Maintenance

ENGLISHGB

Preferably use environmentally friendly petrol, i.e. alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a composition that is less harmful to people and nature. It has e.g. no lead additives, no oxygenators (alcohols and ethers), no alkenes and no benzene. NOTE! If you change to environmentally friendly petrol in a motor previously run on ordinary lead- free petrol (95), the petrol manufacturer’s recommendations must be followed carefully. Ordinary lead-free 95 octane petrol can also be used. You must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed with oil. NOTE! Bear in mind that lead-free petrol is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than can be used within thirty 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.

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 steering. Note that the Start/Stop loop G must be kept pressed-in to prevent the engine from stopping (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 immediately 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.

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 positions 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 workshop for repairs.

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 underside 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 removed by scraping. If necessary, give the underside a touch of paint to prevent rusting.

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

COOLING SYSTEM

Before use, the engine's cooling system should be cleaned. Clean the cylinder's cooling fins and the air intake, removing any grass cuttings, dirt and the like.
