THESTARTING

To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped without oil or petrol. The engine must be filled with the correct grade of oil and petrol before starting the engine.

Always use high quality detergent oil classified SAE 30 oil. Never use additives with recommended oil. To prolong the life of your engine it is important that the oil is changed after the first 5 hours of use - refer to ‘Maintenance Schedule’.

Clean around the oil filler cap before removing. With the mower on a level surface, unscrew and remove the oil filler - dipstick. Wipe oil from it with a clean cloth. Screw the oil filler - dipstick back in place, then unscrew and remove it to check the oil level.

The oil level is correct when it is at the full mark on the dipstick.

DO NOT OVERFILL.

Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days. Never mix oil with petrol. For added engine protection Briggs & Stratton recommend the use of their fuel additive which is available from an authorised Briggs & Stratton service dealer.

Fill to base of neck to allow for fuel expansion. Do not overfill the fuel tank.

Without Grass Collection

To prevent accidents, thoroughly inspect the area and remove all objects which when contacted by the mower cutterblade could become dangerous projectiles. Inspect the area for hidden obstructions which when contacted by the cutterblade could risk health and safety or result in damage to the mower. Remember the location of these obstructions and ensure that you mow around them.

Raise the rear deflector and lift the grassbag and lower the rear deflector to rest against the rear of the mower.

To empty the grassbag, pour out the grass clippings and shake the grassbag vigorously to clean the airways. Good grass collection depends on good air flow through the grassbag. When collecting grass clippings it is important that the grassbag is emptied regularly to prevent blockages and engine overloading.

Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear deflector in the closed position.

Before Mowing

56CTH11B

Grassbag

OPERATING THE MOWER

Page 19

1.19

Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the clippings. If collection is required, first mow the area without the grassbag at the maximum height of cut setting. Allow the grass clippings to dry out and then mow the area at the maximum height of cut setting with the grassbag fitted. Reduce the height of cut and mow the area again as necessary until the required finish is obtained.

To prevent damage to your lawn do not remove more than one third of grass height in one cut.

A device in the blade brake/clutch helps minimise prevent damage to the cutting mechanism when a hidden obstruction or overload is encountered. When the obstruction or overload is removed, the device will automatically reset.

Always stop the engine when a hidden obstruction or excessive vibration is encountered. Disconnect the spark plug lead and examine the cutting mechanism. ALWAYS replace a damaged cutterblade - refer to “Maintenance”.

When moving the mower across non-grassed areas, stop the cutterblade and set the mower to the maximum height of cut to protect the cutting mechanism.

There is very little work to do this month apart from brushing away leaves. Keep off the grass if frozen or waterlogged.

Rake the grass thoroughly. Spike the lawn to aerate and stimulate soil organisms and root growth and apply lawn sand if necessary.

The yearly lawn work programme really starts this month. As soon as the ground conditions are suitable, the first cut can be made. The first cut should merely “top” the grass as close cutting at this stage could result in severe yellowing or browning. Two cuts are generally sufficient this month.

Mow often enough to stop grass growing away. Dig out patches of coarse grass or resistant weed. Re-seed bare patches.

Keep mowing increasing the frequency as required. Treat with selective weed killers or combined weed/feed preparations if you did not feed the lawn in April.

Summer mowing should now be under way. It should be necessary to mow the lawn twice a week. Raking before mowing is important this month as the combined action keeps runners of clover under control. Water the grass if necessary, and remember to soak thoroughly.

Treat the grass with the second application of fertiliser or weed killer/fertiliser. Water when necessary and rake occasionally. As a general rule the grass clippings should be removed each time you mow. If weather conditions are dry and hot and the grass is weed free, leave the clippings on the lawn to help maintain ground moisture.

Keep mowing regularly and watering as necessary. Fill any cracks caused by drought with a mixture of sharp sand and soil. In dry weather conditions leave the grass longer to help retain ground moisture.

Raise the height of cut to allow the grass to thicken and protect the roots from the winter frost and snow.

Rake out the thatch from the turf and spike the lawn to assist in drainage. Brush in peat and sharp sand.

Use a stiff broom to disperse worm casts before mowing. Keep turf free from leaves.

Apart from brushing away leaves, December is a slack end of a busy year. Keep off the lawn if it is very wet or frozen.

The way to achieve a neat striped effect is for the lawn being cut in parallel stripes, alternate stripes being mown in opposite directions. A much more important routine is to cut at right angles to the line of the previous mowing. If the work has been carried in a north-south line, then the next cutting should be in an east-west direction. The crosscutting keeps down the coarse weed grasses.

