Caring for your Lawnmower
If you do not intend to use your lawnmower for
long periods it is advisable to follow this
procedure after use:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Fully close the fuel tap. (K)
3. Restart the engine.

the lawnmower slightly.
5. Once the engine has stopped, release the
Operator Presence Control.
6. Disconnect the spark plug lead.
7. Remove all fuel from the fuel tank.
Cleaning - USE GLOVES
• Keep your lawnmower clean - grass clippings
left in any of the air intakes, around the
engine or under the deck could become a
potential fire hazard.
• Do not clean with chemicals, including petrol, or
solvents - some can destroy critical plastic
parts.
1. Remove grass from under the deck with a piece
of wood or similar.
2. Using a soft brush - remove grass clippings from
around the engine and from all air intakes.
3. Remove the fan, See 'Removing and Fitting
the Blade and Fan', and clean with a soft
brush.
4. Wipe over the surface of your lawnmower with a
dry cloth.
Transporting your Lawnmower

with the engine in a horizontal position.

running.

Cleaning the Air Filter
Q1 - Air Duct
Q2 - Air Cleaner Body
Q3 - Filter
Q4 - Latch Tabs
Q5 - Air Cleaner Cover
Never run the engine without a filter or with a dirty
filter. This will greatly reduce engine efficiency and
lead to engine damage.
Your lawnmower is fitted with an Air Cleaner, the
maintenance for which is as follows:-
• Check the filter before each use.
• Clean every 25 hrs or more frequently when
used in dusty areas.
• Replace filter every 200 hrs.
1. Press the latch tabs on the top of the air cleaner
cover and remove the cover.
2. Check the filter is clean and in good condition.
If the filter is dirty:-
Tap the air filter several times on a hard surface
to remove dirt, or blow compressed air through
the air filter from the clean side that faces the
engine. Never try to brush off dirt. Brushing will
force dirt into the fibers.
3. Wipe dirt from the air cleaner body and cover
using a moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt
from entering the air duct that leads to the
carburetor.
4. Replace the filter and air cleaner cover.
Spark Plug
An oily or carboned spark plug makes starting
difficult and decreases the efficiency of the engine.
Periodically remove the spark plug and clean and
adjust when necessary.
Gap setting 0.028 - 0.031".
Do not remove spark plug when engine is hot. Do
not sand blast the spark plug to clean it.
