4.1 Blade maintenance
Each adjustment made to the blade is best if done at a specialised Centre
that has the most appropriate tools.
On this machine must be used blades with code shown in the table on
page 2.
Given product evolution, the above mentioned blades may be replaced in
time by others, with similar interchangeable and operating safety features.
Reassemble the blade (2) with the code facing the ground, following the
steps indicated in the illustration.
Tighten the central screw (1) using a torque wrench set to 35-40 Nm.
4.2 Battery recharging (where applicable)
• Electric key ignition models
To recharge a flat battery, connect it to the battery charger (1) following
the instructions in the battery maintenance manual.
Do not connect the battery charger directly to the engine terminal. It is
not possible to ignite the engine using the battery charger as a power
source, as it may get damaged.
If you do not use the lawnmower for a long period of time, disconnect
the battery from the engine wiring, making sure the charge level is good.
• Electric push-button ignition models
Read the engine instruction manual for instructions regarding autono-
my, recharging, reinstating and maintenance of the battery.
