SYMBOLS
The following symbols are displayed on the ma- chine in order to remind you about the safety pre- cautions 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 run- ning.
Warning! Before starting any repair work, remove the spark plug cable from the spark plugs.
The components for assembling the upper section of the steering are fitted for packing purposes. Re- move the components from the lower section of the steering.
Then attach the upper part of the handlebar with screws, washers and locking knobs (fig. 2).
The handlebar has four different positions. Release the catch with the foot and move the handlebar to the desired position (fig. 3).
1.For normal mowing.
2.For mowing under trees, shrubs etc.
3.Parking position.
4.Transportation and storage position. The han- dlebar takes up less room if the locking knobs are loosened and the handlebar folded in.
CABLE HOLDER
Put the wires into the cable holder (fig. 4).
EYELET FOR STARTER HANDLE
Attach the starter handle to the eyelet on the steer- ing handle (fig. 5).
IMPORTANT
Certain models do not have a throttle. The motor speed is set for optimal function and minimal ex- haust emissions.
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 eas- ily be ejected by the rotating blade.
The parts for assembly of the ejector shield are at- tached to the packaging. Remove the parts and as- semble the ejector shield according to fig. l.
Tighten the screws securely.
HANDLEBAR
Hinge up the lower part of the handlebar.
USING THE MOWER
BEFORE STARTING
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
The lawn mower is delivered without any oil in the engine crankcase. The crank- case must, therefore, be filled with oil be- fore the engine is started the first time.
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 6, 7).
Fill the engine's crankcase with 0.6 litres of good quality oil (service class SE, SF or SG) Use SAE 30 or SAE
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. Stand the lawn mower on a level surface.
