SYMBOLS

The following symbols are displayed on the machine in order to remind you about the safety precautions and attention necessary when using the machine. The symbols mean:

Warning! Read the Instruction Book and Safety Manual before using the machine.

Warning! Keep spectators away. Beware of objects being flung out.

Warning! Do not put hands or feet under the cover of the machine when it is running.

Warning! Before starting any repair work, remove the spark plug cable from the spark plugs.

Warning! Always tilt the lawnmower backwards when cleaning the underside. Petrol and oil can run out if the lawnmower is tilted in the other direction.

ASSEMBLING

EJECTION SHIELD

Under no condition must the machine be started without the ejection shield being fitted on the machine. If it is not fitted, stones and other flying objects may easily be ejected by the rotating blade.

Fit the ejection shield in the holes on the chassis with the help of two nuts. Tighten the nuts fully (fig. 1).

HANDLEBAR

Move the upper part of the steering handle upwards and tighten the locking knobs (fig. 2). The height of the handle can be adjusted in three different positions.

USING THE MOWER

BEFORE STARTING

FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL

The lawn mower is delivered without any oil in the motor crankcase. The crankcase must, therefore, be filled with oil before the motor is started the first time.

Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 3,4). Fill the engine's crankcase with 0.6 litres of good quality oil (service class SE, SF or SG) Use SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 oil.

Fill until the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX” mark on the dip stick. Do not fill with too much oil.

CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

Check before using the machine that the oil level is between “FULL/MAX” and “ADD/MIN” on the dipstick.

Remove and dry the dipstick (fig. 3,4). Slide it down completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull it up again. Read-off. If the oil level is low, fill with oil up to the “FULL/MAX” mark.

FILL UP THE PETROL TANK

Never remove the filler cap or fill with petrol while the engine is running or still warm.

Never completely fill the petrol tank. Allow a little room for the petrol to expand if necessary.

Some engines have an extra safety cover under the regular fuel cap. This must not be reinstalled.

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 an engine 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.
