should charge the battery for 24 hours. Refer also
to the section titled “MAINTENANCE, BAT­TERY”.

Insert the starter key (*) into the ignition lock.

USING THE MOWER

BEFORE STARTING

FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL

The lawn mower is delivered without
any oil in the motor crankcase. The
crankcasemust,therefore,befilled with
oil before the motor is started the first
time.

Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 8, 9, 10). Fill the en­gine's crankcase with 0.6 litres of good quality oil
(service class SE, SF or SG) Use SAE 30 or SAE
10W-30 oil.

Slowly fill up to the “FULL/MAX” mark. Do not
fill with too much oil.

CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

Check before using the machinethat the oil level is
between “FULL/MAX” and “ADD/MIN” on the
dipstick.

Fabric collector bin (*): Pull the fabric collector
bag over the steel frame and snap the bag on the
plastic cover (fig. 6).

Plastic collector bin (*): Snap the two halves to­gether and then the upper part (fig. 7).

Open the hatch on the mower and hitch the grass
collector bin onto the retainers.

Note that the mower can be operated without a
grass collector bin. The grass cuttings are then left
in a string behind the mower.

Remove and dry the dipstick (fig. 8, 9, 10). Slide it
down completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull
itup again.Read-off.Ifthe oil levelis low,fillwith
oil up to the “FULL/MAX” mark.

FILL UP THE PETROL TANK

Fill with petrol before starting the mo­tor. Never remove the filler cap or fill or
topupwithpetrolwhilethemotoris
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.

GB

ENGLISH

Note that you should always remember that petrol
is a perishable commodity. Never buy more petrol
than you can use up 30 days.

STARTING THE ENGINE
(Briggs & Stratton)

1. Place the lawn mower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in high grass.

2. Make sure that the spark plug lead is connected
to the spark plug.

3. If the lawn mower is equipped with throttlecon­trol, set the throttle control B to the full throttle

position (fig. 15).

4. Whenstarting a cold engine,press in the primer
fully three times (figs. 11, 12, 13).
When starting a warm engine, the primer does
not need tobepressed in.If the enginestops due
to a lack of petrol, refill with petrol and press in
the primer three times.

5. Press in the Start/Stop clamp G towards the
handle. Note! The Start/Stop clamp G must be
kept pressed in to prevent the engine from stop­ping (fig. 15).

6a.Manual starting. Grasp the starter handle and

start the engine by pulling briskly on the starter
cord.

3. Open the petrol tap (figs. 14).

4. Set the throttle control B to the choke position

. Note! A warm engine does not need to be

choked (fig. 15).

5. Press in the Start/Stop clamp G towards the
handle. Note! The Start/Stop clamp G must be
kept pressed in to prevent the engine from stop­ping (fig. 15).

6. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by
pulling briskly on the starter cord.

7. When the engine has started, move the throttle
control backwards until the maximum engine
speed is obtained. Note! The engine should al­ways be runat maximum engine speed to avoid
abnormal vibrations on the machine.

Keep handsand feet well away fromthe
rotating blade(s). Never put your hand
or foot under the blade casing or in the
grass evacuation unit while the motor is
running.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

The motor may be very warm immedi­atelyafterit isshut off.Do nottouchthe
silencer, cylinder or cooling f langes as it
can cause burns and injury.

6b.Electric starting (*). Start the engine by turning

the starter key clockwise. Release the key as
soon as the engine starts. Always make short at­tempts at starting in order to prevent discharg­ing the battery.
To facilitate starting the engine, press down the
handle so that the front wheels lift 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.

Keep hands and feet well away fromthe
rotating blade(s). Never put your hand
or foot under th e blade casing or in the
grassevacuation unitwhile theengine is
running.

STARTING THE ENGINE (Honda)

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.

1. Release Start/Stop-loop G (fig. 15) 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.

Honda: Close the fuel cock.

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 handle. Disengage the drive by releas­ing coupling clamp I (fig. 15).

ENGLISH

GB

SPEED (*)

Do not touch the variator control when
the motor is not operational. This can
have an adverse effect on the variator's
performance.

Set a suitable speed by moving the variator lever
into one of the 4 positions (fig. 16).

The different positions have the following speeds:

Position : approx. 2.8 km/h
Position 2: approx. 3.1km/h
Position 3: approx. 3.6 km/h

Position : approx. 4.5 km/h

CUTTING HEIGHT

Shut off the motor before adjusting the
cutting height.

Do not set the cuttingheight 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 on one of the
nine positions to be most suitable for your lawn
(fig. 17).

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
faces upwards. Tilt the lawn mower
when the fuel tank is empty.

CLEANING

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

Take off the transmission cover by removing the
screws S (fig. 28) and clean the area around the
transmission (*) and drive belt (*) using a brush or
compressed air. Clean once or twice a year.

You should clean the inside of the drive wheels (*)
once every season. Remove both wheels. Brush or
blow-clean thegear and the wheels' gear ring from
grass and dirt (fig. 18). Refit the wheels.

