Thank you for purchasing a Mounteld lawnmower. This machine will give you many years of safe and
reliable service if operated in accordance with these instructions. Please read and understand these

operating instructions before using your mower. Failure to do so could result in personal injury
or damage to the equipment.

NEVER TIP THE MOWER ON ITS SIDE AS THIS WILL FLOOD THE AIR FILTER WITH OIL.

To access the underside, lift the front wheels by lowering the handle until it rests on the ground.
