VARIATOR CONTROL

When the mo wer is delivered,the variator cable is
set so that the transmission cannot be dama ged.
The cable may need tightening,see under heading
“ADJUSTING VARIATOR CABLE“ in the
section “MAINTENANCE“.

GRASS COLLECTOR

Fit the fabric bag over the steel frame and then
snap the bag onto the plastic lid (fig. 11).

Open the flap on the machine and attach the grass
collector to the brackets (fig. 12).

NOTE! The lawnmower can be operated without
the grass collector. The grass is then left in a line
behind the machine.

BATTERY (*)

The electrolyte in the battery is toxic
and corrosive. It can cause serious
corrosion damage etc. Avoid all contact
with skin, eyes and clothing.

Before starting for the first time, the batteryshould
be charged for 24 hours, seefurther information
under the heading MAINTENANCE, BATTERY.

Insert ignition key (*) into the ignition lock.

USING THE MOWER

When mowing, the grass is collected in the
collector. Empty the grass onto the compost heap
or spread it over borders as fertiliser.The machine
is also ideal for collecting up leaves in the autumn.

CHECK THE OIL LEVEL

Check before using the machine that the oil level is
between ‘FULL/MAX’ and ‘ADD/MIN’ on the
dipstick.

Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 13, 14).
Slide it down completely and tighten it. Unscrew
andpull itup again. Read off the oil level.Ifthe oil
level is low, fill with oil up to the ‘FULL/MAX’
mark.

FILL UP THE PETROL TANK

Never remove the filler cap or fill with
petrolwhilethe engine is runningor still
warm.

Never completely fill the petrol tank.
Allow a little room for the petrol to
expand if necessary.

Preferablyuse environmentally friendly petrol, i.e.
alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a
composition that is less harmful to people and
nature. It has e.g. no lead additives, no oxygenators
(alcohols and ethers), no alkenes and no benzene.

NOTE! If you change to
environmentally friendly petrol in an
engine previously run on ordinary lead­free petrol (95 ), the petrol
manufacturer’s recommendations must
be followed carefully.

Ordinary lead-free 95 octane petrol can also be
used. You must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed
with oil. NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead­free petrol is a perishable; do not purchase more
petrolthancanbeusedwithinthirtydays.

BEFORE STARTING

FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL

The lawnmower is delivered without
any oil in the engine crankcase. The
crankcase must be filled with oil before
the engine is started for the first time.

Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 13, 14). Fill the
engine’s crankcase with 0.55 litres of good quality
oil (service class SE, SF or SG). Use SAE 30 or
SAE 10W-30 oil.

Slowly fill to ‘FULL/MAX’. Do not overfill.

STARTING THE MOTOR

ENGLISH

GB

Do not s et the cutti ng height so low that the
blade comes into contact with une ven ground.

The mower has single-lever control for adjusting
the cutting height. Pull the lever out, and set the
cuttingheight to one of the positionsbest suitedto
your lawn (fig. 19).

MAINTENANCE

No servicing may be carried out on the
engine or lawnmower without first
removing the spark plug cable from the
spark plug.

Stop the engine and remove the spark
plug cable if the mower is to be lifted,
e.g. during transportation.

If the lawnmower needs to be tilted, it
must be tilted so that the engine’s spark
plug faces upwards.Tiltthe lawnmower
when the fuel tank is empty.

CLEANING

After use, the mower should be cleaned. This is
particularly important on the underside of the
mower casing. Rinse clean with the garden hose.
The mower will then last longer and work better .
High-pressure washers should not be used.

If grass has dried on to the mower casing,it can be
scraped clean.Ifnecessary, touch up the underside
with paint to prevent rust damage.

Clean the si lencer and the surrounding
area regularly to remove grass, dirt and
flammable waste products.

Remove the transmission casing by removing the
screws S (fig. 20) and clean around the
transmission and drive belts with a brush or
compressed air once or twice a year.

OIL CH ANGE

Change the oil when the engine is warm
and the fuel tank is empty. In order to
prevent burns, take care while dr aining
as the oil is hot.

Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of
operation, and subsequently every 50 hours of
operation or once a season. Remove the dipstick,
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 SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30oil.
The crankcase holds approx. 0.55 litres. Fill until
the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX” mark on the
dipstick.

AIR FILT ER

A dirty and blocked air filter reduces the engine
output and increases engine wear.

Briggs & Stratton (fig. 21):

Undo the screw and fold down the cover of the air
cleaner. Carefully remove the filter cartridge.
Knock it against a flat surface. Replace the filter
cartridge with a new one if it is still dirty.

Clean the filter every three months or after every
25 hours of use, whichever occurs first. More
frequently if the engine is working on dusty
ground.

Honda (fig. 22): Remove the cover and take out the
filter. Carefully check the filter for holes or other
damage. A broken or damaged filter must be
replaced.

To remove dirt, carefully knock the filter several
times against a hard surface or use compressed air
from the back of the filter to blow-clean. Do not try
to brush the filter clean as this forces dirt down into
the fibres. A very dirty filter should be replaced.

