Area of use
Cutting and collection
Grass is collected to the grass catcher (catcher capacity is
reduced if grass is moist or wet). To fasten the grass catcher
to the mower, lift the cover plate and fit the grass catcher.
Cutting (without grass catcher)
The cut grass is left in stripes.
GAS CONTROL
Self-propelled movement is controlled as follows: press the
automatic switch-off clip (10) towards the handle and the gas
lever (11) towards the handle at the same time.
To stop the forward movement, release the gas lever (11).
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The wheels height must be adjusted depending on the required
cutting height. Using the lever (8), adjust the height as required.
The medium position is ideal for most of the mowers.
ADDING OIL BEFORE STARTING THE APPLIANCE
Oil level must be checked every time the appliance is to be
used. Add oil (500ml SAE30 engine oil) if necessary.
Your mower is supplied without oil in the engine.
WARNING: Make sure the engine oil does not overflow as
the absorber would smoke when the appliance is started.
1. Make sure the mower is standing on a level surface.
2. Remove the cap off the oil tank.
3. Insert and attach the oil gauge.
IMPORTANT:
Check the oil level every time the appliance is to be used.
•
Add oil to the gauge level marking if necessary.
• Change oil after 25 hours of operation or after the season
is over. Oil may need to be changed more often in a dusty
or dirty environment, see the "OIL CHANGE" in the
Servicing Section in this manual (SAE 30).
ADDING FUEL(unleaded)
• Fuel is added through the filling hole in the tank. Make
sure fuel is not spilled. Use common pure unleaded fuel.
Mix the fuel with oil. Buy only adequate fuel volume so that
it can be consumed within 30 days.
WARNING: Spilled oil or fuel to be wiped off. Not to
be stored, spilled, used near open fire.

WARNING: Alcohol-enriched fuels (gasohol) or fuels with
ethyl alcohol or methanol mixtures may attract humidity and
subsequent acid formation. Due to long storing, pure fuel
may damage the engine fuel system. To prevent engine
problems, you should empty the fuel system before storing
the appliance 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 irrevocable engine damage.
STARTING THE ENGINE
When starting the appliance, first make sure the spark plug is
in place and there is sufficient amount of oil and fuel in the
appliance.
Caution: The engine may smoke when the appliance is started
for the first time, which is caused by the protective oil film on the
inside surface of the engine. Take this as normal.
Press the primary pump (13) 3-5 times.
1.
Press the automatic switch-off clip (12) towards
2.
the sliding handle (1).
With the automatic switch-off clip (12) engaged,
3.
pull out slowly the starting cord (9) until you can feel slight
resistance and then pull strongly the starter until the engine
starts.
Caution: The first steps may need to be repeated several
times in cold weather or when the appliance has not been
operated for a long time.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
To stop the engine, release the automatic switch-off clip (12).
CAUTION: The knife keeps rotating for a couple of
seconds after the engine has been switched off. To leave
the mower unattended, disconnect the spark plug cap.
Important tips and advice for cutting grass!!!
• Adjusting a bigger cutting height may be necessary under
certain conditions, e.g. grass being too high, to relief the
strain when pushing the mower, remove engine overloading
and prevent grass from getting stuck in the mower. It is
possible that the area will need to be cut more times.
• 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 applying it.
• Keep the upper part of the engine at the starter clean. This will
improve the air flow and increase the engine service life.
• Cut in dry weather only.
• Keep the knives sharp at all times.
SERVICING
IMPORTANT – Regular servicing is absolutely necessary for
constant operational reliability and maintaining the original
appliance performance.
Original spare parts are supplied by the customer service
centre and dealers. An authorised service centre is
recommended to provide the annual servicing and inspection
