START THE ENGINE 

To start the engine, first check that the spark plug is tightened and that the machine is filled with sufficient 

oil and petrol. 

NOTE:

 Due to the protective coating on the engine, a small amount of smoke may be present during the 

first use of the product and should be considered normal. 

Hold the operator presence control bar down to the handle and pull starter handle quickly. 

Hold the starter handle as the rope retracts back into the mower do not allow the rope to snap back. 

STOP THE ENGINE 

z

To stop the engine, release the operator presence control bar. 

WARNING! 

The blade may continue to rotate for a few seconds after the engine has stopped. 

Disconnect the spark plug cap if the lawnmower is to be left unattended. 

MOWING TIPS 

z

Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary to raise the height of cut to 

reduce pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine and leaving clumps of grass clippings. 

It may also be necessary to reduce ground speed and/or run the lawnmower over the area a second 

time. 

z

For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut by overlapping the previously cut path and mow 

slowly. 

z

Pores in cloth grass catchers can become filled with dirt and dust with use and catchers will collect 

less grass. To prevent this, regularly hose the catcher off with water and let it dry before use. 

z

Keep the top of engine around the starter clean and clear of grass clippings and chaff. This will help 

engine air flow and extend engine life. 

MAINTENANCE 

IMPORTANT - Regular, careful maintenance will extend the lifespan of your machine and ensure 

that it runs efficiently and safely.   

1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.   

Regular maintenance is essential for safety and performance. 

2) Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside a building where vapours may reach a flame, 

spark or a source of heat. 

3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in an enclosed space. 

4) To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, exhaust silencer, battery compartment and fuel storage area 

free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Do not store containers full of grass cuttings. 

5) For safety reasons, do not use the equipment with worn or damaged parts. Parts are to be replaced not 

repaired. Use genuine spare parts (blades should always bear the symbol). 

Parts that are not of the same quality can damage the equipment and be dangerous for your safety. 

6) If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors and when the engine is cool. 

7) Wear strong work gloves when removing and reassembling the blade. 

8) Check the blade’s balance after sharpening. 

9) Check the self-closing guard and grass-catcher frequently for wear and deterioration. 

10) Whenever the machine is to be handled, transported or tilted you must: 

- Wear strong working gloves; 

- Grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip, clear of the blade and taking account of the weight 

of the machine and its distribution.
