STARTING THE ENGINE Honda, Stop Of Engine

ENGLISH	GB

Tecumseh: Stand the lawnmower on a level sur- face. Clean the area round the oil plug, then re- move the plug (fig. 8). If the oil is not level with the edge of the hole, carefully pour in clean oil. Re- place the oil plug.

FILL UP THE PETROL TANK

Fill with petrol before starting the mo- tor. Never remove the filler cap or fill with petrol while the motor is running or still warm.

Never fill the fuel tank completely full but allow a little room for the petrol to expand.

Always use pure unleaded petrol. You must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed with oil.

Note that you should always remember that petrol is a perishable commodity. Never buy more petrol than what you can use up in 30 days.

STARTING THE ENGINE (Briggs & Stratton, Tecumseh)

1.Place the lawn mower on flat, firm ground. Do not start in high grass.

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

3.If the lawnmower is equipped with a throttle le- ver, set throttle lever B in full throttle position (fig. 9).

4.When starting a cold engine: Press down the primer fully three times (fig. 10, 11).

When starting a warm engine the primer does not need to be used. If the engine stops due to a lack of petrol, refill and press down the primer three times.

5.Press in the Start/Stop-loop G against the steer- ing. Note that the Start/Stop loop G must be kept pressed-in to prevent the engine from stop- ping (fig. 9).

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

7.To achieve the best cutting results, you should always run the engine at full-speed.

Keep hands and feet well away from the rotating blade(s). Never put your hand or foot under the blade casing or in the grass evacuation unit while the motor is running.
