debris. Turn the cutting cylinder a few times to
clean the cutting edges.
Apply a little oil with a brush on all cutters to
prevent rusting.
Empty the fuel tank, turn off fuel tap.
Run engine until fuel in the carburettor has been
used up, clean filter bowl and tap. Whilst engine is
still warm, drain crankcase and refill with fresh
engine oil. Remove spark plug and pour in
approxiamately 50cc of anti-corrosive oil. Turn
engine over manuallly a few times to spread the oil
over the cylinder walls and replace the spark plug.
Turn engine over slowly until restistance is felt, this
will ensure both valves are fully closed to prevent
moisture entering. Cover engine. Oil all pivot
points, adjusting screws and drive chains.
GENERAL ADVICE
After the first few hours of use, the machine should
be checked to see that all nuts and bolts are tight.
Before cutting, make sure the area to be cut is free
from stones etc, as these may well damage the
cutting cylinder.
Do not put the mower away with grass cuttings left
in the box.
