GENERAL
Your new lawn mower combines two different
functions in the same machine:
1. "MULTICLIP"
When delivered, the machine is equipped with a
plug (P) mounted in the grass evacuation opening
(fig. 29). The machine can be used for"Multiclip",
i.e. whencutting the grassis finely chopped by the
blade.The grass is then spreadinto the lawn where
it decomposes. In this way, nutrients are put back
into the lawn.
To remove the plug, press in the catch (S). When
remounting the plug, make sure that both the pins
are pressed down into the holes, so that the plug
snaps into place.
ENGLISH
GB
2. COLLECTION
Assemble the enclosed grass collector (fig. 5).
Open the cover, remove the plug and this time
hook the collector in placeonto the back of the machine.
During cutting, the grass is collected in the collector.Emptythe grass on the compost heap or spread
it out on the flower bead as fertilizer. The machine
is also excellent for collecting leaves in the autumn.
BEFORE STARTING
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL
Thelawn mower is deliveredwithoutany
oil in the motor crankcase. The crankcase must, therefore, be filled with oil before the motor is started the first time.
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 6, 7). Fill the engine's
crankcase with 0.6 litres of good quality oil (service class SE, SF or SG) Use SAE 30 or SAE 10W30 oil.
Slowly fill up to the “FULL/MAX” mark. Do not
fill with too much oil.
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
Check before usingthe machine that the oil level is
between “FULL/MAX” and “ADD/MIN” on the
dipstick.
Remove and dry the dipstick (fig. 6, 7). Slide it
down completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull
itup again. Read-off. If the oil level is low, fillwith
oil up to the “FULL/MAX” mark.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Place the lawn mower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in high grass.
2. Make sure the spark plug lead is connected to
the spark plug.
3. Move the throttle control (*) to the full throttle
position .
4. When starting a cold engine: Press down the
primer fully three times (fig. 8, 9).
When starting a warm engine the primer does
not need to be used. If the engine stops due to a
lack of petrol, refill and press down the primer
three times.
5. Press in the Start/Stop-loop G against the steering. Note that the Start/Stop loop G must be
kept pressed-in to preventthe engine from stopping (fig. 10).
6a Manual starting:
Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by
pulling briskly on the starter handle.
6bElectric starting facility (*):
Start the engine by turning the starter key clockwise. Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.Always make short attemptsatstarting to
prevent discharging the battery.
To facilitate starting of the engine - press down
the handlebar so that the front wheelslift slightly from the ground. Do not start in tall grass.
7. To achieve the best cutting results, you should
always run the engine at full-speed.
FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Fill with petrol before starting the motor. Never remove the filler cap or fill or
top up with petrol while the motor is
running or still warm.
Never fill the fuel tank completely full
but allow a little room for the petrol to
expand.
Always use pure unleaded petrol. You must never
use 2-stroke petrol mixed with oil.
Note that you should always remember that petrol
is a perishable commodity.Never buy more petrol
than what you can use up in 30 days.
Keep hands and feet well away from the
rotating blade(s). Never put your hand
or foot under the blade casing or in the
grass evacuation unit while the motor is
running.
STOP OF ENGINE
The motor may be very warm immediatelyafterit isshut off.Do not touchthe
silencer,cylinder or cooling flanges as it
can cause burns and injury.
1. Release Start/Stop-loop G (fig. 10) to stop the
engine. This loop must not be disengaged (e.g.
through fixing it in the depressed position
against the steering), as the engine cannot be
stopped.
GB
ENGLISH
2. If the lawn mower is left unattended to, remove
the lead from the spark plug. Also remove the
starter key (*).
If the start/stop loop no longer works,
stop the engine by removing the lead
from the spark plug. Immediately take
the lawn mower to an authorised workshop for repairs.
REAR WHEEL DRIVE (*)
Engage the drive by pressing coupling clamp I
against the steering handle. Disengage the driveby
releasing coupling clamp I (fig. 10).
CUTTING HEIGHT
Shut off the motor before adjusting the
cutting height.
Do not set the cutting height so low that
the blade/blades can hit uneven ground.
The mower is fitted with a single lever control for
adjusting the cutting height. Pull the lever outwards and adjust the cutting height to the position
which is most suitable for your lawn (fig. 11).
NOTE! When the machine is used for "Multiclip",thetwolowest cutting heights must notbe
used.The "Multiclip"function does notwork if
the grass is cut too short.
MAINTENANCE
Neitherthemotornorthelawnmower
may be serviced before the ignition cable is removed from the spark plug.
Stop the motor and remove the spark
plug cable if the mower is to be lifted,
e.g. with transportation.
If the lawn mower needs to be tilted it
should be tilted so that the spark plug
faceupwards.Tiltthe lawn mowerwhen
the fuel tank is empty.
CLEANING
After each time it is used the mower should be
cleaned. This is particularly important on the underside of the mower casing. Wash out with the
garden hose. The mower will then last longer and
function better. Note! High pressure washing units
should not be used.
If grass has dried on to the cutterhead casing it can
be removed by scraping. If necessary, give the underside a touch of paint to prevent rusting.
Clean the silencer and the surrounding
area regularly to remove grass,dirt and
flammable waste products.
You should clean the insideof the drive wheels (*)
once every season. Remove both wheels. Brush or
blow-clean the gear and the wheels'gear ring from
grass and dirt. Refit the wheels (fig. 12).
PROTECTIVE GRILLE
Clean the protective grille F to remove any grass
and dirt after each time the machine is used to prevent the engine from becoming damaged as a result of overheating (fig. 13, 14).
COOLING SYSTEM
The engine is air-cooled. Grass and dirt can easily
clog the cooling system and damage the engine.
