ADJUSTMENTS
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the cutting height you must removed de wheels and adjusted manually to one of three settings. Set each
wheel to the same height to ensure an even cut.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
ALTITUDE
If the engine is being used in altitudes at or above 1500m, adjustments to the carburettor may be necessary. This is
because there is less oxygen in the air as altitude increases, which effectively "enriches" the ratio of fuel to the air
into the engine and the higher the altitude, the richer the fuel mixture becomes. If the engine is being permanently
operated at high altitude, it is recommended to have an authorized technical centre make the necessary carburettor
adjustments. If the engine is used occasionally at altitude (not at extreme altitudes) no adjustments should be required,
however, a slight decrease in engine performance can be expected.
TEMPERATURE
If the engine is being used in extremely cold or hot environments, such as in a desert or snow conditions, it may
be necessary to change the type of engine oil to adapt to ambient temperatures. Oil thickens as the temperature
decreases and thins as temperature increases, which means that if the engine oil is not suitable for the temperature,
its ability to properly lubricate the engine may be affected. Use the following table to determine the correct engine oil:
TIPS FOR MOWING THE LAWN
•
The equipment is designed for domestic use only.
•
Always wear appropriate footwear such as boots, long trousers whenever you use the product. DO NOT wear open
footwear or shorts.
•
Check the work area before mowing the lawn and remove any objects such as stones, etc. that may be thrown by
the mower or that may damage it.
•
If the machine hits an object during cutting or if an object is caught in the mower, stop the machine immediately.
