COOLING SYSTEM
Before use, the engine's cooling system should be
cleaned. Clean the cylinder's cooling fins and the
air intake, removing any grass cuttings, dirt and the
like.
LUBRICATION
Set at the lowest mowing height. Slacken the
screws and remove the transmission casing (fig. 9).
Lubricate the driveshaft by the plastic bushings/
slide bearings I with oil or oil spray at least once a
season (fig. 11).
CHANGING OIL
Replace the oil when the engine is warm
and the fuel tank is empty. Take care
while draining as the oil is hot, this is to
prevent burns.
Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of
operation, and subsequently after every 50 hours
of operation or once a season. Remove the oil
dipstick and allow the oil to run out into a vessel.
Be careful not to let any oil run on to the grass.
Fill with new oil: use oil of SAE 30 or SAE 10W-
30 quality. The crankcase holds approx. 0.6 litre.
Fill until the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX” mark
on the dip stick.
AIR FILTER
A dirty and blocked air filter reduces the engine
output and increases engine wear.
Clean the filter every three months or after every
25 hours of use, which ever occurs first. More
often if the lawn mower is used on dusty ground.
Briggs & Stratton LS45: Carefully remove the air
cleaner so that no dirt falls down into the
carburettor (fig. 12). Take out the foam plastic
filter element and wash it in liquid detergent and
water. Dry the filter element. Pour a little oil on the
filter element and squeeze it in. Refit the air
cleaner.
Briggs & Stratton XTE 60: Loosen the screw and
fold down the cover of the air cleaner. Carefully
remove the filter cartridge (fig. 13). Knock it
against a flat surface. Replace the filter cartridge
with a new one if it is still dirty.
SPARKING PLUG
Never remove the spark plug or the
ignition lead when checking to see if
there is any spark, always use an
approved test instrument.
Clean the sparking plug regularly (every 100 hours
running). Use a wire brush for cleaning and adjust
the correct spark gap 0.7-0.8 mm (fig. 14).
Change the sparking plug if the electrodes are
excessively burnt or if the plug is damaged. The
recommendations of the engine manufacturers are
as follows:
Champion J19LM (RJ19LM) or another
equivalent spark plug ought to be used in Briggs &
Stratton engines.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE CLUTCH WIRE
If the drive cannot be engaged or disengaged, it
may be that the clutch wire needs adjusting.
Adjust as follows:
1. Remove the transmission cover by unscrewing
the screws S (fig. 9).
2. When the clutch loop is released it should be
possible to roll the mower without any
resistance. If this is not the case, loosen the
locking nut U and screw in the nipple T until the
mower can be moved backwards (fig. 15).
3. When the clutch loop is
pressed in approx. 2 cm
(position 1) there should be
some resistance when moving
the mower backwards. With
the clutch loop fully pressed
in (position 2) it should not be
possible to pull the mower
backwards. Loosen the
locking nut U and screw out
the nipple T until this position
is achieved.
4. Finally tighten the locking nut U.