COOLING SYSTEM

Beforeusing thelawn mower,the engine’scooling
system must be cleaned. Clean the cylinder’s cool­ing flanges and air inlet to make sure they are free
from grass, dirt, etc.

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. 19-20). 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).

CHANGING OIL

Replacethe oil when the engineis warm
and the fuel tank is empty. Take care
whiledrainingastheoilishot,thisisto
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.

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.

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.

GB

ENGLISH

Briggs & Stratton LS 45 (fig. 21): Carefully re­move the air cleaner so that no dirt falls down into
thecarburettor.Take out the foam-plasticfilterand
wash it in liquid detergentand water.Dry the filter.
Pour alittle oil on the filter and squeeze it in. Refit
the air cleaner.

Clean the filter every three months or after every
25hours ofuse, whichever occursfirst. Moreoften
if the lawn mower is used on dusty ground.

Briggs & Stratton ES 45, XTE 50 (fig. 22):

Loosen 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, which ever occurs first. More of­ten if the lawn mower is used on dusty ground.

HondaGCV (fig.23): 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.

BATTERY (*)

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 starter key, it may be because the
battery is “dead”.

Remove the batteryby releasing the the battery as­sembly from the mower using a screwdriver
(fig. 25). Connect the enclosed battery charger to
the battery, and then connect the charger to a wall
socket and charge for 24 hours (fig. 26).

After charging, connect the battery's contactor to
the engine's contactor and reinstall the battery as­sembly (fig. 27). Note! The battery charger must
not be connected to the engine terminal. The en­gine cannot be started by using the charger as a
source of power supply, and the charger will be
damaged.

To remove dirt, carefully knock the filter several
times against a hard surface or use compressed air
fromthe back ofthe filter toblow-clean.Do not try
tobrush the filterclean as this forces dirtdown into
the fibres. A very dirty filter should be replaced.

Clean the air filter after every 25 hours of use or
once a season. More often if the lawn mower is
used on dusty ground.

SPARKING PLUG

Never remove the sparkplug orthe igni­tion lead when checking to see if thereis
any spark, always use an approved test
instrument.

Cleanthe sparkingplug regularly(every 100 hours
of use). Use a wire brush for cleaning.

Change the sparking plug if the electrodes are ex­cessively burnt or if the plug is damaged. The rec­ommendations of the engine manufacturers are as
follows (fig. 24):

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

Honda GCV: NGKBPR6ES.
Spark gap 0.7 - 0.8 mm.

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 shouldbe
charged once again for 24 hours.

ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH CABLE (*)

If the drive does not engage when the coupling
clamp is pressed against the handle, or if the lawn
mower feels cumbersome or slow, the reason may
be that the coupling in the transmission slips. To
rectify this situation, adjust the clutch cable as fol­lows:

1. Remove the transmission cover by unscrewing
the screws S (fig. 28).

2. When the clutch loop is released it should be
possible to pull the mower backwards without
any resistance. If this is not the case, loosen the
lockingnut U andscrew inthe nipple Tuntil the
mower can be moved backwards (fig. 29).

ENGLISH

GB

3. When the clutch loop is
pressed in approx. 2 cm (posi­tion 1) there should be some
resistance when moving the
mower backwards. With the
clutch loop fully pressed in
(position 2) it should not be
possible to pull the mower
backwards. Loosen the lock­ing nut U and screw out the
nipple T until this position is
achieved.

4. Finally tighten the locking nut U.

ADJUSTING THE VARIATORCABLE (*)

If the speed difference between the settings on the
variator control, which gives the highest speed

(position 3 and ), are judged to be too little or do
not exist at all it may be necessary to adjust thevar­iator cable (fig. 16).

1. Run the mower in the position for a few
minutes.

2. If there is any play on the variator cable by nip­ple Y the cable must be adjusted. Loosen the
locking nut X and adjust the cable by screwing
out the nipple Y until the play on the cable is
taken up.

3. Tighten the locking nut X.

Note! Do not tension the cable more than neces­sary, it should just sit in the nipple Y without play.
Too much cable tension will cause the drive belt to
break or result in damage to other parts of the
transmission. When adjusting after, e.g. fitting a
new belt, always startwith the nipple Y screwed in
fully.

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. 31). If the blade shows
signsofdamage, itshouldbereplaced.A
worndown blade createsimbalanceand
can damage the mower.

Always check the blade(s) after an impact. First
disconnect the ignition cable. If the blade system
has been damaged the defective parts must be
changed. Always use genuine spare parts.

To replace the blade, slacken the screw (fig. 30).
Fit the new blade so that the stamped logotype is
turned facing the blade attachment (and not facing
the grass). Refit the washer and screw. Tighten the
screw fully to a torque of 40 Nm.

When replacing the blade, the blade screw should
also be replaced.The guarantee does not cover
damageto theblade, blade holder or engine caused
by running into obstacles.

When replacing the blade, the blade holder and
blade screw, always use original spare parts. Non­authentic spare parts could lead to the risk of per­sonal injury or damage, even if they fit the ma­chine.

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 b een sharpened, it
must then be balanced so as to avoid vi­bration damage.

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.

Thoroughlyclean themowerand storeitindoors in
a dry place.
