Mowing tips
Best results are achieved when no more than 1/3 of the height
of the grass is cut off. The cutting deck shoulde be level
under all conditions; if long grass must be cut, use highest
cutting height for first mowing. If you want the grass shorter,
then recut to the lower height. If cut too short, the grass will
expend more energy for development of new leaves and less
for root strengthening and will be more subjected to burning.
On the other hand, if allowed to grow too long, the lower part
will be shaded and will discolor. Dispersed clippings mat to
form thatch which prevents proper growth; to prevent grass
disease from thatch, bagging is always recommended,except
in the case of mulching. All ACTIVE mower are designed to
allow immediate change of function: cutting and bagging at
the same time or cutting only (this is recommended only
when grass is high) or mulching.
MAINTENANCE
6)
ATTENTION!
Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire
before reparing.
1
Check the blade and the engine mounting bolts at frequent
intervals for proper tighness.
2
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working conditions.
3
When the grasscatcher is used on your mower, check
the catcher often for damage. Used only recommended
catcher. Replace with new bag if loose seams or tears
are evident.
4
Never store the equipment with gasoline in the tank inside
a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS
7)
ATTENTION!
Srop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire
before reparing.
Inspecting, removing and sharpening of the
blade (Fig.11 - 12)
-
Stop engine. Before checking or doing any work on the
blade, disconnect the spark plug wire and secure it aways
from the plug to prevent unintentional starting.
-
Tip mower on its left side or opposite side from spark
plug, so plug will not be fouled (which causes starting
problems).
-
INSPECTING BLADE: carefully examine blade for
sharpness and wear, especially where flat and curved
parts meet. Since sand and abrasive material can wear
away the metal that connects the flat surface to the
upturned lift, check blade before using the mower. If a
slot or wear is noticed replace blade. Replace blade if
badly chipped, bent or out of balance.
ATTENTION! If blade is allowed to wear, a slot may
form near the sail. Eventually a piece of blade may
break off resulting in serious injury to yourself or a
bystander.

Emptying grasscatcher (Fig.10)
When the bag becomes full, stop engine and wait for all parts
to stop. The ACTIVE grass collection system gives you two
ways to empty grasscatcher :
A - For all models, lift deflector and simply unhook the bag.
Grasping handle at middle and rear of bag, gradually tip
bag forward to emply clippings and shake bag until all
clippings have fallen out
B -
For 4400 models, it's also possible grasp handle at rear
and just tip bag; clippings will fall out on the ground.
To extend the life of the basket it is necessary to empty it
each time the cut is terminated and before the winter storage.
Check the basket frequenty; if it is defective proceed to replace
it with original spare parts.
5
Frequently check the condition of the belt. If it's damaged,
replace it immediately.
6
To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine free of grass,
leaves, or excessive grease.
7
Remember that gasoline is flammable. Store your reserve
supply carefully in a metal container and away from heat
and fire.
8
Have your mower inspected and serviced each year by
an authorized ACTIVE dealer. Determine if any additional
devices are available which might upgrade the safety of
your mower.
9
Factory specified ACTIVE replacement parts must be
used to assure adequate protection against injury.
10
For the maintenance of the engine, check the
manufacturer's manual.
DISMANTLING: Firmly grip an edge of the blade, to avoid
-
the risk of cuts it advisable to wear gloves; unscrew the
bolt, remove the washer and then the blade.
SHARPENING: Sharpen blade when the cutting edges
-
become dull if the blade is in otherwise good condition.
For best results, remove the blade and sharpen it on
grinding wheel. Check blade after sharpening to determine
that it is still balanced. It will cause excessive vibration if
unbalanced. Be careful to avoid cutting yuorself on sharp
blade! Assemble the blade centering it on the support
and tighten the bolt at 55 Nm.
Control blade hub
After an accidental collision with foreign objects such as
rocks or roots, carefully examine the blade and the hub
blade holder. If you notice cracks or faults, immediately
replace the component.
ATTENTION !
The collision with a foreign body causes the
breakage of the blade-bearing hub to safeguard
the integrity of the motor shaft.
In the case of lawn mower equipped with blade clutch
BBC, in case of accidental collision with a foreign body, it
has slippage of the clutch itself, without structural
damage.
