STARTING THE ENGINE (Honda)

1.Place the lawnmower on flat, firm ground. Do not start in long grass.

2.Make sure the spark plug cable is connected to the spark plug.

3.Open the fuel tap (fig. 14).

4.Set the throttle control B in the choke posi- tion. NOTE! It is not necessary to use the choke position when the engine is warm (fig. 15).

5.Press the Start/Stop loopG towards the handle. NOTE! The Start/Stop loopG must be kept pressed in to prevent the engine stopping (fig. 15).

6.Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by pulling briskly on the starter cord.

REAR WHEEL DRIVE (*)

Engage the drive by pressing the clutch loop I to- wards the handle. Disengage the drive by releasing the clutch loop I (fig. 15).

SPEED (*)

Do not touch the variator control when the engine is not running. This can dam- age the operation of the variator.

Set to a suitable speed by moving the variator con- trol to one of the 4 positions (fig. 16).

The various positions have the following speeds:

Position :approx. 2.8 km/h

Position 2: approx. 3.1 km/h

Position 3: approx. 3.6 km/h

Position : approx. 4.5 km/h

7.When the engine starts, move the throttle con- trol backwards until max. revs are obtained. NOTE! The engine should always be run at maximum revs to avoid abnormal machine vi- brations.

Keep hands and feet away from the ro- tating blade(s). Never put your hand or foot under the blade casing or in the grass ejector while the engine is run- ning.

CUTTING HEIGHT

Shut off the engine before adjusting the cutting height.

Do not set the cutting height so low that the blade(s) come into contact with une- ven ground.

The mower has single-lever control for adjusting the cutting height. Pull the lever out, and set the cutting height to one of the nine positions best suit- ed to your lawn (fig. 17).

STOPPING THE ENGINE

The engine may be very warm immedi- ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges.

This can cause burn injuries.

1.Release the Start/Stop loopG (fig. 15) to stop the engine. This loop must not be disengaged (e.g. by setting it in the depressed position against the handle), as it will not be possible to stop the engine.

Honda: Close the fuel tap.

2.If the lawnmower is left unattended, remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug. Also re- move the ignition key (*).

No servicing may be carried out on the engine or lawnmower without first re- moving the spark plug cable from the spark plug.

Stop the engine and remove the spark plug cable if the mower is to be lifted, e.g. during transportation.

If the lawnmower needs to be tilted, it must be tilted so that the engine’s spark plug faces upwards. Tilt the lawnmower when the fuel tank is empty.

If the start/stop loop ceases to work, stop the engine by removing the spark plug cable from the spark plug. Immediately take the lawn mower to an authorised workshop for repair.

CLEANING

After each use the mower should be cleaned. This is particularly important on the underside of the mower casing. Rinse clean with the garden hose. The mower will then last longer and work better. High-pressure washers should not be used.
