SAFETY REGULATIONSTO BE FOLLOWED CAREFULLY
1) Read the instructions carefully. Get familiar with the con-
trols and the proper use of the equipment. Learn how to stop
the engine quickly.
2) Only use the lawnmower for the purpose for which it was
designed, i.e. for cutting and collecting grass. Any other use
can be hazardous, causing injury or damage to people
and/or property.
3) Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these
instructions to use the lawnmower. Local regulations may
restrict the age of the operator.
4) Never use the lawnmower:
– When people, especially children, or pets are nearby;
– If the operator has taken medicine or substances that can
affect his ability to react and concentrate.
5) Remember that the operator or user is responsible for
accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their prop-
erty.
1) While mowing, always wear sturdy footwear and long
trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or
wearing open sandals.
2) Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be
used and remove all objects which may be thrown by the
machine or damage the cutter assembly and the engine
(stones, sticks, metal wire, bones, etc.).
3) Before use, always inspect the machine, especially the
condition of the blades, and check that the screws and cut-
ting assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or
damaged blades and screws in sets to preserve balance.
4) Before mowing, attach the discharge opening guards
(grass-catcher or stone-guard).
5) WARNING: DANGER! Damp and electricity do not go
together:
– cables must be handled and wired when dry
– never allow contact between an electric socket or cable
with a wet area (puddles or damp grass);
– connections between cables and sockets must be of the
waterproof type. Only use extension cables with moulded-on
waterproof or approved sockets available commercially.
– power the machine using a residual current device (RCD
Residual Current Device) with max. 30 mA tripping current.
6) The power supply cables must not be of lower quality than
the H05RN-F or H05VV-F type with minimum cross-section
size of 1.5 mm2
and max. 25 m long.
7) Attach the cable onto the cable clamp before starting the
machine.
8) The permanent wiring of any electrical device to the mains
must be carried out by a qualified electrician, in accordance
with electrical regulations in force. Incorrect wiring may
cause severe injury or death.
1) Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
2) Avoid operating the equipment on wet grass or in the rain.
3) Never go over the electric cable with the lawnmower.
While cutting, the cable should always be pulled behind the
lawnmower and always from the area of grass already cut.
Use the cable clamp as described in this manual to prevent
the cable from disconnecting by accident. Ensure that it is
properly inserted without forcing into the power socket.
4) Never pull the lawnmower by its power cable or pull the
cable to remove the plug. Do not expose the cable to
sources of heat or let it come in contact with oil, solvents or
sharp objects.
5) Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
6) Walk, never run and do not allow yourself to be pulled
along by the lawnmower.
7) Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
8) Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
C) OPERATION 
B) PREPARATION
A) TRAINING
EN9) Do not mow on slopes that are too steep.
10) Exercise extreme caution when pulling the lawnmower
towards you.
11) Stop the blade if the lawnmower has to be tilted for trans-
portation when crossing surfaces other than grass, and
when transporting the lawnmower to and from the area to be
mowed.
12) Never operate the lawnmower with defective guards, or
without safety devices, such as the stone-guard and/or
grass-catchers, in place.
13) On power-driven models, disengage the drive clutch
before starting the engine.
14) Start the engine carefully, following the instructions and
keeping feet well away from the blade. 
15) Do not tilt the lawnmower when switching on the engine
unless it is strictly necessary for start-up. In this case, do not
tilt it more than is strictly necessary and only lift the part fur-
thest away from the operator. Check that both hands are
positioned correctly before lowering the lawnmower.
16) Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
17) Never pick up or carry a lawnmower while the engine is
running.
18) Stop the engine and disconnect the power supply cable:
– before carrying out any work underneath the cutting deck
or before unclogging the chute;
– before checking, cleaning or working on lawnmower;
– after striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawnmower for
damage and make repairs before restarting and operating
the lawnmower;
– if the lawnmower starts to vibrate abnormally, find and
remove the cause of the vibration immediately;
– whenever you leave the lawnmower unattended.
– when transporting the equipment.
19) Stop the engine:
– every time you remove or replace the grass-catcher.
– before adjusting the grass cutting height.
20) When mowing, always keep to a safe distance from the
rotating blade. This distance is the length of the handle.
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equip-
ment is in safe working condition. Regular maintenance is
essential for safety and performance.
2) To reduce the fire hazard, keep the lawnmower, especially
the engine, free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Do not
leave containers with grass cuttings in rooms.
3) Check the stone-guard and grass-catcher frequently for
wear and deterioration.
4) Periodically check the electric cables and replace them if
they are damaged or if the insulation has been damaged.
Never touch a badly insulated cable if it still connected to the
power supply. Remove the cable from the socket before tak-
ing any action.
5) Wear strong work gloves when removing and reassem-
bling the blade.
6) Keep the blade balanced during sharpening. All operations
on the blade (dismantling, sharpening, balancing, remount-
ing and/or replacing) require a certain familiarity and special
tools. For safety reasons, these jobs are best carried out at
a specialized centre.
7) For reasons of safety, do not use the equipment with worn
cables or damaged parts. Parts are to be replaced and not
repaired. Use genuine spare parts (blades should always
bear the symbol  ). Parts that are not of the same quality
can damage the equipment and be dangerous for your safe-
ty.
1) Whenever the machine is to be handled, raised, transport-
ed or tilted you must:
- wear strong working gloves;
- grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip, tak-
ing account of the weight and its distribution.
- use an appropriate number of people for the weight of the
machine and the characteristics of the vehicle or the place
where it has to be placed or collected.

1. FINISH ASSEMBLY
ENIn 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.
Lift the stone-guard and attach the grass-catcher
(1) correctly as shown in the drawing.
Start the engine by pressing the safety push-button
(2) and pulling the switchgear lever (1).
While cutting, ensure that the electric cable is
always behind you and on the area of grass already cut.
The lawn will look better if it is always cut to the same
height and in alternate directions.
When you have finishing mowing, release the lever
(1). FIRST disconnect the cable extension from the supply
socket (2) and THEN from the side of the lawnmower’s
switchgear (3). 
WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO STOP before carrying out any
type of work on the machine.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Should the motor stop during use through overheating,
wait about 5 minutes before re-starting.
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) Remove the grass debris after each cut and mud
accumulated inside the chassis to avoid their dry-
ing and thus making the next start-up 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.
All operations on the blade should be carried out at
a specialized centre.
Note for specialized centres: Reassemble the blade (2) as
shown in the drawing and tighten the central screw (1)
using a torque wrench set to 16-20 Nm.
Do not use forced water and avoid wetting the
motor or the electrical components.
In the power-driven models, regulate the adjuster
(1) so that the wire (2) is slightly loose, with the lever (3) at
rest.
Should you have any doubts or problems, do not hesitate
to contact your nearest Service Centre or your Dealer.
