PRELIMINARY PREPARATION
AND CHECKS
SAFETY
B9
BALANCING THE MACHINE
Attach the brushcutter as
[1]
illustrated [1].
Once the machine is in place, it is
essential to check that it is
correctly balanced. This check
must be performed with the cutting
attachment tted on the appliance and
with the fuel tank half-full.
Adjust the length of the harness so that the cutting attachment is
parallel to, and in contact with, the ground.
When the machine is equipped with a grass-cutting disc, the disc
must be tted with the stabilizer (see page 4).
Correct balancing is obtained when the stabilizer just gently touches
the ground [2].

It must be possible to raise the cutting attachment off the ground
with only a slight effort on the handles. If adjustment is required,
move the attachment point [4] forwards if the cutting attachment
feels too heavy or rearwards if it feels too light. Loosen the bolts
with the Torx wrench [3] supplied to move the harness attachment
point to the desired position.

CAUTION:
• Do not adjust the handle beyond the black line [11] as indicated by
the arrow mark, when using the brushcutter with a metal disk blade
for your safety and comfortable use.
• UEET type: be careful not to pull the throttle cable too tight when
moving the handle [5]. Check that the throttle trigger operates
smoothly.
When you have found the ideal position, check the balance again
and adjust if necessary.
Then securely tighten the bolts to lock the handle in position. For
reference, the standard adjustments are as follows for the specied
types of brushcutter:

FILLING THE FUEL TANK
SAFETY
B3
C12
The pressure inside fuel tanks
may increase when the
ambient temperature rises.
The cap should be removed
with care to avoid any
splashing of fuel. Fuel should
be stored in a cool place, for
short periods of time, and
must never be left in direct
sunlight.

Tank capacity
0,58 l (580 cc) 0,63 l (630 cc)
Recommended fuel Premium unleaded
CAUTION:
• Clean the fuel tank cap and its edges to prevent foreign bodies
from entering the tank.
• Fill the fuel tank with a suitable funnel or a jerrycan with a suitable
spout.
• For easy lling, place the machine in the operating position.
• Make sure that the machine remains in a stable position
throughout this operation so that it does not fall over.
FUEL STORAGE
NOTE :
• Petrol will oxidize and deteriorate in storage.
Old petrol will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that
clog the fuel system. If the petrol in your engine deteriorates
during storage, you may need to have the carburetor and other
fuel system components serviced or replaced.
• Ensure that you use containers or
drums specically designed for
hydrocarbons [10]. This will
prevent polluting the fuel through
the dissolution of the container
walls, which will lead to poor
functioning of the engine.
• Store the fuel in a dark place, in a
room at constant temperature
(avoid garden sheds).
• The warranty does not cover a blocked carburetor or valves
jammed by old or polluted fuel.
• The quality of unleaded petrol alters very quickly (2 to 3 weeks in
some cases). Do not use fuel more than 1 month old. Store the
absolute minimum required for your monthly consumption.
