FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Fill with petrol before starting the en-
gine. Never remove the filler cap or fill
with petrol while the engine is running
or still warm.
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 petrol
is a perishable commodity. Never buy more petrol
than what you can use up in 30 days.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Place the lawn mower on flat, firm ground. Do
notstartinhighgrass.
2. Make sure the spark plug lead is connected to
the spark plug.
3. When starting a cold engine: Press down the
primer fully 6 times (fig. 9).
When starting a warm engine the primer does
not need to be used. If the engine stops due to a
lack of petrol, refill and press down the primer
three times.
4. 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. 7,8).
5. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by
pulling briskly on the starter handle.
Keep hands and feet well away from the
rotating blade. Never put your hand or
foot under the blade casing or in the
grass evacuation unit while the engine is
running.
STOP OF ENGINE
The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges as it
can cause burns and injury.
1. Release Start/Stop-loop G (fig. 7,8) to stop the
engine. This loop must not be disengaged (e.g.
through fixing it in the depressed position
against the steering), as the engine cannot be
stopped.
2. If the lawn mower is left unattended to, remove
the lead from the spark plug.
CUTTING HEIGHT
Shut off the engine before adjusting the
cutting height.
Do not set the cutting height so low that
the blade can hit uneven ground.
Avoid mowing when the grass is wet. The grass
then sticks to the underside of the casing, giving
poor mowing results.
The cutting height can be adjusted to three posi-
tions by moving the wheel axles (fig. 10).
If the start/stop loop no longer works,
stop the engine by removing the lead
from the spark plug. Immediately take
the lawn mower to an authorised work-
shop for repairs.

If the machine is to be tilted the fuel tank
must be emptied and the sparking plug
of the engine kept upwards.
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.
High pressure washing units should not be used. If
grass has dried on to the mower casing it can be re-
moved by scraping. If necessary, give the under-
side a touch of paint to prevent rusting.
Clean the silencer and the surrounding
area regularly to remove grass, dirt and
flammable waste products.
