GB ENGLISH

SYMBOLS

The following symbols are displayed on the ma- chine in order to remind you about the safety pre- cautions and attention necessary when using the machine.

The symbols mean:

Warning! Read the Instruction Book and Safety Manual before using the machine.

Warning! Keep spectators away. Beware of objects being flung out.

Warning! Do not put hands or feet under the cover of the machine when it is run- ning.

Warning! Before starting any repair work, remove the spark plug cable from the spark plugs.

IMPORTANT

Certain models do not have a throttle. The motor speed is set for optimal function and minimal ex- haust emissions.

PRO 46

Lift the upper part of the handlebar and position it behind the machine. Move the lower part of the handlebar upwards and tighten the locking knobs A (fig. 3).

Then fit the upper part of the handlebar. A securing eye for the starting handle is fitted on the right- hand side (fig. 1).

Storage position: Slacken the locking knobs on the lower part of the handlebar and move it forwards. Then slacken the locking knobs on the upper part of the handlebar and move it backwards (fig. 4).

Note that you must check to make sure that the wires do not fasten and break when the steering han- dle is moved upwards or into the storage position.

CABLE BEARER

Put the wires into the cable holder (fig. 5).

USING THE MOWER

BEFORE STARTING

FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL

The lawn mower is delivered without any oil in the motor crankcase. The crankcase must, therefore, be filled with oil before the motor is started the first time.

Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 6, 7, 8).

ASSEMBLING

HANDLEBAR

Hinge up the lower part of the handlebar.

Then attach the upper part of the handlebar with screws, washers and locking knobs (fig. 2).

The handlebar has four different positions. Release the catch with the foot and move the handlebar to the desired position (fig. 3).

1.For normal mowing.

2.For mowing under trees, shrubs etc.

3.Parking position.

4.Transportation and storage position. The han- dlebar takes up less room if the locking knobs are loosened and the handlebar folded in.

Fill the engine's crankcase with 0.6 litres of good quality oil (service class SE, SF or SG) Use SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 oil.

Fill until the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX” mark on the dip stick. Do not fill with too much oil.

CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

Check before using the machine that the oil level is between “FULL/MAX” and “ADD/MIN” on the dipstick (fig. 6, 7, 8).

Briggs & Stratton, Honda: Remove and dry the dipstick (fig. 6, 7). Slide it down completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull it up again. Read-off. If the oil level is low, fill with oil up to the “FULL/ MAX” mark.
