Petrol is highly flammable. Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose. Refuel outdoors only, before starting the engine and do not smoke while refueling or handling fuel. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol vapors have dissipated.
Fig.8C Fig.8D Fig.8E Start the engine carefully according to instructions and with feet well away from the blade. Do not tilt the lawn mower when starting the engine. Start the mower on a level surface, free of high grass or obstacles. Keep hands and feet away from the rotating parts. Do not start the engine when standing in front of the discharge opening. 7.3 OPERATION PROCEDURES During operation, tightly hold the brake handle with both hands.
Avoid cutting wet grass: For effective mowing do not cut wet grass, because it tends to stick to the underside of the deck preventing proper mowing of the grass. General Recommendations: Cut no more than 1/3 the length of the grass. Ground speed will need to be adjusted to aid the even distribution of clippings onto the lawn. For especially heavy cutting in thick grass it may be necessary to use one of the slowest speeds in order to get a clean well mowed cut.
CAUTION: before changing mowing height, stop mower and disconnect spark plug cable. Your mower is equipped with a central height adjustment lever offering 7 height positions. The height (the blade to the ground) can be adjusted from 25mm to 75mm (7 height positions). (Fig.12) The lowest adjustment:25mm (position 1),the highest adjustment:75mm (position 7). 1. Stop mower and disconnect spark plug cable before changing mower cutting height. 2.
Fig.13A Fig.13B 10.2 CUTTING BLADE CAUTION: Be sure to disconnect and ground the spark plug wire before working on the cutting blade to prevent accidental engine starting. Protect hands by using heavy gloves or a rag to grasp the cutting blades .Tip the mower as specified in the separate engine manual. Remove the hex bolt and washer which hold the blade and blade adapter to the engine crankshaft. Remove the blade and adapter from the crankshaft.
Service the air cleaner as per the separate engine manual under normal conditions. Clean every few hours under extremely dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and flooding usually indicates that the air cleaner should be serviced. To service the air cleaner, refer to the separate engine manual packed with your unit. The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap reset once a season.
3. Slightly grease the cutter to avoid corrosion. 4. Store the lawnmower in a dry, clean and frost-protected place, out of reach of unauthorised persons. 5. Store the starter battery where it will be protected from frost. 6. Recharge the starter battery from time to time. 7. Store the charger in a dry and locked place that is generally free of dust. Ensure that it is protected from unauthorised use (e.g. by children). 8.
