ASSEMBLING THE MOWER

1.12

Remove the mower from the packaging and check that the following items have been supplied correctly. If any items are missing contact, your local Hayter dealer.

1. Engine Handbook.

Unscrew the handlebar securing knobs sufficiently to allow the handlebar to pivot. Move the engine stop lever away from the engine to avoid damage and unfold the handlebar to the operating position. Make sure the knobs are assembled to the outside of the handlebar and tighten to secure in position.

Take care to ensure that the control cables do not become snagged at the pivot point.

Operate the engine stop lever towards the handlebar and very slowly pull the engine start grip (1) away from the engine until there is sufficient slack in the rope to enable it to be threaded into the rope guide (2). Release the start-grip until it rests against the rope guide as shown. Finally tighten the nut (3) to secure the rope guide.

BEFORE STARTING THE

MOWER

1.13

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 “For service SE, SF, SG” SAE 30 oil. Never use additives with recommended oils. SAE 10W-30 multigrade oil may be used, but this will result in higher engine operating temperatures with consequential high oil consumption. It is imperative that the oil level is checked more frequently if this grade of oil is used in order to guard against serious engine damage. 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.

Operate all control levers several times and ensure that the cables move freely. Check that the engine stop lever returns freely to it’s rest position when released. Whilst operating the engine throttle mechanism slight resistance should be felt when moving the lever to the ‘choke’ position.

Move the throttle control lever to the ‘choke’ position before starting a cold engine. Move the throttle control lever to the ‘fast’ position before starting a warm engine.

Stand behind the mower and hold the handlebar together with the engine stop lever with your left hand. With your right hand hold the engine start - grip and pull slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly to crank the engine. Carefully return the start grip to the storage position when the engine starts. If the engine does not start after 5 attempts - refer to “Trouble Shooting”.

The engine stop lever must be held firmly against the handlebar to start and keep the engine running. If the engine stop lever is released the engine will stop.

Allow the engine to warm up and move the throttle lever to the

‘fast’ position after starting a cold engine. To prevent damage never pull the engine start grip when the

engine is running.

OPERATING THE MOWER

Move the height of cut lever sideways to disengage it from the locking notch, then push forwards to lower or pull backwards to raise the height of cut. Release the lever in the required position and ensure that it locks firmly into one of the seven notch settings.

Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions. Prevent engine overloading and blockages by avoiding low cuts in long grass conditions. Be prepared to make two cuts when the grass is long.

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 forhidden obstructions which when contacted by the cutterblade could risk health and safety. Remember the location of these obstructions and ensure that you mow around them.

OPERATING

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

Hayter balanced ‘C’ type cranked cutterblades are fitted to this machine. They are designed to swing on the shoulder of the Cutterblade bolt when encountering a fixed object. Keep cutterblades sharp and ensure they are secured correctly.

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

LAWN CARE CALENDAR

1.18

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.

CALENDARLAWN CARE

1.19

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.

T o pr event grass damage do not remove mor e than one third of the grass height in one cut.
