Protect yourself against injury.
Before all work on this unit:
– Switch off the engine,
– Withdraw the ignition key,
– Lock the parking brake,
– Wait until all moving parts have
come to a standstill; the engine
must have cooled down.
– Pull off the spark plug connector
so that the engine cannot
inadvertently start.
Faults which occur while you are
using your mower often have sim-
ple causes which you should know
and may be able to rectify yourself.
