7.4 To stop engine

CAUTION: The blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is shut off.

 Release the brake control handle to stop the engine and blade.  Disconnect and ground the spark plug wire as instructed in the separate engine manual to

prevent accidental starting while equipment is unattended.

7.5 Connection for auto move

Turn the Auto Move handle, the lawnmower will move forward automatically with a speed of 1m/s. (3.6km/h).

CAUTION: your mower is designed to cut normal residential grass of a height no more than 250 mm. Do not attempt to mow through unusually tall dry grass (e.g, pasture) or piles of dry leaves. Debris may build up on the mower deck or contact the engine exhaust presenting a potential fire hazard.

7.6 For the best results when mulching

Clear lawn of debris. Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other foreign objects which could be accidentally thrown out by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others as well as damage to property and surrounding objects. Do not cut wet grass. For effective mulching do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underside of the deck preventing proper mulching of the grass clippings. Cut no more than 1/3 the length of the grass. The recommended cut for mulching is 1/3 the length of the grass. Ground speed will need to be adjusted so the clippings can be dispersed evenly into the lawn. For especially heavy cutting in thick grass it may be necessary to use one of the slowest speeds in order to get a clean well mulched cut. When mulching long grass you may have to cut the lawn in two passes, lowering the blade another 1/3 of the length for the second cut and perhaps cutting in a different pattern than was used the first time. Overlapping the cut a little on each pass will also help to clean up any stray clippings left on the lawn. The mower should always be operated at full throttle to get the best cut and allow it to do the most effective job of mulching. Clean underside of deck. Be certain to clean the underside of the cutting deck after each use to avoid a build-up of grass, which would prevent proper mulching. Mulching leaves. The mulching of leaves can also be beneficial to your lawn. When mulching leaves make sure they are dry and are not laying too thick on the lawn. Do not wait for all the leaves to be off the trees before you mulch.

WARNING: if you strike a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove wire from spark plug, thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower. Extensive vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of damage. The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired.

10.2 Cutting blade

CAUTION: Be sure to disconnect and ground the spark plug wire before working on the cutting blade to prevent accidental engine starting. Protect hands by using heavy gloves or a rag to grasp the cutting blades.

Tip mower : When the mower is tipped over onto its side, please take care that the air cleaner

is on the top side. Remove the hex bolt and washer which hold the blade and blade adapter

to the engine crankshaft. Remove the blade and adapter from the crankshaft.

WARNING: Periodically inspect the blade adapter for cracks, especially if you strike a foreign object. Replace when necessary.

For best results your blade should be sharp. The blade may be resharpened by removing it and either grinding or filing the cutting edge keeping as close to the original bevel as possible. It is extremely important that each cutting edge receives an equal amount of grinding to prevent an unbalanced blade. Improper blade balance will result in excessive vibration causing eventual damage to the engine and mower. Be sure to carefully balance blade after sharpening. The blade can be tested for balance by balancing it on a round shaft screwdriver. Remove metal from the heavy side until it balances evenly.

Feather Key

Blade Adapter

Hex Bolt

Before reassembling the blade and the blade adapter to the unit, lubricate the engine crankshaft and the inner surface of the blade adapter with light oil. Install the blade adapter on the crankshaft with the "star" away from the engine. Refer to figure 11. Place the blade with the part number facing away from the adapter. Align the washer over the blade and insert the hex bolt. Tighten the hex bolt to the torque listed below:

10.3 Blade mounting torque

Centre Bolt 40Nm.min, 54Nm.max. To insure safe operation of your unit. ALL nuts and bolts must be checked periodically for correct tightness. After prolonged use, especially in sandy soil conditions, the blade will become worn and lose some of the original shape. Cutting efficiently will be reduced and the blade should be replaced. Replace with an approved factory replacement blade only. Possible damage resulting from blade unbalance condition is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.

10.4 Engine

Refer to the separate engine manual for engine maintenance instructions. Maintain engine oil as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your unit. Read and follow instructions carefully. Service air cleaner as per separate engine manual under normal conditions. Clean every few hours under extremely dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and flooding usually indicates that the air cleaner should be serviced. To service the air cleaner, refer to the separate engine manual packed with your unit. The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap reset once a season. Spark plug replacement is recommended at the start of each mowing season; check engine manual for correct plug type and gap specifications. Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep the cooling system (blower housing area) clean to permit proper air circulation which is essential to engine performance and life. Be certain to remove all grass, dirt and combustible debris from muffler area.

11 STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS (OFF SEASON)

The following steps should be taken to prepare lawn mower for storage.

1. Following the final cut of the season allow the fuel tank to run dry.

2. Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly as described in the lubrication instructions.

3. Refer to engine manual for correct engine storage instructions.

4. Lightly coat mower's cutting blade with chassis grease to prevent rusting.

5. Store mower in a dry, clean area. NOTE:

− When storing any type of power equipment in an unventilated or material storage shed, Care should be taken to rust-proof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially cables and all moving parts.

− Be careful not to bend or kink cables.
