IMPORTANT
USING THE MOWER
BEFORE STARTING
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
The lawn mower is delivered without any oil in the motor crankcase. The crank- case must, therefore, be filled with oil be- fore the motor is started the first time.
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 3,4). Fill the engine's crankcase with 0.6 litres of good quality oil (serv- ice 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.
Remove and dry the dipstick (fig. 3,4). Slide it down completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull it up again.
FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Certain models do not have a throttle. The motor speed is set for optimal function and minimal ex- haust emissions.
ASSEMBLING
EJECTION SHIELD
Under no condition must the machine be started without the ejection shield being fitted on the machine. If it is not fitted, stones and other flying objects may eas- ily be ejected by the rotating blade.
Fit the ejection shield in the holes on the chassis with the help of two nuts. Tighten the nuts fully (fig. 1).
HANDLEBAR
Move the upper part of the steering handle up- wards and tighten the locking knobs (fig. 2). The height of the handle can be adjusted in three differ- ent positions.
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
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
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.
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.
