• Check the oil level.

• Open the fuel tank cap and ll the petrol tank (6)

up to the lower point of the tank inlet with about 0.8

litres of petrol. Use a funnel and a measuring con-

tainer for lling. Do not overll the tank. Use fresh,

clean unleaded fuel.

Never mix oil with petrol. Buy fuel in amounts which

can be used within 30 days in order to guarantee

its freshness.

Note: Use only unleaded gasoline.

m WARNING

Only use a safety petrol can. Do not smoke when re-

fueling. Remove any oil or petrol residues. Switch off

the engine before refueling and allow the engine to

cool down for a few minutes.

Start engine (Fig. 14)

• Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to the

spark plug.

• Stand behind the mower. One hand squeezes the

engine brake lever (3) to the handle, the other pulls

the pull start.

• Start the engine using the reversing starter (17). To

do this pull the handle approx. 10 – 15 cm (until you

feel a resistance) and then start the engine with a

sharp pull. If the engine does not start, pull the han-

dle again.

• Due to protective coating on the engine, a small

amount of smoke may be present during the initial

use of the product and should be considered nor-

mal.

Note: Easier starting in colder temperatures by

pressing the primer Fig. 20 (21). Use only by a

cold engine!

m CAUTION!

• Never allow the starter cord to snap back.

• Note: In cold weather, it may be necessary to re-

peat the starting process several times.

Turn off the engine:

• To turn off the engine, release the drive lever (2),

then the engine brake lever (3) and wait for the

blades to stop.

• Pull the spark plug boot from the spark plug (10)

boot in order to prevent the engine from restarting.

• Before you start the engine again, check the cord

for the engine brake. Check that the cord is correct-

ly tted. If the cord is kinked or damaged, it should

be replaced.

• In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the

lawn mower, it comes equipped with an engine

brake (Fig. 1/ Item 3) which must be pulled back

before the engine can be started. When the engine

control lever is released it must return to its initial

position, at which point the engine automatically

switches off.

• Press the engine brake lever (3) together and give

the starter cord (17) a vigorous pull. (Fig. 14)

Attention: When you pull the starting rope the cut-

ting blade rotates even when dissolved motor brake

lever. Make sure that there are no body parts in

danger zone of cutting blade.

• When the engine is running, press the drive lever

(2) to the handle (1) in order to engage drive on the

mower.

• Before you start mowing, you should run through

this operation several times in order to ensure that

the machine is working properly.

m WARNING

Whenever you need to perform any kind of ad-

justment and/or repair work on your lawn mower,

wait until the blade has come to a complete stop.

Always switch off the engine before carrying out

any adjustments, maintenance or repairs.

m Note!

Using the drive:

• Engine brake (3): Use the lever to stop the engine.

When you release the lever the engine and the

blade stop automatically.

• To mow, hold the drive lever (2) in the working po-

sition. Before you start to mow, check the start/

stop lever several times to be sure that it is work-

ing properly. Ensure that the tension cable can be

smoothly operated (i.e. is not catching or kinking in

any way).

• Drive lever (2):

If you press this the clutch for the drive will be

closed and the lawnmower will start to move with

the motor running. Release the drive lever in good

time to stop the moving lawnmower. Practice start-

ing and stopping before you use the mower for the

rst time until you are familiar with controlling the

mower.

Caution: The blade begins to rotate as soon as the

engine is started.

Important: Before you start the engine, move the

motor brake several times to be sure that the stop

cable is properly working.

Note: The engine is factory set to a speed that is op-

timal for cutting and blowing grass into the basket and

is designed to provide many years of use.
