SYMBOLS
The following symbols can be found on the
machine to remind you of the care and attention
that are required during use.
The symbols mean:
Warning! Read the Instruction Book and
Safety Manual before using the machine.
Warning! Keep onlookers away. Beware
of objects being flung out.
Warning! Keep hands and feet clear of the
cutting deck when the machine is running.
Warning! Before starting any repair work,
remove the spark plug cable from the
spark plugs.
Warning! Always tilt the
lawnmower backwards when
cleaning the underside. Petrol and
oil can run out if the lawnmower is
tilted in the other direction.
IMPORTANT
Certain models do not have a throttle control. The
engine speed is set for optimal function and
minimal exhaust emissions.
INSTALLATION
HANDLE
Fold up the lower part of the handle.
Then attach the upper part of the handle. This is
attached with screws, washers and locking wheels
(fig. 1).
The handle has four different positions. Release
the catch with your foot and set the handle in
desired position (fig. 2).
1. For normal mowing.
2. For mowing under trees, bushes, etc.
3. Parking position.
4. Delivery and storage position. The handle takes
up less space if the knobs are released and the
handle folded up.
PRO 46
Raise the upper part of the handle and place it
behind the machine. Fold up the lower part of the
handle and tighten the locking wheels A (fig. 3).
Then attach the upper part of the handle. There is
also a lug on the right hand side for the starter
handle (fig. 1).
Storage position: Release the locking wheels on
the lower part of the handle and fold it forwards.
Then release the locking wheels on the upper part
of the handle and fold it backwards (fig. 4).
NOTE! Check that the wires are not caught or
broken when the handle is unfolded or folded.
CABLE HOLDER
Attach the wires to the cable holder (fig. 5).
USING THE MOWER
BEFORE STARTING
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
The lawnmower is delivered without
any oil in the engine crankcase. The
crankcase must be filled with oil before
the engine is started for the first time.
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 6, 7).
Fill the engine’s crankcase with 0.55 litres of good
quality oil (service class SE, SF or SG). Use SAE
30 or SAE 10W-30 oil.
Slowly fill to ‘FULL/MAX’. Do not overfill.
CHECK THE OIL LEVEL
Check before using the machine that the oil level is
between ‘FULL/MAX’ and ‘ADD/MIN’ on the
dipstick (fig. 6, 7). The mower should stand level.
Briggs Stratton:
Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 6). Slide it
down completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull it
up again. Read off the oil level. If the oil level is low,
fill with oil up to the ‘FULL/MAX’ mark.
Honda:
Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 7). Insert the
dipstick fully, but do not screw it into the thread.
Pull it up again. Read off the oil level. If the oil level
is low, fill with oil up to the ‘FULL/MAX’ mark.
