SPEED (*)
Do not touch the variator control when the motor is not operational. This can have an adverse effect on the variator's performance.
Set a suitable speed by moving the variator lever into one of the 4 positions (fig. 16).
The different positions have the following speeds:
Position 
: approx. 2.8 km/h
Position 2: approx. 3.1km/h
Position 3: approx. 3.6 km/h
Position 
: approx. 4.5 km/h
CUTTING HEIGHT
Shut off the motor before adjusting the cutting height.
Do not set the cutting height so low that the blade/blades can hit uneven ground.
The mower is fitted with a single lever control for adjusting the cutting height. Pull the lever out- wards and adjust the cutting height on one of the nine positions to be most suitable for your lawn (fig. 17).
MAINTENANCE
Neither the motor nor the lawn mower may be serviced before the ignition ca- ble is removed from the spark plug.
Stop the motor and remove the spark plug cable if the mower is to be lifted, e.g. with transportation.
If the lawn mower needs to be tilted it should be tilted so that the spark plug faces upwards. Tilt the lawn mower when the fuel tank is empty.
CLEANING
After each time it is used the mower should be cleaned. This is particularly important on the un- derside of the mower casing. Wash out with the garden hose. The mower will then last longer and function better.Note! High pressure washing units should not be used.
If grass has dried on to the cutterhead casing it can be removed by scraping. If necessary, give the un- derside a touch of paint to prevent rusting.
Clean the silencer and the surrounding area regularly to remove grass, dirt and flammable waste products.
Take off the transmission cover by removing the screws S (fig. 28) and clean the area around the transmission (*) and drive belt (*) using a brush or compressed air. Clean once or twice a year.
You should clean the inside of the drive wheels (*) once every season. Remove both wheels. Brush or
COOLING SYSTEM
Before using the lawn mower, the engine’s cooling system must be cleaned. Clean the cylinder’s cool- ing flanges and air inlet to make sure they are free from grass, dirt, etc.
LUBRICATING THE DRIVESHAFT (*)
You should grease the key on the driveshaft once every season. Remove the wheel (hub cap, screw and washer). Then remove the
Refit the key (different key fitments on right- and
CHANGING OIL
Replace the oil when the engine is warm and the fuel tank is empty. Take care while draining as the oil is hot, this is to prevent burns.
Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of oper- ation, and subsequently after every 50 hours of op- eration or once a season. Remove the dip stick, tilt the mower and let the oil run out into a container. Be careful not to let any oil run on to the grass.
Fill with new oil: use oil of SAE 30 or SAE 10W- 30 quality. The crankcase holds approx. 0.6 litre. Fill until the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX” mark on the dip stick.
AIR FILTER
A dirty and blocked air filter reduces the engine output and increases engine wear.
