Always use lead-free petrol. You must
never use 2-stroke petrol mixed with oil.
NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-free petrol
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than
can be used within thirty days.
Environmentally friendly petrol can be used, i.e.
alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a composition that is less harmful for people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always
storepetrolin containersthat are made
especially for this purpose.
Onlyfill or top upwith petrol outdoors,
and never smoke when filling or topping up. Fill withpetrolbefore starting
the engine. Never remove the filler cap
or fill with petrol while the engine is
running or still warm.
CHECK THE ENG INE’S OIL LEVEL
On delivery, the engine’s crankcase is filled with
SAE 30 oil.
Check theoil level every time before using.The
machine should be standing on level ground.
Removedipstick B and wipe itoff.Slideit
down completely and tighten it.
Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read off the

CUTTING TIPS
Before mowing the lawn, take care to remove any
loose stones, toys and other hard objects.
Locate any fixed objects before mowing a lawn
you are unfamiliar with. Loose and/or fixed objects can seriously damage the cutting deck.
Do not cut wet grass (during or immediately after
rain).
Keep hands and feet away from the rotating blade. Never put your hand or
foot under the blade casing or in the
grass ejector while the engine is running.
If the engine hasstopped due to thegrass being too
thick: disengage the cutting deck and move the
machine to a cut area before engaging it again.
For optimum ‘Multiclip effect’, follow these tips:
- cut frequently.
- run the engine at full revs.
- keep the underside of the cutting deck clean.
- use sharp blades.
- do not cut wet grass.
- cut twice (with different cutting heights) if
the grass is long.
OPERATION
Makesurethat there is the correctquantityof oil in
the engine when mowing on slopes (oil level on
“FULL“).
Be careful when driving on slopes. No
sudden starting or stopping when movingupordown a slope.Nevercut across
a slope. Move from the top down, and
from the bottom to the top.
The machine, equipped with original
accessories, may notbedriven onslopes
greater than 10º in any direction.
Reduce the speed on slopes and when
making sharp turns to prevent the machine from tipping over or you losing
control of the machine.
MAINTENANCE
No servicing may be carried out on the
engine or cutting deck unless:
-theenginehasstopped.
-the starterkey has been removed.
-the spark plug cablehasbeen removed
from the spark plug.
-the parking brake has been applied.
-the cutting deck is disengaged.
MAINTENANCE TIPS
The machine is designed to stand on its end during
maintenance work (fig. 7).
Ifthe machine is tostandon its end,the
petrol and engine oil must have been
drained out first.
CLEANING
Rinse clean the underside of the cutting deck with
the garden hose.
NOTE! Do not aim the jet directly at the transmission or the air filter.
OIL CHANGE, ENGINE
Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of operation, and subsequently every 50 hours of operation or once a season. Change oil when the engine
is warm.
Always use a good grade of oil (service grade SF,
SG or SH).
The engine oil may bevery warmif itis
drained off directly after the engine is
shut off. Therefore, allow the engine to
cool a few minutes before draining the
oil.
1. Tilt the machine to the left (machine viewed
fromthe rear). Unscrew the oildrainplugJ(fig. 8).
Let the oil run out into a collection vessel. Do not
allow oil to get on the V-belts. Screw in the oil
plug.
2. Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil.
Oil capacity: 1.4 litres
Oil type, summer: SAE-30
(SAE 10W-30 can also be used. However, oil consumption may increase somewhat if 10W-30 is
used. Therefore, check the oil level more regularly
if you use this type of oil).
Page 10
ENGLISH
GB
Oil type, winter: SAE 5W-30
(if this oil is not available, use SAE 10W-30).
Use oil without any additives.
Do not fill with too much oil. This can cause the
engine to overheat.
Check the oil level each time after filling. The level should be at “FULL“.
LUBRICATION
The front axle has four lubrication points K
(fig.9).Fillwith grease (useagrease gun) once per
season.
Lubricate the steering pinions L with grease a couple of times per season (fig. 10).
Also lubricate the machine’s other moving parts a
couple of times per season.
AIR FILTER
Important! Never run the engine without the air
cleaner being installed.
Foam filter (pre-filter): Clean every 3 months or
after every 25 hours of operation, whichever
comes first.
Paper filter: Replace annually or after 100hours of
operation. More often if the machine works under
extremely dusty conditions.
1. Remove the air filter’s protective cover and
foam filter (fig. 11).
2.Wash the pre-filterMinliquid detergent and wa-
ter. Squeeze dry. Pour a little oil on the filter and
squeeze in the oil.
3. Liftout the paper filterN and clean the air filter
housing carefully to prevent dirt getting into the
carburettor.
4. Clean the paper filter insert as follows:Knock it
lightly against a flat surface. If the filter is very
dirty, change it.
5. Assemble in the reverse order.
Petroleum-based solvents may not be used when
cleaning the paper filter. These solvents can destroy the filter.
Do not use compressed air for cleaning the paper
filter insert. The paper filter insert must not be
oiled.
KEEP THE ENGINE CLEAN
The engine is air-cooled. A blocked cooling system can damage the engine.
Clean the cylinder’s cooling fins and air intake of
grass and dirt every 5 hours ordaily (fig.12). This
is particularly important when mowing dry grass.
Also clean around the silencer to avoid fire.
Use compressed airor a brushfor cleaning. Donot
point jets of water directly at the engine.
When cutting dry grass for an extended period of
time, the engine’sinteriorcooling fins may need to
be cleaned. Contact an authorised service station.
SPARK PLUG
Check and clean the spark plug every 100 hours of
operation.
Clean the spark plug with a wire brush (not sand
blasting) and reset the spark gap to 0.75 mm.
Replace the spark plug if the electrodes are excessively burnt. For replacing a spark plug, a spark
plug sleeve and a torsion pin are provided in the
accessories bag.
The engine manufacturer recommends:
Champion J19LM or similar.
CARBURETTOR
The carburettor is correctly set at the factory and
no adjustment is normally required.
If the carburettor does need adjustment, contact a
service station.
ADJUSTING CLUTCH/BRAKE
If the drive belt slips(it can stretchslightlywhenit
becomes worn), there is an adjustment on the gearshift/brake linkage.
Adjustment: Move the locking pin O to the rear
hole (fig. 13).
