ENGLISH
If the start/stop loop ceases to work, stop the engine by removing the spark plug cable from the spark plug. Immediately take the lawn mower to an authorised workshop for repair.
MOWING TIPS
Before mowing the lawn, take care to remove any stones, toys and other hard objects.
A machine with the MULTICLIP system cuts the grass, chops it finely and then blows it down into the lawn. The grass clippings need not be collected.
The following rules should be observed to give the best MULTICLIP effect:
1.Use a high engine speed (full throttle).
2.Do not mow when the grass is wet.
3.Do not cut the grass too short. Not more than 1/3rd of the length should be cut off.
4.Ensure that the area under the mower casing is always kept clean.
5.Always use a
CUTTING HEIGHT
Shut off the engine before adjusting the cutting height.
Do not set the cutting height so low that the blade/blades come into contact with uneven ground.
It is possible to vary the cutting height by moving the wheel axles through four positions (fig. 11).
MAINTENANCE
No servicing is to be carried out on the engine or mower unit 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. during transportation.
If the machine needs to be tilted, the fuel tank must be emptied and the engine’s spark plug kept upright.
CLEANING
After each use the mower should be cleaned. This is particularly important on the underside of the mower casing. Rinse with the garden hose. The mower will then last longer and function better.
The paint on the underside of the deck will, in time, be worn away by the mowing process. To prevent corrosion, paint the underside with anti- corrosive paint.
Clean the silencer and the surrounding area regularly to remove grass, dirt and flammable waste products.
COOLING SYSTEM
Before each use, the engine’s cooling system must be cleaned. Clean the cylinder’s cooling flanges and air intake of grass remains, dirt, etc.
OIL CHANGE
Replace the oil when the engine is warm and the fuel tank is empty. Warm oil runs out of the engine more easily. In or- der to prevent burns, take care while draining as the oil is hot.
Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of oper- ation, and subsequently every 50 hours of opera- tion or once a season. Remove the dipstick, tilt the mower and let the oil run out into a container. Be careful not to let any oil run onto the grass.
Fill with new oil: Use SAE 30 or SAE
AIR FILTER
A dirty and blocked air filter reduces the engine output and increases engine wear.
Briggs & Stratton: Carefully remove the air cleaner so that no dirt falls down into the carburettor (fig. 12). Remove the foam filter and wash it in liquid de- tergent and water. Dry the filter. Pour a little oil on the filter and squeeze it in. Reassemble the air cleaner.
Wash the filter every three months or after every 25 hours of use, whichever occurs first. More fre- quently if the engine is used on dusty ground.
