placed and never repaired. Use origi-
nal replacement parts only: the use of
non-original and/or incorrectly fitted
parts will jeopardize the safety of the
machine, may cause accidents or per-
sonal injuries for which the Manufac-
turer is under no circumstance liable
or responsible.
Any adjustments or maintenance op-
erations not described in this manual
must be carried out by your Dealer or
a specialized Service Centre with the
necessary knowledge and equipment
to ensure that the work is done correct-
ly maintaining the machine's original
safety level. Any operations performed
in unauthorized centres or by unquali-
fied persons will totally invalidate the
Warranty and all obligations and re-
sponsibilities of the Manufacturer.
• After each use, remove the ignition key and
check for damage.
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
the equipment is in safe working condition.
Routine maintenance is essential for safety
and for maintaining a high performance level.
• Check that the cutting device screws are
properly tightened on a regular basis.
Wear work gloves when handling, dis-
assembling and reassembling the cut-
ting device.
Keep the cutting means well bal-
anced during sharpening. All work on
the cutting means (disassembly, sharp-
ening, balancing, reassembly and/or
replacing) are demanding jobs that re-
quire special skills as well as special
tools. For safety reasons, these jobs are
best carried out at a specialised centre.
• Check that the brakes work properly on
a regular basis. It is vital for brakes to
undergo regular maintenance and, where
necessary, repair work.
• Replace any instruction or warning
message stickers, if damaged.
• If the machine does not have mechanical
transport stops, the attachments must
always be placed on the ground when
the machine is parked, stored or left
unattended.

• Store the machine out of the reach of
children.
Do not store the machine with fuel
in the tank in an area where fuel va-
pours could reach a flame, a spark or a
strong heat source.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing in
an enclosed space.
• To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine,
muffler, battery compartment and petrol
storage area free of grass, leaves, or
excessive grease.
• To reduce the risk of fire, regularly check
the machine for oil and/or fuel leaks.
• If the fuel tank has to be emptied, this
should be done outdoors once the

within reach of children or unauthorised
persons. Always remove the ignition key
before doing any maintenance.
WARNING! - The acid contained in the
battery is corrosive. It could leak in
case of mechanical damage or over-
charging. Avoid inhalation and contact
with any part of the body.
Inhaling acid vapours causes damage
to mucous membranes and internal
organs. Seek medical attention imme-
diately.
WARNING! - Do not over-charge the
battery. Excessive charging can cause
it to explode causing the acid to leak.
WARNING! - Acid causes severe dam-
age to tools, clothing and other mate-
rials. Immediately rinse the affected
area with water.
Never short-circuit the battery termi-
nals. The resulting sparks could cause
a fire.
PAY ATTENTION to hydraulic compo-
nents. Escaping hydraulic fluid under
pressure can penetrate and severely
damage the skin, requiring immediate
medical attention.
