8. Operation
m Attention!
Always make sure the product is fully assembled
before commissioning!
m CAUTION!
The engine does not come with oil in it. Therefore,
ensure that you add 0,4 liters of oil before starting
it up. Use normal, multigrade oil (SAE30). The oil
level in the engine must be checked each time be-
fore mowing.
You will also need to fill in petrol, as this is also not
supplied upon delivery.
• In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the
lawn mower, it comes equipped with an engine brake
(Fig. 1/ Item 3) which must be pulled back before
the engine can be started. When the engine control
lever is released it must return to its initial position,
at which point the engine automatically switches off.
• Press the engine brake lever (3) together and give
the starter cord (17) a vigorous pull. (Fig. 14)
Attention: When you pull the starting rope the cutting
blade rotates even when dissolved motor brake lever.
Make sure that there are no body parts in danger
zone of cutting blade.
• Before you start mowing, you should run through
this operation several times in order to ensure that
the machine is working properly.
m WARNING
Whenever you need to perform any kind of adjust-
ment and/or repair work on your lawn mower, wait
until the blade has come to a complete stop.
Warning! Danger of injury due to moving danger-
ous parts!
Always switch off the engine before carrying out
any adjustments, maintenance or repairs.
Caution: The blade begins to rotate as soon as the
engine is started.
Important: Before you start the engine, move the mo-
tor brake several times to be sure that the stop cable is
properly working.
Note: The engine is factory set to a speed that is opti-
mal for cutting and blowing grass into the basket and is
designed to provide many years of use.
• Check the oil level.
• Open the fuel tank cap and fill the petrol tank (6) up
to the lower point of the tank inlet with about 1,0 litres
of petrol. Use a funnel and a measuring container
for filling. Do not overfill the tank. Use fresh, clean
unleaded fuel.
Never mix oil with petrol. Buy fuel in amounts which
can be used within 30 days in order to guarantee its
freshness.
Note: Use only unleaded gasoline.
m WARNING
Only use a safety petrol can. Do not smoke when refu-
eling. Remove any oil or petrol residues. Switch off the
engine before refueling and allow the engine to cool
down for a few minutes.
