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.
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).
If the engine hasstopped due tothegrass 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 s harp turns to prevent the ma­chine from tipping over or you losing control of the machine.
Ifthe machine istostandon 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 theoildrainplugJ(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 oillevel 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 t he oil level e ach 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 acou­ple 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: Replaceannually or after 100hours of operation. More often if the machine works under extremely dusty conditions.
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 needto be cleaned. Contact an authorised service station.
SPARK PLUG
Check and clean the spark plug every 100 hoursof 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
1. Remove the air filter’s protective cover and
foam filter (fig. 11).
2.Washthe pre-filter M inliquid detergentand 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.
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 beltslips(it can stretch slightly when it becomes worn), there is an adjustment on the gear­shift/brake linkage.
Adjustment: Move the locking pin O to the rear hole (fig. 13).
The brakes are adjusted with nut P on the brake arm (fig. 13).
Afteradjusting,makesure that the clutch is always activated before the brake.

BLADE
Ensure that the blade is always sharp. This produc­es the best cutting results.
SHARPENING
For safety reasons, the blade should not be sharp­ened on an emery wheel. Incorrect sharpening (= too high temperature) could cause the blade to be­come brittle.
Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet method grinding, using a whetstone or a grind­stone.
Once the blade has been sharpened, it must then be balanced to avoid vibra­tion damage.
REPLACING THE BLADE
When replacing the blade, blade holder and blade screw – always use genuine spare parts.
Always use original spare parts. Non­genuine spare parts can entail a risk of injury, even if they fit the machine.
When replacing the blade, the centre bolt should also be replaced. This is equipped with a lock. Blade screw tightening torque: 65 Nm.
