Starting the engine
Refer to the engine manufacturer owner’s manual for detailed starting procedure.
Ensure that the engine oil is at the correct level and that the fuel tank is full of fresh unleaded petrol.
• Move the throttle control lever to the “START” position.
• Prime the engine in accordance with the engine manufacture’s instructions

Wait till the engine comes to a complete stop before removing or fitting the grass catcher to the
mower or attempting any maintenance work on the mower.
MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance on the mower remove the spark
plug lead from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting
WARNING
Engine air cleaner
Refer to the engine manufacturer owner’s manual for detailed maintenance instructions. The engine
air cleaner element must be serviced after every 25 hours of normal mowing. The air cleaner
element must be serviced more regularly if the mower is used in dusty conditions. Replace
immediately if the air cleaner element is damaged.
Blade- refer figure 4
Check the condition of the blade and central fastener at regular intervals, or after striking a solid
object, or if the mower begins to vibrate abnormally. The blade with use, will loose it’s sharp edge
and the quality of the grass finish will deteriorate. When this happens the blade should be removed
and sharpened or replaced with a new blade.
CAUTION
The blade must be balanced after sharpening
Adjusting the height of cut- refer figure 4
The Rover lawnmower has nine height settings controlled by
the height adjustment lever located at the rear right hand
wheel.
• Grasp the height adjustment lever and pull the lever away
from the base to disengage it from the locating holes in
the base.
• Move the lever either forwards or
backwards to the desired position
and release the lever so as to
engage in the base.
