SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Safety Alert Symbol

This safety alert symbol indicates important safety

messages. When you see this symbol be alert to the

possibility of injury. Carefully read the following and

inform others.

Your mower is perfectly safe if used correctly. Failure

to observe the following precautions may result in

serious injury.

Training

Before using the mower read the owners handbook

carefully. Pay particular attention to the safety

precautions. Ensure that you are familiar with the

controls and the proper use of the equipment. Learn how

to stop the mower quickly in an emergency.

Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these

instructions to use the mower. Local regulations can

restrict the age of the operator.

Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are

nearby.

Keep in mind that the user is responsible for accidents or

hazards occurring to other people or their property.

Preparation

While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and

long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when

barefoot or wearing sandals.

Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be

used and remove all objects which may be thrown by the

machine.

WARNING: Petrol is highly ammable:

- store fuel in containers specically designed for this

purpose.

- refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while

refuelling;

- add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the

cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is

running or when the engine is hot;

- if petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine

but move the machine away from the area of spillage

and avoid creating any source of ignition until the

petrol vapours have dissipated;

- replace all fuel tank and container caps securely.

- always use fresh fuel. Stale fuel can block the

carburettor and cause leakage.

Replace faulty exhaust.

A damaged cutterblade or loose xing bolt are major

hazards. Before use, always visually inspect the cutting

mechanism to ensure that it is in good condition. A

damaged cutterblade must be replaced immediately with a

genuine Hayter replacement part.

Operation

Do not operate the engine in a conned space where

exhaust fumes (carbon monoxide) can collect.

Always pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt.

Then pull the cord rapidly to avoid kickback and prevent

hand or arm injury.

Mow only in daylight or good articial light.

Avoid using the machine on wet grass, where feasible.

Always be sure of your footing on slopes.

Walk, never run.

Do not mow excessively steep slopes of more than 20O

and mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction.

Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the

mower towards you.

- Whenever you leave the mower.

- Before refuelling.

- Reduce throttle setting during engine shutdown.

Maintenance & Storage

Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to ensure that the

equipment is in safe operating condition.

Frequently check fuel lines and ttings for cracks or

leaks and replace if necessary.

Inspect the exhaust periodically and replace if worn or

leaking.

Never store the mower with petrol in the tank within an

enclosed area where fumes may reach an open ame or

spark.

Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

To reduce the re hazard, keep the engine and the

surrounding deck area free of grass, leaves, or excessive

grease.

Check the rear deector and grassbag frequently for wear

or deterioration.

Prevent Engine Damage

To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped

without oil or petrol. The engine must be lled with

the correct grade of oil and petrol before starting the

engine.

Oil Type

Always use high quality detergent oil classied SAE 30

oil. Never use additives with recommended oil.

To prolong the life of your engine it is important that

the oil is changed after the rst 5 hours of use - Refer to

‘Maintenance Schedule’.

Check Oil Level

Clean around the oil ller cap before removing. With

the mower on a level surface, unscrew and remove the

oil ller - dipstick. Wipe oil from it with a clean cloth.

Screw the oil ller - dipstick back in place, then unscrew

and remove it to check the oil level. (Refer g.6)

The oil level is correct when it is at the full mark on the

dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL. (Refer g.6)

Fuel Type

Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol. Purchase fuel

in quantities that can be used within 30 days. Never mix

oil with petrol. For added engine protection Briggs &

Stratton recommend the use of their fuel additive which

is available from an authorised Briggs & Stratton service

dealer.

Fill to base of neck to allow for fuel expansion. Do not

overll the fuel tank. (Refer g.7)

OPERATING THE MOWER

Controls

Operate all control levers several times and ensure that

the cables move freely. Check that the engine stop lever

returns freely to its rest position when released. (Refer

g.8)

Starting - Step 1

Operate the primer bulb.

Push on the primer bulb 5 times at two second intervals

to provide the extra fuel to start the engine after

assembling the mower for the rst time.

