ASSEMBLY
HOW TO PREPARE THE ENGINE
NOTE: The engine was shipped from the factory filled with oil. Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.
See the engine manufacturer’s instructions for the type of fuel and oil to use. Before you use the unit, read the information on safety, operation, maintenance, and storage.
WARNING: Follow the engine manufacturer’s instructions for the type of fuel and oil to use. Always use a safety petrol container. Do not smoke when adding petrol to the engine. When inside an enclosure, do not fill with petrol. Before you add petrol, stop the engine. Let the engine cool for several minutes.
IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with an internal combustion engine and must not be used on or near any unimproved forest−covered, brush−covered or grass−covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it must be maintained in effective working order by the operator.
CHECK THE TYRES
Check the air pressure in the tyres. Tyres with too much air pressure will cause the unit to ride rough. Also, the wrong air pressure will keep the mower housing from cutting level. The correct air pressure (PSI) is 14 PSI (1 BAR). The tyres were over inflated for shipment.
CHECK THE LEVEL OF THE MOWER HOUSING
Make sure the level of cut is still correct. After you mow a short distance, look at the area that was cut. If the mower housing does not cut level, see the instructions on “How To Level The Mower Housing” in the Maintenance section of this instruction book.
IMPORTANT! BEFORE YOU START MOWING
1.Check the engine oil.
2.Fill the fuel tank with petrol.
3.Check the level of the mower housing.
4.Check the air pressure of the tyres.
5.Attach the battery cables.