The drive chain should be lubricated once per
season. Remove the right-hand cover from the
roller and apply a little chain spray onto the chain.

COOLING SYSTEM

Before each use, the engine’s cooling system must
be cleaned. Clean the cylinder’s cooling flanges
and air intake of grass remains, dirt, etc.

Clean the air filter after every 25 hours of
operation or once a season. More frequently if the
engine is working on dusty ground.

SPARK PLUG

Neverremovethesparkplugorspark
plug cable when checking to s e e if there
is a spark. Use an approved test
instrument.

Clean the spark plug regularly (every 100 hours of
run time). Use a wire brush for cleaning.

9

GB

ENGLISH

Change the spark plug if the electrodes are
excessively burnt or if the plug is damaged. The
engine manufacturers’ recommendations are as
follows:

Briggs & Stratton:Champion J19LM(RJ19LM),
Spark gap 0.76 mm.

Honda: NGK BPR6ES,
Spark gap 0.7-0.8 mm.

BATTERY (*)

The electrolyte in the battery is toxic
and corrosive. It can cause serious
corrosion damage etc. Avoid all 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 ignition key,it may be because the
battery is ‘dead’.

Dismantle the battery by opening the battery
cover, disconnecting the terminal on the engine
and removing the battery (fig. 23). Connect the
battery charger (provided) to the battery, then
connectthechargerto a wall socket and chargefor
24 hours (fig. 24).

After charging, the battery may be reinstalled and
the terminal on the battery connected to the
terminal on the engine (fig. 25).

1. When the clutch loop is released, it should be
possible to push the mower without any
resistance. If this is not the case, screw in the
nipple T until the mower can be pushed (fig.

26).

2. When the clutch loop is
pressedinapprox.2cm
(position 1), there should be
some resistance when
pushing the lawnmower.
With the clutch loop fully
pressedin(position2)it
should not be possible to push
the mower. Unscrew the
nipple T until this positi on is

achieved.

ADJUSTING VARIATOR CABLE

If the speed difference between the settings in the
variator control giving the fastest speed (position 3

and ) appears insignificant or nothing at all, the
variator cable might need tightening (fig. 18).

1. Run the mower for a few minutes in position

.

2. If the variator cable shows some play in nipple
Y it needs tightening. Undo the locking nut X
and tighten the cable by unscrewing the nipple
Y until the cable ceases to show any play.

The battery chargermay not be connected directly
to the engine terminal. It is not possible to start the
engine with the charger as the power source and
the charger could be damaged.

WINTER STORAGE

Remove the battery and store it fully charged (see
above) in a dry, cool place (between 0°C and
+15°C). The battery should be maintenance­charged at least once during the winter storage
period.

Before the start of the season, the battery should be
charged once again for 24 hours.

ADJUSTING CLUTCH CABLE

If the drive does not engage when the clutch loop
is pressed against the handle, or if the lawnmower
feels cumbersome or slow,this may be because the
clutch in the transmission is slipping. To rectify
this situation, adjust the clutch cable as follows:

3. Tighten the locking nut X.

NOTE! Do not stretch the cable beyond the point
where there is no play in the nipple Y. If the cable is
over-tightened, the drive belt could break and/or
other parts of the transmission be damaged. When
setting after e.g. belt change, always start with the
nippleY completely screwed in.

CHANGING BLADES

Use protective gloves when changing
blade to avoid cu tting yourself.

Check the blade system regularly.Check
particularlythe curved area behind the
blade edge for traces of wear. If the blade
shows traces of damage it should be
replaced.Awornbladecreatesimbalance
and can damage the mower.

Always check the blade after an impact. First
disconnect the spark plug cable. If the blade
system has been damaged, defective parts should
be replaced. Always use genuine spare parts.

ENGLISH

To replace the blade, undo the screw (fig. 27). Fit
the new blade so thatthe stamped logo is turned up
facing the blade holder (not facing the grass).
Reinstallasillustrated.Tightenthescrew properly.
Tightening torque 40 Nm.

When replacing the blade, the blade screw should
also be replaced.

The guarantee does not cover damage to the blade,
blade holder or engine caused by running into
obstacles.

When replacing the blade, blade holder and blade
screw, always use genuine spare parts. Non­genuine spare parts can entail a risk of injury or
damage, even if they fit the machine.

SHARPENING THE BLADES

Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet
method grinding, using a whetstone or a
grindstone.

GB

For safety reasons, the blades should not be
sharpenedonanemerywheel.Averyhigh
temperatur e could cause the blades to become
brittle.

Once the blade has been sharpened, it
must then be balanced to avoid
vibration damage.

STORAGE

WINTER STORAGE

Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it run
until it stops. The same petrol m ust not remain in
the tank for more than one month.

Tip up the mower and unscrew the spark plug.
Pour a tablespoon of engine oil into the spark plug
hole. Pull out the starter handle slowly so that the
oil is distributed in the cylinder.Screw in the spark
plug.
