BEFORE EACH USE
• Always ensure that the mower is in a safe working condition. Inspect the cutter blade for damage; check safety
devices and guards; check that all nuts, bolts and screws are secure.
• Check the oil level as follows:
a) Remove the oil ller cap and wipe the dipstick clean (Figure 14.A).
b) Ret the dipstick into the ller neck, screw it down. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level; oil should be at the top
of the full indicator on the dipstick (Figure 14.B) . The oil tank capacity is 0,50 litre.
c) If the oil level is low add Mounteld oil part number MX855 or a SAE 30 or 10W-30 oil, to the top of the full indicator on
the dipstick. Slowly add oil into the engine oil ll (Figure 14.C). Do not overll.
d) Reinstall and tighten the dipstick.
• Fill the fuel tank with unleaded petrol. Do not overll, there is no need
to ll tank to the top. The fuel tank need only contain enough fuel to
complete the days mowing. If you run out of fuel, relling must only be
carried out once the engine has cooled. Fuel stored within the machine
for 30 days or more can go stale and should be drained before further
use.
