SAFETY REGULATIONSTO BE FOLLOWED CAREFULLY
1) Read the instructions carefully. Get familiar with the con-
trols and 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 damage to the machine.
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
property.
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) WARNING: DANGER! Engine fuel is highly flammable:
– Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this pur-
pose.
– Refuel using a funnel and outdoors only. Do not smoke
while refuelling or whenever handling the fuel.
– Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap
of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running or
when the engine is hot.
– If fuel is spilled, 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 the vapour dispersed.
– Replace all fuel tanks and containers caps securely.
4) Substitute faulty silencers.
5) 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.
6) Before mowing, attach the discharge opening guards
(grass-catcher or stone-guard).
1) Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dan-
gerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
2) Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
3) If possible, avoid operating the equipment in wet grass.
4) Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
5) Walk, never run and do not allow yourself to be pulled
along by the lawnmower.
6) Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
7) Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
8) Do not mow on slopes of more than 20°.
9) Exercise extreme caution when pulling the lawnmower
towards you.
10)  Stop the blade if the lawnmower has to be tilted for
transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass,
and when transporting the lawnmower to and from the area
to be mowed.
11) Never operate the lawnmower with defective guards, or
without safety devices, such as the stone-guard and/or
grass-catcher, in place.
C) OPERATION 
B) PREPARATION 
A) TRAINING
EN12) Do not change the engine governor settings or over-
speed the engine.
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 starting the engine.
Start the engine on a flat surface that is free of obstacles
and tall grass.
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 spark plug wire:
– 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).
19) Stop the engine:
– Whenever you leave the lawnmower unattended. Remove
the key from models with electric starters.
– Before refuelling.
– Every time you remove or replace the grass-catcher.
– Before adjusting the grass cutting height.
20) Reduce the throttle before turning off the engine and
turn the fuel off when you have finished mowing, following
the instructions in the engine handbook.
21) 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) Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside a
building where vapour may reach a flame or a spark or a
source of extreme heat.
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in an enclosed
space.
4) To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, exhaust
silencer, battery compartment and fuel storage area free of
grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Do not leave containers
with grass cuttings in rooms.
5) Check the stone-guard and grass-catcher frequently for
wear and deterioration.
6) If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done out-
doors and when the engine is cool.
7) Wear strong work gloves when removing and re-
assembling the blade.
8) Keep the blade balanced during sharpening. All opera-
tions on the blade (dismantling, sharpening, balancing,
remounting and/or replacing) require a certain familiarity
and special tools. For safety reasons, these jobs are best
carried out at a specialized centre.
9) For reasons of safety, do not use the equipment with
worn 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, trans-
ported 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.

STANDARDS OF USE
NOTE – The machine can be supplied with some of the
components already fitted.
Remove the two lower knobs (1) and the screws (3)
from the side brackets of the handle.
Move the lower part of the pre-fitted handle (2) to its work-
ing position and fasten it with the lower knobs (1) and
screws (3) supplied, checking that the centring washers (4)
are positioned properly. Tighten the nuts (5).
Move the upper part (6) of the handle to its working posi-
tion and fasten it using the nuts and bolts (7) provided,
ensuring that the spiral (8) of the starter cable is positioned
correctly. 
Attach the control cables using the strap (9) in the position
shown.
Attach the wiring sheath (if fitted) using the straps (10) in
the positions shown.
Insert the frame (1) in the sack (2) and attach the
plastic profiles (3) using a screwdriver, as shown in the
drawing. 
With the plastic part (4) upside-down, fit the edge of the
cloth (5) right into the groove of the plastic part (4), starting
5–7 mm from the ends.
On models with an electric starter, connect the bat-
tery cable to the lawnmower’s general cable connection.
Untie the starter keys, fitted on the upper part of the han-
dle.
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).
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.
In power-driven models, draw the lever (1) towards
the handle for forward movement. The lawnmower stops
moving forward when the lever is released.
The height is adjusted using the special lever (1). 
MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT ONLY WHEN THE BLADE IS
STOPPED.
Lift the stone-guard and attach the grass-catcher
(1) correctly as shown in the drawing.
To start the engine, follow the instructions in the
engine booklet and then pull the blade brake lever (1)
towards the handle and give a sharp pull on the starter
cable knob (2). For models with an electric starter, turn the
starter key (3).
The lawn will look better if it is always cut to the
same height and in alternate directions.

1. FINISH ASSEMBLY
ENWhen 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.
IMPORTANT – Regular, careful maintenance is essen-
tial for keeping the safety level and original perform-
ance of the machine unchanged in time.
Store the lawnmower in a dry place.
1) Wear strong working gloves during any cleaning, main-
tenance 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 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.
4) Should it be necessary to access the lower part, only tilt
the machine from the side shown in the engine hand-
book; 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.
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 35-40 Nm.
By turning the nut (1), adjust the belt’s tension to
obtain the measurement shown (6 mm).
• For models equipped with the spring, regulate the
adjuster (2) to obtain the best length of the spring (with
the clutch engaged), which is 34,5 - 35,5 mm.
•  For models without the spring, regulate the adjuster (2) so
that the cable (3) is slightly loose, with the lever (4) at rest.
To recharge a flat battery, connect to the battery
charger (1) following the instructions in the battery mainte-
nance handbook. If the machine is to remain inactive for a
long period, disconnect the battery leads after making sure
that the battery is fully charged.
Should you have any doubts or problems, do not hesitate
to contact your nearest Service Centre or your Dealer.
