Tecumseh: Stand the lawnmower on a level sur-
face. Clean the area round the oil plug, then re-
move the plug (fig. 8). If the oil is not level with the
edge of the hole, carefully pour in clean oil. Re-
place the oil plug.
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.
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
(Briggs & Stratton, Tecumseh)
1. Place the lawn mower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in high grass.
2. Make sure the spark plug lead is connected to
the spark plug.
3. If the lawnmower is equipped with a throttle le-
ver, set throttle lever B in full throttle position
(fig. 9).
4. When starting a cold engine: Press down the
primer fully three times (fig. 10, 11).
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.
5. 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. 9).
6. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by
pulling briskly on the starter handle.
7. To achieve the best cutting results, you should
always run the engine at full-speed.
Keep hands and feet well away from the
rotating blade(s). Never put your hand
or foot under the blade casing or in the
grass evacuation unit while the motor is
running.
STARTING THE ENGINE (Honda)

not start in high grass.
2. Make sure the spark plug lead is connected to
the spark plug.
3. Open the fuel cock (fig. 12).
4. Move the throttle control B to the chokeposition
. Note! Don't use the choke position when the
engine is warm (fig. 9).
5. 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. 9).
6. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by
pulling briskly on the starter handle.
7. When the motor starts, move the throttle lever
backwards until the max. rotation speed is ob-
tained. Note! The engine should always be run
at the maximum rotation speed to avoid abnor-
mal engine vibrations.
Keep hands and feet well away from the
rotating blade(s). Never put your hand
or foot under the blade casing or in the
grass evacuation unit while the motor is
running.
STOP OF ENGINE
The motor 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 to stop theengine.
This loop must not be disengaged(e.g. through
fixing it in the depressed position against the
steering), as the engine cannot be stopped.
Honda: Close the fuel cock.
2. If the lawn mower is left unattended to,remove
the lead from the spark plug.
