SYMBOLS
The following symbols are displayed on the ma-
chine in order to remind you about the safety pre-
cautions and attention necessary when using the
machine.
The symbols mean:
Warning! Read the Instruction Book and
Safety Manual before using the machine.
Warning! Keep spectators away. Beware
of objects being flung out.
Warning! Do not put hands or feet under
the chassis of the machine when it is run-
ning.

IMPORTANT
Certain sections apply to only one or a few of the
models. Where this is the case, the name of the
model appears at the start of the section.
Certain models do not have a throttle. The motor
speed is set for optimal function and minimal ex-
haust emissions.

USING THE MOWER
BEFORE STARTING
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
The lawn mower is delivered without
any oil in the motor crankcase. The
crankcase must, therefore, be filled with
oil before the motor is started the first
time.
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 7, 8, 9). Fill the en-
gine's crankcase with 0.6 litres of good quality oil
(service class SE, SF or SG). Use SAE 30 or SAE
10W-30 oil.
Slowly fill up to the “FULL/MAX” mark. Do not
fill with too much oil.
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
Check before using the machine that the oil level is
between “FULL/MAX” and ADD/MIN” on the
dipstick. The mower should stand level.
Remove and dry the dipstick (fig. 7, 8, 9). Slide it
down completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull
it up again. Read-off. If the oil level is low, fill with
oil up to the “FULL/MAX” mark.
FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Fill with petrol before starting the mo-
tor. Never remove the filler cap or fill
with petrol while the motor 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.
