Fitting and adjustment

Before starting the engine

familiar with the machine to operate the lawnmower. Even
if the machine has very effective protections it could throw
out solid objects that can cause injurys.
7. Keep the lawn as clear as possible of stones or other
objects that the lawnmower can strike. Avoid driving over
gravel paths etc.
8. Famillarize lawnmower operators with the risks and ex-
plain how accident are to be avoided.
9. The machine may not be used for any other purpose than
cutting grass.
10. Wear pants and suitable shoes while cutting grass. Be
aware that a lawn could be slippery!
11. Never touch anything under the cutting deck, as for
instance dismount or mount the mulching insert, without
disconnecting the spark plug cable fi rst.
12. Do not use the lawnmower if any protection or safety
device is damaged. Inspect the machine before every use.
Control regularly that all screws and nuts are faste ned,
especially blade and engine.
correspond to 3-6 mm grass height. (2,5 - 5,5 cm on the
Triumph and 3,0-5,0 on the Pro 17 GCV).
All the weels are set simultaneously in one operation. Make
use of the effi cient height setting of the KLIPPO lawn-mowers
when mowing edges or trimming.
Never cut grass unnecessarily short. This makes spreading
more diffi cult and increases the risk of "scalping".
Discharge protection for Klippo Pro 4 SD, please look at the
enclosed assembly instruction.
Mulching insert Excellent-,Champion and Pro 19-models
This insert is mounted on the Excellent-models and is dis-
mounted on the Pro 19-models by delivery. This is mounted/
dismounted by the two screws on the rear/upper part of the
cutting deck (fi g. 11). Beware that the spark plug cable is discon-
nected before dismounting/mounting!
RUNNING-IN and FIRST OIL CHANGE
The engine has already been adjusted and require no run-
ning-in as such, although you should run it at no more than
moderate load for the fi rst few hours. Remeber to change the
oil the fi rst time after fi ve hours of operation (fi g. 9), and then
every twenty-fi ve hours.
PETROL
Use leadfree 95 octane petrol. Stop the engine before fi lling.
Do not overfi ll the tank so much that it overfl ows. Leave
