Important! Before You Start Mowing

• Check the engine oil.
• Fill the fuel tank with petrol.
• Check the air pressure of the tyres.
• Check the level of the mower hous ing.
• Attach the battery cables.
Check The Tyres
Check the air pressure in the tyres. Tyres with too much air
pressure will cause the unit to ride rough. Also, the wrong
air pressure will keep the mower housing from cutting level.
The correct air pressure is: Front Tyres 0,97 BAR (14 PSI),
Rear Tyres 0,69 BAR (10 PSI). The tyres were over inflated
for shipment.
Check The Level Of The Mower Housing
Make sure the level of cut is still correct. After you mow a
short distance, look at the area that was cut. If the mower
housing does not cut level, see the instructions on "How To
Level The Mower Housing" in the Maintenance section of
this instruction book.
How To Prepare The Engine
NOTE: The engine was shipped from the fac tory filled with
oil. Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.
See the engine manufacturer's instructions for the type
of petrol and oil to use. Before you use the unit, read the
information on safety, oper ation, maintenance, and storage.
WARNING: Follow the engine manu facturer's
instructions for the type of petrol and oil to use.
Always use a safety petrol container. Do not smoke
when adding petrol to the engine. When inside an
enclosure, do not fill with petrol. Before you add
petrol, stop the engine. Let the engine cool for
several minutes.
