[. . . ] Engine fuel is highly flammable: – Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose. 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. [. . . ] 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. € 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. 18 GB STANDARDS OF USE For instructions regarding the engine and the battery (if supplied), read the relevant manuals. 2 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). 3 The lawn will look better if it is always cut to the same height and in alternate directions. 4 When you have finishing mowing, release the brake lever (1) and disconnect the spark plug cap (2). WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO STOP before carrying out any type of work on the machine. FINISH ASSEMBLY NOTE – The machine can be supplied with some of the components already fitted. 1 Return the lower part of the handle, which is made up of two pre-assembled elements (1), to its working position and lock into place using the lower knobs (2). Attach the upper part (3) using the screws (4) supplied, ensuring that the spiral (5) of the starter cable is in the correct position. By loosening the knobs (2) the handle can be set at three different heights. With the plastic part (11) upside-down, fasten the frame (12) to the plastic part using the screws (13). Insert the frame (12) into the sack (14) and attach the plastic profile (15) with the help of a screwdriver, as shown in the drawing. Fit the edge of the cloth (16) right into the groove of the plastic part (11), starting 5-7 mm from the ends. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT – Regular, careful maintenance is essential for keeping the safety level and original performance of the machine unchanged in time. 1) Wear strong working gloves during any cleaning, maintenance 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. [. . . ] Cleaning, servicing and adjustment work is not covered by the guarantee. All repairs covered by the guarantee must be performed by a DOLMAR service centre. Responsibility On tools with engines by Briggs&Stratton, Honda, Tecumseh or Robin Subaru, the engine manufacturer or their authorised service centre is responsible for the engine only. [. . . ]
