• Ensure this carried out in a well ventilated environment with no sources of ignition / heat in the area. When handling fuel, DO NOT smoke or use a
mobile phone.
• With the machine on level surface and after unscrewing the fuel tank cap (Fig.1) add the fuel, pouring it in up to the collar of the fuel tank but DO
NOT overll it to avoid over-spill.
• Always add fresh, clean and approved lead-free petrol with an octane rating of at least 95.
• WARNING! In the event that you spill any oil or fuel on the lawnmower when relling, wipe it away immediately. DO NOT store or add fuel or handle
it in any way in the vicinity of an open re.
• WARNING! Fuels mixed with alcohol or fuels with ethanol or methane additives may bind moisture to themselves, which may result in separation
during storage and the formation of acids.
• Subsequently during storage the acid vapours may damage the fuel system of the lawnmower engine. These fuels must not be used in the
lawnmower.
• IMPORTANT INFORMATION: When not using the lawnmower for longer than 30 days, drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and the carburettor are empty (the engine will stop on its own). This will prevent future engine problems.
• Before using it again, add fresh fuel into the fuel tank. For more information, see storage instructions.
Operation/Starting the mower
• Before starting the mower, ensure the safety instructions have been read, understood and applied and suitable PPE is being worn.
• Due to the vibrations of the product, it is recommended to take breaks at regular intervals.
• WARNING: DO NOT attempt to remove the grass box while the engine is running. Never open the ejector ap when the grass box has been
detached (to be emptied) and the engine is still running. The rotating blade can cause serious injuries!
• When initially starting the unit from cold, prime the unit by depressing the orange rubber priming bulb three or four times (Fig.1.13 ). This should
not be required when starting an already warmed up mower.
• If the engine stops due to lack of fuel, rell and depress priming bulb three or four times to restart.
• NOTE: if the engine won’t start after you have operated the starter several times, the engine may be ooded with excess fuel. Use following
procedure to clear and start a ooded engine.
• 1. Release the engine start/stop lever to stop engine.
• 2. Remove the spark plug, dry it, and then reinstall it.
• NOTE: Install the spark plug carefully by hand to avoid cross-threading. After the plug is seated tighten 1/8 to 1/4 turn with spark plug socket
spanner to compress the washer.
• Sharply pull the starter handle (g.1.4) to it’s extent and allow it to rewind gently under control. The engine should start after 2-4 pulls.
• CAUTION! A small amount of smoke may be emitted when the engine is started up for the rst time as the protective layers in the engine are
burnt off. This is completely normal and does not constitute a problem.
• To turn the engine off, release the start/Stop slowly. DO NOT let go or release quickly in an emergency as this can damage your engine.
• NOTE: The cutting blade may not stop immediately.
• The operator should not alter or tamper with any sealed adjustments for the engine speed control.
• MOWING
• ADJUST HEIGHT (Fig. 1.7)
• DO NOT attempt to adjust cutting height whilst spark plug boot is attached or the engine is running.
• The mowing height is set centrally using the central mowing height adjustment lever (Fig. 1.7).
• Select from 7 positions in the range of 25 to 70 mm. The middle mowing height is the most suitable for the majority of lawns.
• Lawn damage may result when the lowest height is set.
• For maximum effectiveness, it is recommended to trim the grass by no more than 1 /3 of its length. To mow overgrown grass, proceed step by
step and decrease the height setting by one step after each mowing. To keep a quality lawn, DO NOT use the lowest mowing height setting.
• WORKING TIPS
• Select your required height setting.
• Start the engine and allow it to run up to a steady, constant speed.
• Keep a rm grip on the upper handle with engine stop/start lever and push the unit forwards to start mowing.
• Walk, never run with the mower, be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground.
• Mow across slopes, never up and down.
• Be careful when changing the direction of the mower on a slope.
• DO NOT mow excessively steep slopes.