The cooling systemshouldbe cleanedat least once
a season or after every 100 hours of operation.
Clean more often if you mow in dry grass.
Briggs & Stratton model. LS45:
Remove the three screws A (fig. 13) and lift away
the fan housing. Clean the area inside the line (fig.
15).
On LS45 engines, the screws A can be more easily
reached if the engine cover is removed first.
Briggs & Stratton model. ES40:
Remove the protective grille and clean the marked
area (fig. 16).
LUBRICATING THE DRIVESHAFT (*)
You should grease the key on the driveshaft once
every season. Remove the wheel (hub cap, screw
and washer). Then remove the E-circlip and washer to enable the gear to be removed from the shaft.
Grease the key with universal grease.
Refit the key (different key fitments on right- and
left-hand sides, see fig. 17, 18). Install the gear so
that the L mark will be facing outwards on the lefthand side, and the R mark facing outwards on the
right-hand side (mower viewed from behind).
ENGLISH
GB
CHANGING OIL
Replacethe oil when the engineis warm
and the fuel tank is empty. Take care
while draining as the oil is hot, this is to
prevent burns.
Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of operation, and subsequently after every 50 hours of operation or once a season. Remove the dip stick, tilt
the mower and let the oil run out into a container.Be careful not to let any oil run on to the grass.
Fill with new oil: use oil of SAE 30 or SAE 10W30 quality. The crankcase holds approx. 0.6 litre.
Fill until the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX” mark
on the dip stick.
AIR FILTER
A dirty and blocked air filter reduces the engine
output and increases engine wear.
Clean the filter every three months or after every
25 hours of use, which ever occurs first. More often if the lawn mower is used on dusty ground.
BATTERY (*)
Electrolyte in the battery is toxic and
corrosive.It can cause serious corrosion
damage etc. Avoidall contact with skin,
eyes and clothing.
In normal use during the season, the battery is
charged by the engine. If the engine cannot be
started with the starter key, it may be because the
battery is “dead”.
Removethe battery by releasing the battery assembly from the mower using a screwdriver (fig. 22).
Connecttheenclosedbattery chargerto the battery,
and then connect the charger to a wall socket and
charge for 24 hours (fig. 23).
After charging, connect thebattery'scontactorto the
engine'scontactorandreinstallthebatteryassembly
(fig. 24).
Note! The battery charger must not be connected to
theengineterminal.Theenginecannotbestartedby
using the charger as a source of power supply, and
the charger will be damaged.
Briggs & Stratton model. LS45:
Carefully remove the air cleaner so thatno dirt falls
down into the carburettor (fig. 19). Take out the
foam plastic filter element and wash it in liquid detergent andwater.Dry the filter element.Pour a little
oil on the filter element and squeeze it in. Refit the
air cleaner.
Briggs & Stratton model. ES40:
Loosen the screw and fold down the cover of the
air cleaner. Carefully remove the filter cartridge
(fig. 20). Knock it against a flat surface. Replace
the filter cartridge with a new one if it is still dirty.
SPARKING PLUG
Never remove the spark plug or the ignition lead when checking tosee if there is
any spark, always use an approved test
instrument.
Cleanthe sparkingplugregularly (every 100 hours
running). Use a wire brush for cleaning and adjust
the correct spark gap 0,75 mm (fig. 21).
Change the sparkingplug if the electrodesare excessively burnt or if the plug is damaged. The recommendationsof the engine manufactur e rsare as follows:
Champion J19LM (RJ19LM) or another equivalent spark plug ought to be used in Briggs & Stratton engines.
WINTER STORAGE
Remove the battery and store for the winter wellcharged (see above) in a dry and cool place (between 0° C and +15° C). At least once during the
winter storage period the battery should be maintenance-charged.
Before the start of the season the battery should be
charged once again for 24 hours.
ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH CABLE (*)
Engage the drive by pressing coupling clamp I
against the steering handle. Should the machine
not start mowing after having operated the clutch
bracket, the cable needs adjusting. For cable adjustment, see fig. 25.
CHANGING BLADES
Use protective gloves to prevent cuts
when changing blades/knifeblades.
Check the blade system regularly. Pay
special attention to the curved area behind the blade edge for signs of wear
and tear (fig. 26). If the blade shows
signsofdamage,it should be replaced.A
worndownblade createsimbalanceand
can damage the mower.
GB
Always check the blade(s) after an impact. First
disconnectthe ignition cable. If the blade system
has been damaged the defective parts must be
changed. Always use genuine spare parts.
To change blades, loosen the blade bolt. Mount the
new blade so that it sits in the same way as the old
one and tighten the blade bolt (fig. 27). Tightening
torque: 45 Nm.
When replacing the blade, the blade bolt should
also be replaced.
The guaranteedoes not cover damage to the blade,
blade holder or engine caused by running into obstacles.
When replacing the blade, the blade holder and
blade bolt, always use original spare parts. Nonauthentic spare parts could lead to the risk of personal injury or damage, even if they fit the machine.
ENGLISH
SHARPENING OF THE BLADES
Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet
method grinding, using a whetstone or a grindstone.
For the sake of safety, the blades should not be
sharpened on an emery wheel. A very high temperature could cause the blade to become brittle.
Once the blade has been sharpened, it
must then be balanced so as to avoid vibration damage (fig. 28).
STORAGE
WINTER STORAGE
Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it run
until it stops. The same petrol must not remain in
the tank for more than one month.
Tipup the mower and screw out the sparking plug.
Pour a teaspoon of engine oil in the sparking plug
hole. Pull out the starting handle slowly so that the
oil is distributed in the cylinder. Screw in the
sparking plug.
