Assembling the Mower Before First USE

Delivery Checklist

Remove the mower from the packaging and check that the following items have been supplied correctly. If any items are missing contact, your local Hayter dealer.

1.	Engine Handbook	3. Parts list/D of C
2.	Grassbag	4. Warranty Reg Card

To prevent accidents cut off the long ribbon attached to the grassbag and discard. (Refer fig.1)

Handlebar

Unscrew the handlebar securing knobs sufficiently to allow the handlebar to pivot. Hold the engine stop lever in towards the handlebar and unfold the handlebar to the operating position, before releasing.

Tighten both handlebar knobs to secure in position.

(Refer fig.2)

Take care to ensure that the control cables do not become snagged at the pivot point.

Grassbag Assembly

Before first use assemble the grassbag and frame. Slide the frame (1) into the grassbag (2), ensuring that the han- dle is above the grassbag as shown. Attach plastic clips (A), (B), (C) and (D) to the grassbag frame. (Refer fig.3)

Raise the rear deflector, lower the grassbag and hook in position. Lower the deflector to rest on the grassbag.

Prevent Engine Damage

To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped without oil or petrol. The engine must be filled with the correct grade of oil and petrol before starting the

engine. (Refer fig.4)

Oil Type

Always use high quality detergent oil classified SAE 30 oil. Never use additives with recommended oil.

To prolong the life of your engine it is important that the oil is changed after the first 5 hours of use - Refer to ‘Maintenance Schedule’.

Check Oil Level

Clean around the oil filler cap before removing. With the mower on a level surface, unscrew and remove the oil filler - dipstick. Wipe oil from it with a clean cloth. Screw the oil filler - dipstick back in place, then unscrew and remove it to check the oil level. (Refer fig.5)

The oil level is correct when it is at the full mark on the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL. (Refer fig.5)

Fuel Type

Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol. Purchase fuel

in quantities that can be used within 30 days. Never mix oil with petrol. For added engine protection Briggs & Stratton recommend the use of their fuel additive which is available from an authorised Briggs & Stratton service dealer.

Fill to base of neck to allow for fuel expansion. Do not overfill the fuel tank. (Refer fig.6)