In normal use push on the primer bulb 3 times at 2

second intervals to provide extra fuel required to to start

a cold engine. Operation of the primer bulb is usually

unnecessary when starting a warm engine. (Refer g.9)

Starting - Step 2

Stand behind the mower and hold the handlebar together

with the engine stop lever with your left hand. With your

right hand hold the engine start grip and pull slowly until

resistance is felt, then pull rapidly to crank the engine.

Carefully return the start grip to the storage position

when the engine starts.

If the engine does not start after 5 attempts, refer to

‘Trouble Shooting’. (Refer g.10)

The engine stop lever must be held rmly against the

handlebar to start and keep the engine running. If the

engine stop lever is released the engine will stop.

To prevent damage never pull the engine start grip

when the engine is running.

Forward Travel

Hold and push against the handlebar with both hands to

move the mower forwards. (Refer g.11)

Reverse Travel

Hold and pull against the handlebar with both hands to

reverse the mower.

Turning

To make a wide turn steer the mower with the handlebar

in the direction required.

To make a tight turn, apply downward pressure on the

handlebar to raise the front wheels just above ground

level and steer in the required direction.

To prevent accidents do not raise the front of the

mower excessively when making a turn. Never raise

the rear of the mower when the engine is running.

Stopping

Release the engine stop lever.

Emergency stop: Release the engine stop lever.

If the engine fails to stop, disconnect the spark plug

lead. (Refer g.12)

Fig. 12

HAY-G00485-A

Slopes

To prevent engine damage do not use the mower on

slopes greater than 20 degrees. (Refer g.13)

Height Of Cut

To adjust the height of cut: Grip the lever and pull side-

ways to disengage it from the locking notch, then push

forwards to lower or pull backwards to raise the height

of cut. Finally release the lever at the required position

and ensure it locks rmly into one of the seven setting

notches.

Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions.

Aim to prevent engine overloading and blockages by

avoiding low cuts in long grass conditions. Be prepared

to make two cuts when the grass is long. (Refer g.14)

Before Mowing

To prevent accidents, thoroughly inspect the area

and remove all objects which when contacted by the

mower cutterblade could become dangerous projec-

tiles. Inspect the area for hidden obstructions which

when contacted by the cutterblade could risk health

and safety or result in damage to the mower. Remem-

ber the location of these obstructions and ensure that

you mow around them. (Refer g.15)

Grassbag

Raise the rear deector and lift the grassbag through the

handlebar and lower the rear deector to rest against the

rear of the mower.

To empty the grassbag, pour out the grass clippings and

shake the grassbag vigorously to clean the airways. Good

grass collection depends on good air ow through the

grassbag. When collecting grass clippings it is important

that the grassbag is emptied regularly to prevent block-

ages and engine overloading. (Refer g.16)

Without Grass Collection

Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the

rear deector in the closed position. (Refer g.17)

Heavy Growth

Areas of heavy growth should be mown without

collecting the clippings. If collection is required, rst

mow the area without the grassbag at the maximum

height of cut setting. Allow the grass clippings to dry

out and then mow the area at the maximum height of cut

setting with the grassbag tted. Reduce the height of cut

and mow the area again as necessary until the required

nish is obtained.

To prevent damage to your lawn do not remove more

than one third of grass height in one cut. (Refer g.18)

Friction Disc

The cutterblade is driven by the engine via a friction

disc to help prevent damage occurring to the engine

crankshaft and cutting mechanism when a hidden

obstruction or overload is encountered. (Refer g.19)

Always stop the engine when a hidden obstruction

or excessive vibration is encountered. Disconnect the

spark plug lead and examine the cutting mechanism.

ALWAYS replace a damaged cutterblade - Refer to

“Maintenance”.

Non Grassed Areas

When moving the mower across non-grassed areas, stop

the engine and set the mower to the maximum height of

cut to protect the cutting mechanism. (Refer g.14)
