Never place your hands or feet under the lawnmower or grass ejection area whilst the
engine is running.

Remove all hazardous objects from the lawn which could be thrown up by the lawnmower
before mowing.
E)
Keep children, animals and bystanders away when the lawnmower is in operation.
F)

OPERATION: OUTDOOR USE ONLY
A)
Before using the lawnmower for the first time read the engine manual supplied with your
lawnmower (NOTE: Lawnmower is delivered without oil, add 0.4 litres (99cc engine) or 0.6
litres (139 & 173cc engines) of SAE10w30 or 15w40 engine oil before starting the
lawnmower – DO NOT OVERFILL).
STARTING PROCEDURE:
Once the lawnmower has been assembled start the engine as follows:
Fill engine with SAE10w30 or 15w40 engine oil, do not overfill.
Fill the fuel tank with straight, fresh UNLEADED petrol, only use clean, fresh petrol – stale petrol
may have a lower combustible value and contain deposits that will clog the carburettor, causing
the engine not to start. The petrol level should be below the bottom of the fuel tank neck.
Ensure that the spark plug lead is securely connected to the spark plug.
