whilst engine is running.

18.Never pick up or carry a lawnmower while the
engine is running

19.Spark plug wire may be hot - handle with care.

20.Do not attempt any maintenance on your

lawnmower when the engine is hot.

21.Release the Operator Presence Control, to stop
the engine, and wait until the blade has stopped:-

- before leaving the mower unattended for any
period;

22.Release the Operator Presence Control, to stop
the engine, wait until the blade has stopped,
disconnect the spark plug lead and wait until the
engine has cooled:-

- before refuelling

- before clearing a blockage;

- before checking, cleaning or working on the
appliance;

- if you hit an object. Do not use your lawnmower
until you are sure that the entire lawnmower is in
a safe operating condition.;

- if the lawnmower starts to vibrate abnormally.
Check immediately. Excessive vibration can
cause injury.

23.Reduce the throttle setting during engine shut
down and, if the engine is provided with a shut­off valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion of
mowing.

Maintenance and storage

1. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure

the lawnmower is in safe working condition.

2. Check the grassbox/grassbag frequently for
wear or deterioration.

3. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

your lawn will suffer if more that one third of its
length is cut at one time and this may also
result in poor collection.

HOW TO MOW

Please Note:­Do not overload your Lawnmower

When mowing in long thick grass a first cut with the cutting height adjusted to its highest setting, see

Cutting Height, will help reduce motor overload and will help prevent damage to your lawnmower.

steps T1- T3.

1. Remove the wheel by turning the wheel hub in
an anticlockwise direction (T1) and relocate in
new hole (T2) turning the wheel hub in a
clockwise direction to tighten (T3). Repeat for
other wheels adjusting to the same position.

CUTTING HEIGHT (WITHOUT LEVERS)

C

UTTING HEIGHT (WITH LEVERS)

1. If you have Height of Cut levers (Figs. V), the

height of cut is altered by pulling the
adjustment lever away from the location slots
and moving to the selected position.

ensuring that the side stamped with ‘0’ on the
washer is facing away from the blade (X2).

3. Hold firmly and tighten blade bolt firmly with a
spanner. Do not over tighten.

Please note

potential fire hazard.

3. Clean your lawnmower

4. Store in a cool, dry place where your lawnmower

is protected from damage.

Engine Maintenance Schedule

Follow the hourly or calendar intervals, whichever
occur first. More frequent service is required when
operating in adverse conditions

First 5 hours - Change oil.
Every 5 hours or daily - Check oil level. Clean

finger guard. Clean around silencer.
Every 25 hours or every season - Change oil if
operating under heavy load or high ambient
temperature. Service air cleaner.
Every 50 hours or every season - Change oil.
Inspect spark arrester, if equipped.
Every 100 hours or every season - Clean cooling
system*. Replace spark plug.
* Clean more often under dusty conditions, or when

airborne debris is present or after prolonged operation
cutting tall, dry grass.

FAULT FINDING

Engine Will Not Start

1. Ensure OPC Lever is in the start position.

2. Check that the control lever is in the Fast (run)

position

3. Check that there is sufficient fuel in the tank and
the cap air vent is clear.

4. Remove and dry the spark plug.

5. Petrol may be stale, replace. Once petrol has

been replaced it may take a little time for fresh
petrol to filter through.

6. Check that the blade bolt is tight. A loose bolt
could cause difficult starting.

7. If the engine will still not start, immediately
disconnect the spark plug lead.
CONSULT YOUR LOCAL APPROVED SERVICE
CENTRE.

Engine Will Not Turn Over (Electrostart only)

1. Ensure OPC Lever is in the start position.

2. Battery flat - start your lawnmower manually.

3. If the engine will still not turn over,
immediately disconnect the spark plug lead.
CONSULT YOUR LOCAL APPROVED SERVICE
CENTRE.

Lack of Engine Power and/or Overheating

1. Check that the control lever is in the Fast (run) position.

2. Disconnect the spark plug lead and allow the

engine to cool down.

3. Clean grass clippings and debris from around the
engine and air inlets and the underside of the
deck including the chute and the fan.

4. Clean the engine air filter (Ask your local Approved
Service Centre to clean the engine air filter thoroughly).

5. Petrol may be stale, replace. Once petrol has