• The best result will be achieved if the grass is dry. Wet grass will tend to clog the blade and the grass collection system.
• Grass grows at different rates at different time of the year. Never use the lowest cutting height for the rst cut of the season or in drought
conditions.
• Only about one third of the grass height should be cut.
• DO NOT cut high or wet grass. When you have been cutting for several minutes, please stop the mower, and clean the blade and the deck.
• DO NOT remove grass debris in the mower casing or on the blade by hand or with your feet. Instead use suitable tools such as a brush or broom.
• As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn mower, it is time to empty the grass bag.
• NOTE: Before taking off the grass bag, switch off the engine and wait until the blade has come to a stop.
• To take off the grass bag, use one hand to lift up ejector ap and the other to grab onto the carry handle. The ejector ap automatically falls down
after removing the grass bag and closes off the rear chute opening.
• Empty the grass debris in the grass bag, and ret grass Bag.
• MOWING WITH THE GRASS CATCHER
• When the grass catcher is installed, grass clippings are discharged into the grass catcher.
• In case of poor collection of mower grass, please increase the mowing height and check whether the lawn is wet.
• MOWING WITH REAR DISCHARGE
• Without the grass catcher installed, the grass catcher cover serves as a deector that directs the movement of the grass clippings towards the
ground. The cover is held rmly down by an applied spring. A row of grass clippings is thereby formed behind the lawnmower.
• To t the grass bag, lift the deector on the mower body and locate the hooks on the bag onto the mower body.
• If the grass bag is not tted, the tted, spring loaded deector will direct the cuttings towards the ground.
• DO NOT operate the mower without either the grass bag tted or the deector tted and facing downwards. DO NOT use the mower on slopes
with an inclination of more than 20° - otherwise motor seizure might occur.
• Cleaning
• WARNING! Before carrying out cleaning, maintenance or repairs, stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug.
• NOTE: If any grass residue is caught in the discharge chute, clean it using a brush. DO NOT remove grass debris in the mower casing or on the
blade by hand or with your feet. Instead use suitable tools such as a brush or broom. To ensure that the cut grass can be collected into grass box,
5
the discharge opening and inside the mower casing must be cleared of any blockage.
• The lawn mower should be cleaned thoroughly every time after it has been used.
• DO NOT allow grass cuttings and other debris to become dry and hard on any of the mower surfaces.
• Dried grass remnants and dirt may impair the mowing operation.
• Check that the grass chute is free of any residual grass. Remove any such residue.
• Check the underside of the lawn mower and the blade mount . For this purpose ,tilt the Lawn mower onto its left side (opposite the oil ller neck)
• NOTE: Before placing the lawn mower on its side, fully drain the fuel tank using a petrol extraction pump. DO NOT tilt the lawn mower by more
than 90
o
.
• Maintenance
• WARNING! Before carrying out cleaning, maintenance or repairs, stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug.
• OIL
• Replace the oil after the rst 5 hours of operation and subsequently after every 25 hours of operation.
• To change the motor oil, with suitable receptacle in place, remove the dip stick (Fig.1.6) and tilt the unit to fully drain it. Replace the dip stick after
draining and rell as described in the Preparation section. DO NOT overll. Start the engine and run for a short time. Stop the engine and after 1
minute, measure the oil level. Add oil if required.
• All nuts, pins and bolts must be properly tightened so that the machine is in a safe and operational condition. Regular maintenance is the basic
prerequisite for ensuring safety of the user, maintain the lawnmowers operating condition and high performance.
• Never store a machine with petrol in the fuel tank inside a building where the fumes could come within range of an open re, sparks or sources of
high temperature.
• Before storing in any enclosed area, allow the engine to cool down.
• To reduce the risk of a re, ensure that the lawnmower and in particular the engine, exhaust muer and also the location of spare fuel storage are
free of grass, leaves or excessive amounts of lubricant.
• Regularly inspect the condition of the deector and the grass catcher; replace if damaged.
