haling the petrol fumes and always refuel in outside
and well ventilated areas.
WARNING: Lawn mower is delivered without oil and

The lawn mower is equipped with a 4-stroke en-
gine meaning gasoline should be used in fuel tank
and the engine case should be filled with 4-stroke
engine oil.
Fuel specifications: Unleaded gasoline

quirements of API service class SF or higher. For
general use (5°C - 38°C) the recommended oil is
SAE 15W-30. Engine oil capacity: 0,5L

tween the top of the fuel and the inside edge
of the tank to allow for expansion.
