petrol engine.
The lawnmower is a garden tool and precisely a pedestrian controlled lawnmower. The machine
is essentially composed of an engine which drives a blade enclosed in a casing, equipped with
wheels and a handle. The operator is able to operate the machine and use the main controls,
always staying behind the handle at a safe distance from the rotating blade. If the operator leaves
the machine, the engine and cutting means will stop within a few seconds.
The lawnmower is manufactured according to the latest safety requirements. These include a
blade brake that stops the engine and blade when you let go of the OPC lever. Every precaution
is only effective when it is followed exactly.
Intended Use
This machine was designed and manufactured for cutting and collecting grass in gardens and
grassy areas, in areas in proportion to its cutting capacity, controlled by a pedestrian operator.
The presence of attachments or specific devices can prevent cut grass from being collected or
produce a mulching effect, depositing cut grass on the ground.
User Types
This machine is intended for use by consumers, i.e. non professional operators. The machine is
intended for “DIY” and domestic use only.
Improper Use
Any other usage not in keeping with the above mentioned ones may be hazardous and harm
persons and/or damage things. Examples of improper use may include, but are not limited to:

General Mowing Tips
Maintain a constant cutting height of 3-5cm. Do not shorten the grass to less than half its
original height.
1
2
Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary to raise the height of
cut to reduce pushing effort, prevent overloading of the motor and leaving clumps of grass
clippings.
3
It may also be necessary to reduce ground speed and/or push the lawnmower over the area
a second time. For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut by overlapping the pre-
viously cut path and mow slowly.
Recommended Mowing Schedule
Spring (March, April & May)
Mow once a week on a high to medium height setting.
Summer (June, July & August)
Mow twice a week under good growing conditions on a low setting. In dry conditions, mow once
a week on a medium to high height setting.
Autumn (September, October & November)
Mow once a week on a medium height setting.
Winter (December, January & February)
Mow as required on a high height setting.
