Maintenance, Starting the Engine, Cutting Height

ENGLISH	GB

FILL UP THE PETROL TANK

Fill with petrol before starting the en- gine. Never remove the filler cap or fill with petrol while the engine 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

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.

2.If the lawn mower is left unattended to, remove the lead from the spark plug.

CUTTING HEIGHT

Shut off the engine before adjusting the cutting height.

Do not set the cutting height so low that the blade can hit uneven ground.

Avoid mowing when the grass is wet. The grass then sticks to the underside of the casing, giving poor mowing results.

The cutting height can be adjusted to three posi- tions by moving the wheel axles (fig. 10).

If the start/stop loop no longer works, stop the engine by removing the lead from the spark plug. Immediately take the lawn mower to an authorised work- shop for repairs.

3.When starting a cold engine: Press down the primer fully 6 times (fig. 9).

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.

4.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. 7,8).

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

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

STOP OF ENGINE

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

1.Release Start/Stop-loop G (fig. 7,8) to stop the engine. This loop must not be disengaged (e.g. through fixing it in the depressed position against the steering), as the engine cannot be stopped.

MAINTENANCE

No service is to be made on the engine or lawn mower without first switching off the engine and removing 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. with transportation.

If the machine is to be tilted the fuel tank must be emptied and the sparking plug of the engine kept upwards.

CLEANING

After each time it is used the mower should be cleaned. This is particularly important on the un- derside of the mower casing. Wash out with the garden hose. The mower will then last longer and function better.

High pressure washing units should not be used. If grass has dried on to the mower casing it can be re- moved by scraping. If necessary, give the under- side a touch of paint to prevent rusting.

Clean the silencer and the surrounding area regularly to remove grass, dirt and flammable waste products.