• Drain the fuel in a well ventilated area when the engine has cooled down.
• Regularly inspect the lawnmower and ensure that all grass deposits are removed from the underside of the chassis.
• Regularly lubricate the axle of the chassis and the bearings using a suitable lubricant.
• In regular intervals, check that all nuts and bolts are tightened. Nuts and bolts that are worn out or incorrectly tightened may cause serious
damage to the engine or the frame.
• BLADE
• Regularly inspect the condition of the blades because they have a signicant effect on the performance of the lawnmower. Blades should always
be sharp and balanced. It is necessary to check the balance of the mowing blade every time that it is sharpened. To do this, insert a steel axle
(with a diameter of 2-3 mm) into the middle hole. If it is correctly levelled, the axis will remain in the horizontal position.
• If the blade does not remain in the horizontal position, replace it.
• When removing or installing the mowing blade, use thick work gloves.
• If the blade strongly impacts an obstacle, stop the lawnmower and take it to an authorized service centre.
• The blade is made from pressed steel. To achieve the best possible mowing results, regularly sharpen the blades, approximately after every 25
hours of operation.
• When removing the blade, remove the bolt, check the load bearing part of the blade. If the parts are worn out or damaged, replace them.
• WARNING! Always use only original spare parts. Poor quality spare parts may
cause serious damage to the lawnmower and create a safety hazard.
• REPLACING MOWER BLADES (Fig.2)
• For safety reasons you should only ever have your blade sharpened , balanced
and mounted by an authorised service workshop. For optimum results it is
recommended that the blade should be inspected once a year.
• WARNING! Before you remove the grass collection bag, stop the engine and wait
until the blade stops completely.
• WARNING! You will need garden gloves (not provided) and a spanner (not
provided} to remove the blade.
• NOTE! DO NOT invert the mower. Tip it slightly towards the oil ller pipe and reach under the deck
• WARNING! Always handle the blade with care, sharp edges could cause injury. USE GLOVES. Renew your metal blade after 50Hrs mowing or 2yrs
whichever is sooner regardless of condition
• WARNING! If the blade is cracked or damaged replace it with a new one.
• WARNING! DO NOT hold the blade by hand directly.
• NOTE! Maintain the sharpness of the blade when cutting grass. If the blade has worn excessively and become pitted and blunt, it should be
replaced or sharpened. The sharpness of the blade will affect the performance of the lawnmower.
• For safety reasons we recommend that the blade only be changed by someone qualied and authorized to do so.
• Hold the blade and unscrew the blade bolt counter-clockwise using a spanner wrench. Remove the washer and the blade.
• Fit a new blade or re-sharpen the blade, locate the blade on the two studs on the blade an and then replace the washer and bolts. Make
sure the blade is correctly located and then rmly tighten the bolt. DO NOT over-tighten. The up turn of the blade must project into the motor
compartment.
• AIR FILTER (Fig. 3)
• Clean the air lter regularly.
• Soiled air lter reduce the engine output by supplying too little air to the carburettor. If the air contains a lot of
dust, the air lter should be checked more frequently.
• Remove the air cleaner outside cover (A). Be careful to prevent dirt and debris from falling into the air cleaner
assembly.
• Separate the Air Filter (B) from the Air Filter Housing (C).
• lnspect the air lter. Clean dirty air lter with warm water and mild soap. Allow air lter to dry thoroughly before
re-installation
• lnstall the air lter into the mounting moulding inside the carburettor.
• Note: DO NOT use pressurized air or solvents to clean the lter. Pressurized air can damage the lter and
solvents will dissolve the lter.
• OIL CHANGE also refer to Preparation section above
• To change the motor oil, remove the dip stick (Fig.1.6) and tilt the unit to fully drain it into a suitable receptacle.
Replace the dip stick after draining and rell as described in the Preparation section and Fig.3. DO NOT overll.
