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 Assembly. | 4. Warranty Reg Card. |
To prevent accidents cut off the long ribbon attached to the grassbag and discard. (Refer fig.1)
Grassbag Attachment
Raise the rear deflector, lower the grassbag through the handlebar and hook into position. Lower the deflector to rest on the grassbag (Refer fig.4)
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.
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.7)
Handlebar
Unscrew the handlebar securing knobs sufficiently to allow the handlebar to pivot. Move the engine stop lever away from the engine to avoid damage and unfold the handlebar to the operating position. Make sure the knobs are assembled to the outside of the handlebar. (Refer fig.2)
Tighten both handlebar knobs to secure in position.
Take care to ensure that the control cables do not become snagged at the pivot point.
Grassbag Assembly
Insert the metal frame into the grassbag fabric and then clip into position. (Refer fig.3)
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.6)
The oil level is correct when it is at the full mark on the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL. (Refer fig.6)
