SAE15W/40 SF lawnmower grade engine oil into
the engine via the oil filler (fig .5). Replace the
dipstick and tighten.
2. Before you use the mower each time, check
the oil level (fig. 6) and if necessary top up with
SAE15W/40 SF oil. To check the oil level, unscrew
the dipstick, wipe with a rag and replace into the
oil filler (do not screw back in place), remove the
dipstick again and check the level.

FILL FUEL TANk wITh pETROL
Petrol is highly flammable so extreme caution
must be taken when handling it. Always store
petrol in approved containers and you must
ensure that you use fresh petrol that it is less than
4-6 weeks old. Do not mix oil with petrol.
4. To put petrol in the fuel tank, firstly remove
the warning label from the petrol cap. It's best
to fill the tank using a clean funnel, but never
fill it completely (fig. 7). Instead, leave at least
13mm from the bottom of the filler neck to allow
for expansion. Ensure that you securely tighten
the petrol cap after filling. (Funnel & fuel not
supplied).
WARNING! Turn mower off before adjusting cutting
height lever.
CUTTING hEIGhT ADjUSTMENT
For best results adjust the cutting height of your
mower to suit your mower conditions. Do not try
to remove too much grass in one pass. Adjustment
of the cutting height is made centrally. Hold the
Cut Height Adjustment Lever, positioned on the
mower's right-hand rear wheel. Move the lever
outwards to release it from its locating notch.
Move the lever towards the front of the machine in
order to increase the cutting height, or towards the
rear in order to reduce the cutting height. Return
the lever to the locating notch to set the desired
cutting height. Make sure the handle fits snugly and
securely into its serrated holder (see fig 9).

ties at start-up.
2. Push the red primer three times (fig.10) Note:
f
Priming is usually unnecessary when restarting a
warm engine. Note: If you push the primer too
many times, excessive fuel will flood the carbure-
tor and the engine will be difficult to start.
3. Stand behind the handlebars. Move the op-

erator control lever positioned in
handlebars rearwards so that the lever is resting
against the handlebars (fig.11). Take hold of the
starter handle firmly with the other hand.

off.

STOppING ThE MOwER

To stop the mower, release the operator control
lever. The engine and the blade will stop turning
automatically. If there is a build-up of grass
beneath the chassis, stop the engine, remove the
spark plug cap and wait until the engine has been
cooled before clearing the grass.
when the engine has been switched off, the
cutter continues running for several seconds
therefore do not touch the underside of
the mower until the cutter has come to a
standstill!
MULChING INSERT AND SIDE

MULChING INSERT
The mulching insert prevents grass from being
collected by blocking the collection chute. This
allows the grass clippings to be deposited back
on the lawn during cutting.
Open the rear deflector guard, hold it in position
f
and insert the mulching insert into the rear dis-
charge chute (Fig. A). Ensure the lower side of the
handle snaps in place.
Press the lower side of the handle to release and
