The forward movement is stopped by releasing the drive lever
(13)
.
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Depending on the cutting height required it is necessary to
adjust the height of wheels. Adjust the height with the lever
(8)
as you wish. The middle position is most suitable at most
mowers.
ADD OIL BEFORE STARTING
The oil level needs to be checked before each use. Fill up oil
as needed (SAE30 engine oil).
The mower is supplied without oil in the engine.
WARNING:
Be careful not to overfill the engine with oil,
failing which the absorber would smoke when starting.
Make sure the mower stands on a flat surface.
Take out the oil tank cover.
Insert the oil dipstick and fix it.
IMPORTANT:
The oil level needs to be checked before each use. If
necessary, add oil to the marking on the oil dipstick.
The oil must be changed after 25 hours of operation or each
season. At works in a dusty or polluted environment the oil
may need to be changed more often. See “ OIL CHANGE ” in
the Maintenance article in these operating instructions
(SAE
30).
FUEL ADDING (unleaded petrol)
The fuel is added through the filling hole in the tank. Pay
attention not to spill the petrol. Use common
clean
unleaded petrol
. Do not mix the petrol with oil. Always
buy only reasonable volume of petrol so that you could
consume it within 30 days.
WARNING: Wipe any spilled oil or petrol. Do not store,
pour, use near open fire.
WARNING:
Alcohol-enriched fuels (gasohol) or fuels with
ethyl alcohol or methanol mixtures may attract humidity and
subsequent acid formation. The clean petrol may as a result
of long storage damage the engine fuel system. If you want
to prevent engine problems you should empty the fuel
system before storing for more than 30 days. Empty the fuel
tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel system and
carburettor are empty. Add fresh fuel each season. See the
storing instructions, too. Never pour cleaners to the fuel tank
to clean the engine or carburettor. By doing so, you could
cause irreparable engine damage.
ENGINE STARTING
FUEL TAP - MODEL SPECIFIC - OPEN THE FUEL
TAP BEFORE EVERY START AND CLOSE IT WHEN
THE CUTTING OPERATION IS FINISHED.
At starting first make sure the spark plug is in its place and
there is sufficient amount of oil and petrol in the device.
CAUTION:
The engine may smoke at first starting due
to protective oil film on the inner engine surface.
Consider this as normal.

laying unattended then disconnect the spark plug cap.
Important tips and advice for grass cutting!!!
•
Under certain conditions, e.g. when the grass is very high, it
may be necessary to adjust bigger cutting height so that effort
at pushing the mower was reduced, engine overloading
removed and blocking of grass in the mower prevented. It is
possible you will also have to reduce the mower travel speed
and/or cut the area again.
•
If cutting is very difficult it may be suitable to reduce the travel
speed and mower gear.
•
Vent ports in the grass catcher may get blocked if the catcher
is not cleaned regularly. Clean the grass catcher regularly with
water and let it dry before use.
•
Keep the upper part of the engine in the
starter place clean. Air flow will be improved
and engine life increased by doing so.
•
Cut in dry weather only.
•
Always keep the knives sharp.
