
Tightening torque 40 Nm.
When replacing the blade, the blade screw should
also be replaced.
SHARPENING THE BLADES
Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet
method grinding, using a whetstone or a grind-
stone.
For safety reasons, the blades should not be
sharpened on an emery wheel. A very high temper-
ature could cause the blades to become brittle.
STORAGE
The same petrol must not remain in the tank for
more than one month.
Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in
a dry place.
SERVICING
Genuine spare parts are supplied by service work-
shops and by many dealers.
We recommend that you take the machine to an
authorised service station for annual servicing,
maintenance and inspection of safety equipment.
For service and spare parts, please contact the
dealer where the machine was purchased.
