ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
The lawn mower is shipped without oil or petrol in the
engine.
The mower has been assembled and tested in the factory and
only needs a small amount of assembly.
Remove the lawnmower carefully from the box - it may be
easier to remove one side of the box and roll the machine
out.
Depress the Brake Lever, unfold the handles carefully so as
not to pinch the cables then
raise the lower handles. Fit the
two bolts and wingnuts from the parts bag, which will lock the
lower handle into place. Raise the upper handle section so
that it lines up with the lower handle section. Tighten the
wingnuts.
The diagram shows the position of the three parts of the
upper handle.
The brake lever (sometimes called
the operator presence
control lever) must be pulled back towards the handle to
start the engine and during operation. If the lever is
released it will automatically stop the engine.
The drive control lever - pull this lever up towards the han-
dle to engage the self-propelled mode. If this is not engaged
the mower can be used in ‘push’ mode.
The engine speed has been set at the factory for optimum
performance - it is not adjustable.
The cutting height can be adjusted by a single lever through
7 positions from 25-75mm. The medium position is best for
most lawns. Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass,
it may be necessary to cut the grass twice, once on the
highest setting and then again on medium.
Operation:
Fill the engine with SAE30 oil to the ‘full’ mark on the
dipstick. Check the level of the oil.
Fill the fuel tank with unleaded petrol.
a cold startto allow fuel
into the engine.
Pull the brake lever back to the push handle and pull the
starter cord until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly to start the
engine.
Note: if the brake lever is released the engine will stop.
Pull the drive control lever up towards the handle and the
lawnmower will self-propel.
