BEFORE

Prevent Engine Damage

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.

Oil Type

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’.

MOWERTHESTARTING

Check Oil Level

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.

OPERATING THE MOWER

Controls

Operate all control levers several times and ensure that the cables
move freely. Check that the engine stop and ground drive clutch levers
return freely to their rest position when released.

Starting - Step 1

Operate the primer bulb: Note: Push on the primer bulb 5 times at
two second intervals to provide the extra fuel to start the engine after
assembling the mower for the first time.

In normal use push on the primer bulb 3 times at 2 second intervals to
provide the extra fuel required to start a cold engine. Operation of the
primer bulb is usually unnecessary when starting a warm engine

Step 2

1.14

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”.
Allow the engine to warm up.

The engine stop lever must be held firmly against the handlebar to
start and to keep the engine running. If the engine stop lever is
released the engine will stop. To prevent damage never pull the
engine start grip when the engine is running.

Forward Travel

STOP

STOP

Hold the handlebar and operate the ground drive clutch lever to power
the mower in a forward direction.

When the ground drive clutch lever is disengaged the mower may be
pushed. This feature is useful when mowing in confined areas.

If the engine stop lever is released the engine will stop.

Turning

To make a wide turn steer the mower with the handlebar in the direc­tion required.
To make a tight turn release the ground drive clutch lever, apply down­ward pressure on the handlebar to raise the front wheels just above
ground level and steer in the required direction.

To prevent accidents do not raise the front of the mower exces­sively when making a turn. Never raise the rear of the mower
when the engine is running.

MOWERTHEOPERATING

Release the ground drive clutch lever, reduce the throttle setting and
release the engine stop lever.

Emergency stop: Release both ground drive clutch lever and engine
stop lever together.

OPERATING THE MOWER

Height of Cut

Grip the lever and pull sideways to disengage it from the locking
notch, then push forwards to higher or pull backwards to lower the
height of cut. Finally release the lever at the required position and
ensure it locks firmly into one of the eight notch settings.

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

Before Mowing

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. Remember the location of these obstructions and
ensure that you mow around them.

1.16

Grassbag

Raise the rear deflector and lift the grassbag through the handlebar 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.

Mulching

Lift rear diflector and slide the Mulcher Plug into the rear discharger
chute. Ensure that the plug is fully inserted and rear deflector closed.

Note: You are not able to mulch with the side discharge chute fit­ted.

OPERATING

Mulching Tips

Mulching finely cuts the grass so that it can be easily recycled. Due to
nutrients that this returns to the soil, the lawn will require less fertiliz­er. To correctly mulch the lawn, follow the tips below.

- The grass must be dry. If the grass is wet, it will be difficult to cut
and cause heavey clumps of grass.

- Mulching should be carried out twice a week only taking as little
as possible from the length of grass.

- Cleaning the underside of the mower housing regularly ensures
effective operation.

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

Side Discharge - Step 1

Remove the side cover by removing the single screw in the top as
shown. Pinch the two release latches togehter to release the cover from
the opening and remove.

MOWERTHE

Step 2

To fit the side discharge chute, locate bottom tab into the opening then
pinch the two latches and release into place. Check that it is fully fitted
and then replace screw as shown.

Step 3

Lift rear deflector and slide the Mulcher Plug into the rear discharger
chute at rear of mower. Ensure that the plug is fully inserted and the rear
deflector closed.

Note: The Mulching Plug must be fitted for the side discharge chute
to work.

1.17

CS086

CS125

OPERATING THE MOWER

STOP

Without Grass Collection

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

Heavy Growth

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.

Friction Devise

The cutterblade is driven by the engine via a friction devise to help
prevent damage occurring to the cutting mechanism when a hidden
obstruction or overload is encountered.

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”.

Non-Grassed Areas

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.

1.18

LAWN

To be used as a guide only.

January

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

February

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

March

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.

April

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

CALENDARCARE

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.

June

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.

May

July

1.19

LAWN CARE CALENDAR

August

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.

September

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

October

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

November

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

December

1.20

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.

To prevent accidents stop the engine disconnect the spark plug
lead before attempting to carry out maintenance procedures on
the mower.

After the very first five hours change the engine oil

Follow the hourly or calendar intervals, whichever occurs first. More
frequent service will be required if working for prolonged periods
under dusty, dry conditions, or when airborne debris is present or after
extensive operation cutting tall, dry grass.

Daily

Check the oil level

Remove grass debris from around the engine, exhaust/exhaust guard and
air ways in the top cowl and underside of the deck housing.

Remove grass debris from the grassbag and check for signs of damage.

Deck Housing

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

To prevent accidents 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.

Securing Nuts & Bolts

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

Clutch Cable Adjustment

Move the plastic adjuster as necessary. Then move the drive clutch
lever to the engage position and check the drive.
If the drive system still slips, adjust the cable until correct.

Cable stretch will change the performance of the drive system, result­ing in the clutch slipping particularly when operating in thick grass or
on slopes.
To adjust the clutch cable; rotate the plastic adjuster to shorten/length­en the cable until satisfactory drive performance is obtained.

Check the clutch cable operation every 25 operating hours and adjust
if necessary.

MOWER MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

Lubricate the wheels, pivot points and linkages with engine oil every 25
operating hours.

Apply a good quality medium grease to the inner control cables at the
point of entry and exit from their outer casing.

Cutterblade Removal

Drain the fuel by running the engine until the fuel tank is empty and the
engine stops. Remove the spark plug lead and allow the engine to
cool. 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

bolt (1), tab washer (2) distance piece (3) and spacer (4) securing the
cutterblade with a 9/16” A/F spanner.

3

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.

1.26

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 bolt securing the cutterblade is tightened to the
specified torque of 46Nm.

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 Assembly

Assemble the cutterblade with the turned up edges facing towards the
engine. Secure the cutterblade using bolt (1), tab washer (2), distance
piece (3) and spacer (4) tighten to a torque of 40Nm

Cutterblade Sharpening

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.

MOWER MAINTENANCE

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 spark plug.

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.
