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 cover of the machine when it is run-
ning.
Warning! Before starting any repair work,
remove the spark plug cable from the
spark plugs.
IMPORTANT
Certain models do not have a throttle. The motor
speed is set for optimal function and minimal ex-
haust emissions.
ASSEMBLING
EJECTION SHIELD
Under no condition must the machine be
startedwithouttheejectionshieldbeing
fitted on the machine. If it is not fitted,
stones and other flying objects may eas-
ily be ejected by the rotating blade.
Fit the ejection shield in the holes on the chassis
with the help of two nuts. Tighten the nuts fully
(fig. 1).
HANDLEBAR
Move the upper part of the steering handle up-
wards and tighten the locking knobs (fig. 2). The
height of the handle can be adjusted in three differ-
ent positions.
USING THE MOWER
BEFORE STARTING
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
The lawn mower is delivered without any
oil in the motor crankcase. The crank-
case must, therefore, be filled with oil be-
fore the motor is started the first time.
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 3,4). Fill the engine's
crankcase with 0.6 litres of good quality oil (serv-
ice class SE, SF or SG) Use SAE 30 or SAE 10W-
30 oil.
Fill until the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX” mark
on the dip stick. 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.
Remove and dry the dipstick (fig. 3,4). 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.
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
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.
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.
