POWER LAWNMOWER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

BEFORE USE

When the mower is removed from the carton the upper handle will be

in a folded position, therefore it will be necessary to pivot the handle

into the upright position. Secure the handle in this position with the

clamp screw & nut provided. When folding handle for storage, use

extreme care not to permanently bend clutch throttle controls.

HANDLE ADJUSTMENT

Slacken 4 nuts (A) sufficiently to allow handle to be moved up and

down. Re-tighten with handle in selected position.

DEFLECTOR

Depending on cutting conditions e.g. wet grass, dry grass, high wind

velocity etc. it may be necessary to alter the angle of deflection into

the grass box. This is effected by loosening the thumb screws (A)

each side of the machine and moving the deflector plate in the desired

direction –move upwards to throw the grass higher and longer, or

downwards to throw the grass lower and shorter. Re-tighten screws

after adjustment.

CLUTCH CABLE ADJUSTMENT

The clutch operating pressure can be increased by releasing the lock

nut (A) and screwing the threaded adjuster (B) outwards a few turns

and re-tightening lock nut. This is necessary only if the unlikely

condition of clutch slip with loss of propulsion should occur.

CUTTER SETTING

The cutter is set correctly when it is lightly touching the bottom blade

along its FULL length. Hard bearing of uneven setting causes

excessive or uneven wear on cutting edges and also places undue load

on the engine. Before adjusting, lay the machine back with the handles

on the ground; making sure the petrol tap is “off”. To adjust cutting

cylinder, release clamp nuts (C), both sides of mower. Cutter is set

closer to the bottom blade by turning down (clockwise) the adjusting

screws on each side of the cutter (D) until cutter blades just contact

blade. If the cutter bears too hard on the bottom blade turn the

adjusting screws back at least a full turn and again carefully screw

down until correctly adjusted. Retighten clamping nuts.

HEIGHT OF CUT

The cutting height is raised by turning the adjusting knob (B) in a

clockwise direction. To cut lower, reverse procedure. When

adjusting for low cutting, do not set mower so low that the weight of

the machine is taken on the bottom blade instead of the front roller.

This would affect cutting, and also excessive load on the engine.

WARNING: Before making adjustments to the cutter or chains,

remove spark plug lead to avoid accidentally starting the engine.

CUTTER CHAIN ADJUSTMENT

Slacken nut (E). Move nylon chain adjuster

to give correct chain tension and retighten

nut. When correctly adjusted chain should

be slightly slack and not tightly stretched.

IMPORTANT: Check the chain tensioner

every time the cutting cylinder gets adjusted.

CLUTCH AND DRUM CHAINS

Both chains are adjusted by loosening two

nuts (G), and moving this sprocket upwards

which tightens both chains simultaneously.

After re-tightening nuts, some slackness

should be felt in each chain.