To prevent grass damage do not remove more than one third of the grass height in one cut.

Remove grass debris from the top and underside of the deck housing immediately after use.

Fertilisers and top dressings are particularly corrosive. Thoroughly clean the mower deck immediately after use on treated grass and store well away from corrosive materials.

Regularly check that all securing nuts and bolts are tight. Replace missing or damaged items immediately.

The end user should re-adjust the cable tension after 30 hours, and at

any time the operator feels that the machine loses drive.

1. Stop the engine.

2. The operator pulls the machine backwards, at the same time,

progressively engages the clutch lever until the rollers of the machine

slip on the ground. The operator then holds the bail in that position to

measure the distance between the handlebar and the clutch lever.

3. If the distance between the clutch lever and the handlebar is less

60 mm the operator will regulate the cable tension with the black

plastic cable adjustment to meet this specification. Refer to Fig 1.

This verification and adjustment can be performed throughout the life

of the machine, when deemed necessary.

Unscrew the middle section of the black adjuster (until the clutch

lever is set correctly). Refer to Fig 2.

Failure to adjust correctly could result in premature failure of the

drive system.

Turn the mower on its left hand side and ensure that the air cleaner side of the engine is uppermost. Firmly grip the end of the cutterblade with the gloved hand and remove the two fixing screws and the cutterblade.

To prevent accidents never work on the cutterblade unless the spark plug lead has been removed. The cutterblade has sharp edges. ALWAYS wear strong gloves to protect your hands when working on the cutterblade. DO NOT rotate tools towards the cutting edges to avoid the risk of injury should the tool slip. ALWAYS use genuine Hayter replacement parts.

The condition of the cutterblade and its mounting arrangement should be checked regularly for signs of wear or damage. Ensure that the cutterblade is not bent or cracked.

A damaged cutterblade that is out of balance will vibrate excessively and may break. DO NOT use an unbalanced cutterblade.

Regularly check that the screws securing the cutterblade are tightened to the specified torque of 55Nm.

Replace the cutterblade every 2 years of sooner if excessively worn or damaged.

To prevent injury it is wise to seek assistance when turning the mower on its side.

Cutterblade Removal

Page 28

1.28

Assemble the cutterblade (2) with the turned up edges facing towards the engine. Secure the cutterblade using two new fixing screws and tighten to a torque of 55Nm.

To prevent accidents never reuse the fixing screws.

A slightly worn cutterblade may be re-sharpened. Both blade edges must be sharpened equally to ensure balance. Sharpen the cutterblade every 25 mowing hours or more frequently if conditions require. Remove the cutterblade from the mower and clean using a brush and water. Inspect the cutterblade for signs of damage. Sharpen both cutting edges with a flat file to restore performance.

Ensure that the cutterblade is balanced. Use a screw driver with a round shaft to support the cutterblade through its centre hole. Hold the cutterblade horizontal and then release. A balanced cutterblade will remain horizontal.

If the cutterblade is not balanced the heavy end will rotate downwards. Sharpen the heavy end until the cutterblade is correctly balanced.

Storage

To store the handlebar unscrew the 2 small securing knobs sufficiently to allow it to be pivoted forwards to rest against the mower. Take care to ensure that the control cables do not become snagged at the pivot point and depress the engine stop lever to prevent it being damaged through contact with the engine.

Engines stored in excess of 30 days need to be protected with Briggs & Stratton fuel additive or drained of fuel to prevent gum from forming in the fuel system or on essential carburettor parts. To ensure your mower is maintained in good working order it is important that the following procedure is adopted. Refer to the Maintenance section as necessary.

Drain fuel from the engine by operating the engine until it stops.

Disconnect the spark plug lead.

Change the engine oil.

Remove the engine spark plug and pour 15ml of engine oil into the engine cylinder and replace the spark plug. Do not exceed the stated volume of oil as engine damage may occur on re-starting. Do not replace the spark plug lead. Slowly pull the engine start - grip once to crank the engine. This will distribute the oil and help prevent engine corrosion.

Clean grass and debris from the engine cylinder, cylinder head cooling fins, under top cowl, and around and behind exhaust/exhaust guard.

Clean all other areas of the mower and ensure that the grassbag is clean.

Lubricate the mower.

Treat metal parts with a water repellent anti-corrosion product.

Cover the mower with a protective sheet and store it in a dry, ventilated area.
