FILL UP THE PETROL TANK

Fill with petrol before starting the mo- tor. Never remove the filler cap or fill with petrol while the motor is running or still warm.

Keep hands and feet well away from the rotating blade(s). Never put your hand or foot under the blade casing or in the grass evacuation unit while the motor is running.

Never fill the fuel tank completely full but allow a little room for the petrol to expand.

Always use pure unleaded petrol. You must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed with oil.

NOTE that you should always remember that pet- rol is a perishable commodity. Never buy more petrol than what you can use up in 30 days.

STARTING THE ENGINE (Briggs & Stratton, Tecumseh)

1.Place the lawn mower on flat, firm ground. Do not start in high grass.

2.Make sure the spark plug lead is connected to the spark plug.

3.If the lawnmower is equipped with a throttle le- ver, set throttle lever N in full throttle position (fig. 10,11).

4.When starting a cold engine: Press down the primer fully three times (fig. 12,13,14).

When starting a warm engine the primer doesn’t need to be used. If the engine stops due to a lack of petrol, refill and press down the primer three times.

5.Press in the Start/Stop-loop G against the steer- ing. Note that the Start/Stop loop G must be kept pressed-in to prevent the engine from stop- ping (fig. 10,11).

6.To facilitate starting of the engine - press down the handlebar so that the front wheels lift slight- ly from the ground. Do not start in tall grass.

Multiclip 46 S: Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by pulling briskly on the starter handle.

Multiclip 46 SE: Start the engine by turning the starter key clock-wise. Release the key as soon as the engine starts. Always make short attempts at starting to prevent discharging the battery.

7.To achieve the best cutting results, you should always run the engine at full-speed.
