SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read and understand the owner’s manual and labels afxed to

the lawn mower. Learn its application and limitations as well

as the specic potential hazards. Retain these instructions for

reference.

• Use sturdy footwear - do not operate when barefoot or wearing

open sandals.

• Do not put handsor feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of

the discharge opening at all times.

• Do NOT operate the lawn mower if you are tired, ill or under the

inuence of alcohol or drugs.

• Do NOT smoke when using the lawn mower and ensure caution

when handling fuel. We recommend you fuel the machine away

from where you wish to work in case any spilt fuel ignites when

starting the engine.

• Ensure that bystanders, children and pets stay at a safe

distance when mowing and only allow persons familiar with these

instructions to use the lawn mower.

• Inspect the lawn mower, and in particular the blade, before use for

any worn or damaged parts. Do not use until the parts are repaired

or replaced with parts approved by the manufacturer.

• Before starting the engine make sure the lawn is clear of obstacles

such as stones, branches or children’s toys.

• Always stop the engine when crossing gravel drives, walks or

roads. Stop the engine and allow the blade to stop rotating

before removing the grass bag.

• Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug before clearing

blockages, cleaning or inspecting the mower.

• Do not operate when raining and take particular care on damp

grass which can prove slippery, particularly on slopes.

• When mowing on a slope always mow across the slope, not up

and down. Take care when changing direction. The slope should

not exceed 20 degrees.

• Clean the mower after each use and, if storing for a prolonged

period, drain the fuel in the tank. Remove the spark plug

and put a few drops of oil into the cylinder before pulling the

starter a couple of times to distribute the oil evenly. Replace the

spark plug. If you need to tilt the mower while cleaning always tip it

backwards towards the handles, do not tip it on its side as this will

cause oil to enter the carburettor or exhaust.

ASSEMBLY

Insert the Drive Cable into the Drive Lever.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION

The lawn mower is shipped without oil or petrol in the

engine.

The mower has been assembled and tested in the factory and

only needs a small amount of assembly.

 Remove the lawnmower carefully from the box - it may be

easier to remove one side of the box and roll the machine

out.

 Depress the Brake Lever, unfold the handles carefully so as

not to pinchthe cables then raise the lower handles. Fit the

two bolts and wingnuts from the parts bag, which will lock the

lower handle into place. Raise the upper handle section so

that it lines up with the lower handle section. Tighten the

wingnuts.

 The diagram shows the position of the three parts of the

upper handle.

 The brake lever (sometimes called the operator presence

control lever) must be pulled back towards the handle to

start the engine and during operation. If the lever is

released it will automatically stop the engine.

 The drive control lever - pull this lever up towards the han-

dle to engage the self-propelled mode. If this is not engaged

the mower can be used in ‘push’ mode.

 The engine speed has been set at the factory for optimum

performance - it is not adjustable.

 The cutting height can be adjusted by a single lever through

7positions from 25-75mm. The medium position is best for

most lawns. Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass,

it may be necessary to cut the grass twice, once on the

highest setting and then again on medium.

Operation:

 Fill the engine with SAE30 oil to the ‘full’ mark on the

dipstick. Check the level of the oil.

 Fill the fuel tank with unleaded petrol.

 Pull the brake lever back to the push handle and pull the

starter cord until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly to start the

engine.

Note: if the brake lever is released the engine will stop.

 Pull the drive control lever up towards the handle and the

lawnmower will self-propel.

OPERATION cont’d

The mower has four different operating modes.

1. Collecting:

• Ensure that the side cover is closed.

• Fit the grassbox by lifting the rear ap on the mower and hook

the front of the box to the shaft on the mower.

• Lower the ap to lock the grassbox in position.

• When the box isfull, the grass will be visible through the viewing

window in the top of the box.

• Stop the engine before emptying the grassbox.

2. Rear Discharge:

• Ensure that the side cover is closed.

• With the grassbox removed and the rear ap in the down positi-

on, the mower will cut and discharge the grass from the rear of

the machine.

3. Side Discharge:

• Fit the mulch plug to the rear discharge opening of the mower

and close the rear ap.

• Lift the cover on the side of the mower and attach the side dis-

charge chute as shown in the diagram.

• The mower will now eject grass from the side discharge chute.

4. Mulching:

• Fit the mulch plug to the rear discharge opening of the mower

and close the rear flap.

• Ensure that the side cover is in the closed position (with the

discharge chute removed).

• The mower will now recycle the chopped grass into the lawn

surface.

• To mulch efciently only cut one third of the length of the grass.

MAINTENANCE

Regular careful maintenance is essential for keeping the lawn-

mower in tip-top condition.

• Before each use, ensure that all bolts, nuts and screws are

tight.

• After each use, allow the mower to cool down before clean-

ing off any grass and other debris. Use a brush or com-

pressed air and avoid getting water into the engine.

• Never store the mower with petrol in the tank within an en-

closed area where it is possible for fumes to reach an open

ame or spark.

• When storing for a long period drain the mower of fuel after

the engine has cooled down. Do this outside to reduce any

risk of re from spilt fuel.

• Change the oil after the rst 5 hours and thereafter every

season or every 50 hours. Dispose of waste oil at your local

recycling centre.

• Clean the spark plug regularly and change every season.

To change the blades:

• Drain the fuel tank by running the mower until the fuel tank

is empty and the engine stops.

• Allow the engine to cool and then tip on to its left hand side

(air cleaner side uppermost).

• Using gloves to protect your hands, undo the screw and re-

move the old blade and replace with a new one in the order

shown on the diagram.

• Tighten the screw to the specied torque of 45 Nm.

A damaged blade that is out of balance will cause the

mower to vibrate and may break. Check the condition of

the blade regularly.
