4.2 STARTING THE ENGINE
The engine must be started up as described
in the machine's Instructions Manual, always
being careful to uncouple any device (if
applicable) that is capable of making the
machine travel forwards or stop the engine.
IMPORTANT Do not work on slopes
exceeding 20° to avoid jeopardising
correct engine operation
IMPORTANT Make sure the battery is
properly inserted inside its housing when dealing
with battery start-up models (par. 5.3.3)

and dust from penetrating inside.
• Store the lawnmower (and the engine)
in a dry place, sheltered from the
elements and suciently ventilated.
4.5 PROLONGED DOWNTIME
If the engine is not going to be used for more than
30 days (for example, at the end of the season),
it will be necessary to take a few precautions
so that it will start back up again accordingly.
• Empty the fuel tank, to prevent deposits
from forming inside, by unscrewing the
cap (g. 3.A) of the fuel tank and collecting
all of the fuel in a suitable container. At
the end of this operation, remember to
screw the cap back on (g. 3.A) tightly.
• Remove the spark plug and pour about 3 cl
of clean engine oil into the spark plug hole,
then, having blocked the hole with a rag, run
the starter motor briey to turn the engine for
a few revs and distribute the oil over the inner
surface of the cylinder. Finally, replace the
spark plug without connecting the cable cap.
