Poor engine performance
Should the engine (11) idle or run rough at full speed with excessive blue/
black smoke emanating from the muffler, it is possible that either the engine
was slightly tipped incorrectly (refer above). If the mower had previously been
tipped, allow the engine to run for a few minutes and the excess oil will burn
out.
If the engine is not running at full speed, check the fuel is fresh, check the oil
level, and also inspect under the deck to ensure there is no build up of grass.
Check the spark plug (47). If the mower continues to underperform, take the
mower to your nearest an authorised Service Agent.
Operating Functions of the Lawn Mower
Self propelled or manual operation of the lawn mower:
This lawn mower has the option to be manually pushed or engine driven
self propelled when the engine is operating.
1. Manual Operation:
The lawn mower is manually maneuvered under the user’s own power
when the mower is operating. ie the user is pushing the lawn mower to
power its movement forwards or backwards.
To operate this way manually, simply leave the self propel engage/
disengage bar (2) in its standard position. i.e DO NOT LIFT the self propel
engage/disengage bar (2) towards the upper handle bar (1). (Fig. P1)
2. Self Propelled Operation:
The self propelled operation will only operate when the engine of the
lawn mower is operating, and the self propel engage / disengage bar
(2) has been activated by lifting it up to the handle bar and holding in
position, (Fig. P2) hence the mower will move forward itself with the
operator steering and directing from the handlebars.
The self propelled operation is ONLY in the forward direction and is at a
set single speed.
To stop the self propelled function, release the self propel engage/
disengage bar (2) and the mower will cease forward movement. (Fig. P3)
